Virginia, which outhit FSU 10-7, became the first team bounced from the eight-team, double-elimination tournament. The Cavaliers put together a rally in the seventh inning after back-to-back singles by Ethan Anderson and Anthony Stephan. After two strikeouts, Henry Godbout and Casey Saucke had back-to-back RBI singles to cut Virginia's deficit to 7-2 before Henry Ford struck out.
Virginia starting pitcher starter Jay Woolfolk tweaked his right knee after allowing Ferrer's first homer, a solo shot in the fourth inning. Joe Savino came in to relieve Woolfolk a few batters later.
