NCAA Field of 64 Projections: Latest D1Baseball Projections See Virginia Baseball as the Last Team In

After the loss to Boston College on Wednesday night, Virginia head coach Brian O'Connor made the case for his team to be included in the field:

Boston College jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first with a pair of doubles and a Virginia fielding error that led to a run scoring. UVA answered in the bottom of the opening frame with a two-run home run from Becker. The homer was Becker’s ninth of the season.

The Eagles reestablished a five-run lead when a pair of runs scored on a wild pitch and a Virginia throwing error in the top of the second inning. In the bottom of the frame, the Cavaliers plated a pair of runs on back-to-back RBI singles from Becker and Ford. After a quiet third, Boston College scored two more runs in the fourth on a Cavalier error and an RBI single to make it a 9-4 ballgame.

Alex Markus pitched 2.1 innings of one-hit ball out of the Virginia bullpen to keep it a five-run game.
Harrison Didawick reached base to open Virginia’s four-run inning on an Eagle error. Didawick later scored on a bases-loaded fielder’s choice before Ford hammered a no-doubt three-run blast that brought UVA back to within a run at 9-8.

Boston College responded with a three-run inning in the top of the eighth, including a two-run double down the line in left and an Eagle scoring on a wild pitch.
In the bottom of the ninth, a trio of Cavalier batters went down in order as Boston College secured the 12-8 final.

Will they be? It is going to be among the biggest storylines to watch across the country on Monday when the field is announced.
