Final Home Matchup
The Virginia Cavaliers baseball team will close out its regular‑season slate at home on May 12, welcoming the Richmond Spiders to Disharoon Park. The contest marks the final appearance for the Cavaliers on their familiar Charlottesville diamond before the focus shifts to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Virginia enters the game with a 33‑18 overall record and a reputation for potent hitting. The squad sits 38th nationally in runs per game and third in the ACC for home runs, having compiled 406 runs and 88 homers this season. Historically, the Cavaliers hold a 41‑14 edge over Richmond in games played in Charlottesville, and they have won 90 of the 152 all‑time meetings.
Broadcast and Pitching Details
The matchup will be streamed live on ACCNX and can be heard on WINA (98.9 FM/1090 AM). On the mound, Richmond will turn to right‑hander Khris Morris, while Virginia will rely on Max Stammel, who is slated to start for the third straight midweek appearance after posting a 3‑4 record and a 6.56 ERA.
The Cavaliers have been on a roller‑coaster lately, having been swept by Pitt in their last ACC series before rebounding with a five‑game winning streak that included a sweep of Clemson and a 10‑home‑run outburst against Notre Dame. Those performances helped cement the status of several players as national award semifinalists.
Looking Ahead
Semifinalist nods for the season have gone to Lucas Hartman, Tyler Kapa and Eric Becker, while AJ Gracia, Noah Yoder and the rest of the roster have also drawn attention for their mid‑season contributions. Their combined offensive firepower has kept the team among the most prolific scoring units in the conference. As the final home game approaches, the atmosphere in Charlottesville is expected to be electric, with fans hoping the Cavaliers can finish the regular season on a high note and build momentum for the postseason.
