VA Baseball

The University of Virginia baseball team is coming off of a great season in 2011. They had one of their best results ever in the College World Series by winning their Super Regional and then getting 3rd place overall in the tournament as well. This all capped of a very successful regular season in which they won both the conference regular season and the conference tournament championships as well. They finished with an overall record of 56-12 and a conference record of 22-8.

Their leaders on offense were John Hicks and Steve Proscia. Hicks hit .332 with 8 homers on the season and had 59 RBI. Proscia hit .320 and also had 8 home runs with 59 RBI. Pitcher Tyler Wilson went undefeated from the mound going 10-0 during the season with an ERA of 2.24. So they had good production in both the defensive and offensive phases of the game during the season. This is to be expected from a team with the kind of results that they had. This was the Cavaliers 3rd straight year winning the conference tournament and they don’t look to be slowing down any soon with some good newcomers coming this year to help fill the void left by some of the upperclassmen leaving the team.
