Recap

After a week of no practice due to spring break, the Rams came out against the University of Virginia in their first night name of the season. Walks and errors plauged the Rams as UVA put up 17 runs in the game, while UVA pitching allowed just 1 Ram hit.

Stephen Blue started on the mound for the Rams. Control was an issue, as Blue allowed 6 walks and hit 3 batters. He allowed 7 runs - 4 earned - in 1 2/3 innings before being relieved by Brendan Sheehy, who got the Rams out of the inning, and pitched the 3rd. Chris Bishop came on to relieve in the 4th and started the 5th, where Luke Rhodes came on to relieve and finished the game up, pitching a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 6th.

The VCU bats were almost nonexistent. Four UVA pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts and allowed just one hit, an single by Mike Moise.
