BASEBALL

No. 24 UVa 5, No. 2 UNC 4

CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Virginia's first home rain-shortened game of the baseball season came at an opportune time in the finale of a three-game series with North Carolina (42-9 , 20-6 ACC).

The Cavaliers (34-17, 14-13), who had been 0-9 against Top 25 opposition, beat the Tar Heels on a two-run bases-loaded single by Jeremy Farrell with two out in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Minutes later, the umpires sent the teams to their dugouts and evacuated the stadium because of lightning. The field was under water when the umpires decided to end the game after a one-hour, 10-minute delay.

UNC (42-9 , 20-6 ACC) was looking at a possible move into the No. 1 spot in the poll following Virginia Tech's victory over top-ranked Miami on Saturday.
