The Virginia baseball team won its sixth regional championship in the last seven years Sunday as the Cavaliers rallied from four runs down to earn a 14-10 win in 11 innings over Southern California at the NCAA Lake Elsinore Regional at Lake Elsinore Diamond in Lake Elsinore, Calif. The four-hour, 48-minute marathon began late on Sunday evening and extended well into Monday morning, concluding at 4:18 a.m. ET.

The third-seeded Cavaliers (37-22) advance to play the champion of the Los Angeles Regional – either UCLA or Maryland – in a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional series June 5-7 or 6-8. The Bruins and Terrapins play a decisive championship game Monday at 11 p.m. ET/8 CT.

“We’re obviously very excited that we found a way to win this regional,” Virginia head coach Brian O’Connor said. “USC has a heck of a ballclub. I’m so proud of our ballclub. It’s been noted how much our team has gone through over the course of the season. We’ve endured more than any team that I’ve coached in 12 years at Virginia, and certainly this moment is very special because of what these guys have accomplished in light of that. This particular game, it certainly wasn’t how you would draw it up, but maybe that makes it all the more special. Just the fact that our guys hung in there and found a way to get it done in the end. I’m as proud of this ball club as I’ve ever been and we’re looking forward to playing next weekend.”
