Since the start of the 2021 season, Virginia is now 41-7 in February. Head Coach Chris Pollard matches Brian O’Connor’s 9-1 start in 2004 for the best start in a UVA head coaching tenure in program history. Dating back to last season, Virginia is riding a 15-game home winning streak—the longest current streak by a Power Four school.

Saturday’s walk-off was UVA’s first of the season and the second during the 15-game home win streak. UVA starter Max Stammel tied his career-high with five strikeouts in a career-long outing of 4.2 innings pitched.
