VIRGINIA-NORTH CAROLINA SERIES • North Carolina holds a 177-103-4 edge in the all-time series with Virginia. • Nineteen of the last 24 games have been decided by three runs or fewer, including each of the three contests last year in Charlottesville and UVa’s ACC tournament win over the Tar Heels. • UVa has won two of three games in the regular-season series in each of the last two years, including in 2013 in the regular-season finale in Chapel Hill. • This marks the first time both programs have been unranked for their regu- lar-season series since May 2003.

THAISS CONTINUES STRONG SEASON • Matt Thaiss has had a breakout season and leads the team in batting at .331 (14th in ACC). • He had perhaps his best week in a Virginia uniform in UVa’s last full week be- fore the exam break, going 11-for-23 (.478) with four doubles, a homer and 11 RBI in five games from April 21-26.

pLayiNg iT cLOsE• Thirteen of Virginia’s 19 defeats have come by two runs or fewer, including seven games by one run. UVa is 6-10 in ACC games decided by two or fewer.• UVa’s last six losses all are by two runs or fewer.
FREsHMEN a MaiNsTay iN LiNEUp• Virginia has put at least four freshmen in 43 of the 49 starting lineups this year, including eight games with five rookies and three contests with six.• Adam Haseley (RF/CF) and Pavin Smith (1B/LF) have started every game.
• UVa has had first-years in all three outfield positions in eight games.• Fourteen of UVa’s 30 players are freshmen.
cLOsER? sTaRTER? sbORz THRiVEs aT bOTH• For most of the season, Josh Sborz has filled the Cava-liers’ closer rule, but recent injuries have prompted him to make a pair of starts.• Sborz has recorded an ACC-best 12 saves and is limit-ing opponents to a .185 batting average • He has been named to the Stopper of the Year Mid-season Watch List.
• In his two starts, he has allowed three runs in 13 in-nings (2.08 ERA).• Sborz went 6-4 with a 2.92 ERA in 17 games (15 starts) during the 2014 season, primarily as the Saturday starter.
ON THE ROaD agaiN• With the crazy weather year, Virginia has spent plenty of time away from home.• Owning 19 road/neutral victories, the Cavaliers are tied for the 10th-most road/neutral wins of teams in Division I baseball and the most in the ACC.• Of teams in traditional warm-weather states, UVa stands second in road/neutral wins behind Dallas Bap-tist (20).• UConn has 24 road/neutral wins to lead the nation.
iNJURiEs FORcE caVaLiERs TO JUggLE LiNEUp• Virginia has been forced to alter its lineup as injuries have hampered three of its returning starters.• The Cavaliers have trotted out 29 different starting lineups in 49 games.• Kenny Towns (3B) is the lone Cavalier to start every game at the same position, while freshmen Pavin Smith and Adam Haseley also have started every game.
THE WaLkiNg WOUNDED• Virginia position players have combined to miss 133 games this season because of injuries.• Three returning starters have missed significant time: • OF Joe McCarthy had back surgery in late January and missed 11 weeks (35 games) prior to his return April 15. • C Robbie Coman injured his knee on Feb. 21 and missed eight games. He missed the April 1 game vs. VMI after taking a grounder to the eye in batting practice. • INF/OF John La Prise is out for the season with a hip injury that limited him to four games early this season.• 2B/OF Ernie Clement missed seven games recently with a hamstring injury.• Matt Thaiss suffered an ankle injury April 12 but missed only one game. Daniel Pinero was hit in the chin with a pitch April 21 and missed the next game.• INF Jack Gerstenmaier (hamstring) made his season debut April 15 after undergoing hamstring surgery in late September (missed 35 games).
kiRby, casEy siDELiNED by iNJURiEs• In addition to the position player injuries, starting pitchers Nathan Kirby and Derek Casey each have gone down recently with injuries.• A 2014 First-Team All-American and ACC Co-Pitcher of the Year, Kirby exited after three innings April 17 against Miami with a strained left lat muscle and will miss approximately 6-8 weeks.• Casey left after 2 2/3 innings in his April 21 start against Longwood with an undisclosed injury. His sta-tus is unknown at this time.• Pitcher Riley Wilson (shoulder) also has been side-lined and has not played this season.
