Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Virginia Cavaliers and South Illinois Salukis.

Getting offensive support from Mickey Yelland, the Virginia Cavaliers topped the South Illinois Salukis, 8-2. Yelland was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Cavaliers. Virginia reliever David Valenza was the winner. His record is now 1-1. The losing pitcher was Andrew Parks.

Yelland had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, when he hit a run-scoring single. The Cavaliers went on to win.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Yelland told the Virginia News.

The Cavaliers now own a record of 20-23.
