Wagner struck for all seven of its runs in the second inning, keyed by a two-run single from Nicholas Mazzotta and a two-run double from Evan McRae. Virginia answered with four runs in the bottom of the first, aided by two errors from Wagner second baseman Matt Sutera.

The Cavaliers completed the comeback with an eight-run sixth inning, featuring a three-run homer from Harris and a solo shot from Jackson. Virginia tallied 14 hits to Wagner’s 10. The Seahawks grounded into two double plays.

Virginia begins the season 1-0, while Wagner starts 0-1. The teams continue their series with a doubleheader Saturday.
