The University of Mary Washington baseball team defeated Southern Virginia University, 8-3, on Tuesday at V. Earl Dickinson Stadium in the regular season finale. UMW, 9-15 on the season, gains the third seed in this weekend's Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.

The Eagles, who threw eight pitchers, scored in every inning but the fifth. In the first, Caleb McAlister singled, stole second, and scored on a throwing error. In the second, Noah Roots singled, stole second, and scored on a triple from Owen Reilly. The third saw the Eagles score a pair, as Jonathan Sedmak and Garrett Lyons each singled. Sedmak scored on a throwing error, and Nick Ciuffreda plated Lyons from second base with a sacrifice fly.
