Junior pitcher Danny Hultzen was named Baseball America's Midseason Player of the Year recently. Hultzen showed why he was worthy of the honor on Friday night, working a season-high 8.0 innings in a 6-2 victory over No. 8 Georgia Tech. Hultzen (7-0) matched Jacob Thompson (2006-08) for the UVa career wins record with his 27th career victory (27-2). Hultzen allowed two runs (one earned), seven hits and one walk and struck out a dozen. He recorded his 13th career game with 10 or more strikeouts (UVa is 13-0 in those games). Virginia's all-time strikeouts leader, Hultzen now has 320 career strikeouts and moved into a 16th-place tie with Miami's Chris Hernandez (2008-10) and Florida State's Jon McDonald (1998-2000) on the all-time ACC strikeouts list.
