Virginia responded by hitting three home runs in an inning for the third time this season to make it 11-7. But the Cavaliers intentionally walked Cam Smith to load the bases with one out in the eighth to face Tibbs, who delivered with a deep drive into the seats.Jamie Arnold turned in another quality start for Florida State, allowing two earned runs with nine strikeouts across six innings.
