LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (AP) — Virginia's Connor Jones outdueled Southern California's Kyle Davis, and the Cavaliers scored all of their runs in the last three innings to win 6-1 on Friday in the opening round of the Lake Elsinore Regional.
Jones (6-2) gave up one run and five hits in 7 2/3 innings, allowing only three runners to reach scoring position. He struck out four and walked two for the Cavaliers (35-22).

Josh Sborz got four outs for his 13th save.
