The dates and times for the games will be announced at a later date and every game of the round-robin tournament will be streamed on D1Baseball.com with a paid subscription likely to be required.
Virginia and Oregon State have met three times before, with each meeting taking place at the 2007 Charlottesville Regional. The Cavaliers won a 13-inning thriller in the winner’s bracket, but the Beavers then won two games in a row in the regional final to advance.
UVA is 3-5 in eight all-time meetings against Oklahoma, including a 1-3 mark in the NCAA Tournament. The most recent matchups came in 2020, when the Cavaliers opened the season with a three-game series against the Sooners in Pensacola, Florida, where Oklahoma took two out of the three games. Oklahoma came to Disharoon Park for the Charlottesville Regional in 2023, but the two teams did not cross paths in the regional.
Next season’s Karbach Round Rock Classic will feature the first-ever meeting between Virginia and Minnesota.
Virginia now has two early-season non-conference tournaments scheduled for the 2025 season. The week before the Cavaliers head to Texas, they’ll open the season outside of the continental United States for the first time ever by playing in the inaugural Puerto Rico Challenge on the weekend of February 13-16. The matchups and schedule for the tournament have yet to be announced, but Virginia will be joined in Puerto Rico by UConn, Michigan, Missouri, Penn State, Rice, Stetson, and Villanova. The games will be played at Francisco “Paquito” Montaner Stadium in Ponce and Isidoro García Stadium in Mayaguez.

Oklahoma lawmakers consider bill to require annual fee for transmission lines on private property
As consumer electricity needs grow, lawmakers are discussing strategies to ease the burden on landowners who don’t want the towers and wires carrying that energy on their property.
As it’s written now, the bill would require transmission owners to pay landowners $2 per foot of line annually. During the committee meeting, Murdock said he introduced the legislation to “start a conversation.”
“ This is an idea of, maybe moving forward, if the landowners are getting a royalty off of the power being pushed across their property, it may make it a little more palatable for someone to have a transmission line go across their property,” he said.
Landowners can enter into easement agreements with companies to set aside portions of their land for the builds. But in some cases, eminent domain is used to obtain a right-of-way.
“ I’m not saying that this is going to do away with eminent domain,” Murdock said. “What I’m hoping is this just makes it a little more palatable.”
Murdock said he spoke with utility companies about the legislation, though he didn’t name them. The bill’s language could change after creating an alternative rate based on conversations with the companies, he said.
Sen. Dave Rader, R-Tulsa, said the bill could raise utility rates for consumers living in Oklahoma’s most populous counties if companies charge more to make up for the annual fee.
Murdock pushed back, noting the lines are necessary to deliver electricity to other counties.
“You understand that you flip that light on because — and have that ability to have electricity because — the people in my district have a transmission line that goes across them, getting you that power,” he said.
