DELAND, Fla. – Four Hokies registered multi-hit games led by freshman Michael Fernandez’ three, and Sam Fragale added two RBI to his two-hit effort, but it wasn’t enough as Purdue made the most of its opportunities to register a 12-5 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon at Melching Field.
Trailing 1-0 in the third, Tech (3-7) loaded the bases with no outs, but a double play and grounder to short ended that threat. During the game, 20 Hokies reached base via hit (12), walk (4), hit by pitch (3) and error (1), but 11 of those were stranded, while four were erased by double plays.
