Hokies open ACC play with 14-3 win over No. 5 Miami

Nick Anderson and Tom Stoffel each drive in five runs in victory

BLACKSBURG – A Nick Anderson grand slam in the first inning was all the run support Packy Naughton and the pitching staff needed for Virginia Tech, as the Hokies defeated No. 5 Miami on Friday night at English Field, 14-3, in the ACC season opener for both schools.

Anderson’s blast, the only extra base hit for the Hokies of their 15 in the game, accounted for four of Tech’s five first-inning runs, while Tom Stoffel added a pair of two-RBI singles in the game as both knocked in a total of five runs in the contest to lead the Hokies’ offensively.
