NEW ORLEANS, La. – Virginia Tech freshman pitcher Ian Seymour struck out nine batters and received solid defensive help in the nightcap, as the Hokies were able to split their day-night doubleheader in their final day of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Baseball Classic at Maestri Field Saturday.
Tech (2-5) struggled offensively in the first game, as it could not capitalize with runners in scoring position and dropped a 4-2 game to the host New Orleans Privateers. In the second game, the Hokies came through in the clutch early, while Seymour tossed a season-high 6.
