This weekend's series against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame might have been a chance to snap a long and very disappointing losing slump. Saturday, even with the loss the Hokies showed a bit of life; but some very unaggressive play in the outfield along with a decision to leave starting pitcher Jon Woodcock in for the top of the 9th left Tech little chance to salvage a win and stop the slide.
The series started on Thursday instead of Friday. We already know what happened on Thursday evening, and would prefer to not be reminded. Friday did present itself as an opportunity, with Kit Sheetz on the mound, to get some sort of stop.
