Baseball will forever be an often-strange game. What other sport tells you that you are one of the best at the function if you hit the ball a third of the time? The Hokies ended their 13-game home stand with a disappointing double header on a dicey weather Saturday when the bats went as cold as the Blacksburg March wind, and the Ace pitcher Drue Hackenberg had his first sub-par outing.
It didn’t start out that way, though. Boston College showed up to play ball, that’s for sure. Maybe the seeds were sewn with the late inning quieting of the bats on Wednesday’s close game with UMass-Lowell?
