The series against UVA usually gets played later in the season to honor the tradition of the Commonwealth Clash rivalry between the programs. There must have been some sort of odd scheduling bungle up, because the normal Hokie vs. Hoo contest is played in hot weather and when more is on the line for both teams. The games this weekend are less about dealing with the heat and more about dealing with the wind and rain.
The Hokies are pretty young and even though there are some experienced players in the lineup, the pitching is definitely a mixed bag of very new and single season experienced players.
