Tech comes up short, and the bats fall silent after a productive 3rd inning, to drop Game 1 to the Cardinals.
Kit Sheetz started off the game with a modest but reasonable effort that had the Hokies up by two in the as the Hokies took their at bats in the top of the 4th inning. A solid at bat in the bottom of the 3rd resulted in a 4 run rally containing 2 Hokie ‘taters. Matt Dauby hit a solo shot to lead off the inning, and Phil Sciretta smacked an inside the park three run shot to center field.
