The Virginia Tech Softball team, off over the mountains in Lexington, Kentucky (one of those states that used to be Virginia) to start off their challenge to get to Oklahoma for the NCAA Softball World Series, put up a big win against Illinois (another state that used to be Virginia); 6-2
Sierra Walton came to the plate in the Hokie half of the 6th, and power smashed a ball over the left field wall for a 3 run dinger. The Hokies hung another run on the scoreboard, but the box score hasn’t been posted at this writing so all we have is Twitter and here’s the big home run.
