The University of North Carolina at Ashville has a baseball team, and they showed up north of their border to take on the Hokies for both teams’ season opening series. Early baseball games are almost always non-conference match ups, and in general there is the basic goal of getting a good start on the season with a series win, or respectable showing in a tournament in better weather states. Well, this weekend, Ashville came to Blacksburg, and Tech got the very unusual opportunity to open a season at home.
We talked about the roster and some of the changes that have happened over the Hokies’ off season.
