The Hokies recover from Wednesday by putting up a Walk Off 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Panthers.
English Field at Union Park (aka Home) was a happy and exciting place this evening. Kit Sheetz pitched a decent game, the Hokies developed some very needed and timely offense; especially in the bottom of the 9th inning. Virginia Tech wins the first game of this weekend's series with Pitt 5-4.
