Prior to their conference meeting with the North Carolina Tar Heels, this past weekend, the No. 13 (USA Today/Coaches Poll) / No. 15 (ESPN.com/USA Softball) Virginia Tech Hokies played host to Mount Saint Mary’s for a double header. The first game was a close matchup, but VT squeaked out the win, 6-5, before mercy ruling The Mount, 10-2, during the second game of the day. Last week the Hokies also mercy-ruled the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs, in Boiling Springs, NC, with a score of 15-3. This past weekend Virginia Tech traveled to Chapel Hill, NC, for their second conference series and first away ACC series.
