The Virginia Tech Hokies softball team is good. That’s not news. Tech’s 12th-ranked softball team is off to another great start in 2025 and hosted No. 16 Stanford in a huge weekend series in Blacksburg.
Things got off to a great start on Friday when the Hokies defeated the Cardinal, 4-3. On Saturday, it looked like Stanford might even the series after overcoming a 3-0 deficit; the Cardinal jumped out to a 5-3 lead behind a four-run fifth inning. Fortunately, the Hokies got out of that inning with no further damage.
However, in the top of the 6th, it looked like Stanford was on the verge of blowing things open when something incredible happened—something that had never happened in school history before.
