The Virginia Tech Hokies softball team cruised into Saturday’s meeting with No. 14 Georgia in the Athens Regional, coming off a 6-1 win over Boston University.
Things started well for the Hokies, trailing 1-0 in the fourth inning when junior Emma Ritter homered to give the Hokies a 2-1 lead. However, that lead wouldn’t last, as Georgia put up four runs in the bottom of the fourth, off an RBI double and a three-run home run. Suddenly, the ‘Dawgs were back up 5-2.
Georgia wasn’t done, hitting two home runs in the fifth run, accounting for three more runs to take an 8-2 lead.
