This past weekend the Virginia Tech Hokies opened their softball season at the Sportco Kick Off Classic in Las Vegas, NV.
The Fighting Gobblers started their season with a 4-3 victory over Indiana State. The Hokies trailed, 0-1, for the first four innings, but came alive during the fifth when Aysha Richardson, Olivia Lattin, and Breanna Davenport combined for three runs. Vanessa Gonzalez crushed her 17th career home run, at the top of the sixth, to put the Hokies up 4-1. At the bottom of the seventh Indiana returned to the scoreboard with two runs, and came within one score of tying the game.
