Personal note: Giovanni Heater is going to be filling-in this weekend with Virginia Tech Baseball coverage on the Virginia Tech Sports Network. My uncle sadly passed away unexpectedly last night.

Another Ben Watson appreciation post. The Virginia Tech Baseball star in ACC Baseball ranks:

• Best batting average (.422)
• Most hits (84)
• 1st in hits per-game (1.71)
• Tied for second in doubles (19)
• 6th toughest to strikeout (0.45 strikeouts per game)
• 8th in OBP (.417%)

It might not count in the stats, but let the record show this was hit 430 feet to right center. Mashed off the bat of leadoff man Christian Martin.

Legendary Virginia Tech Men’s Soccer Head Coach Jerry Cheynet dropped by the radio booth before today’s game. My Dad played for him from 1981-1985 at Tech. He found a pretty neat piece of championship gear at his home over the weekend. 1984 Metro Champions!

This can’t end poorly, right?

Mood walking out of Blacksburg Municipal Ballpark following our first rec softball loss of the year. We will be better next week.

All of that energy and excitement in Blacksburg is just gone after graduation. Sad. ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵇᵉⁱⁿᵍ ˢᵃⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜʰⁱᵖᵒᵗˡᵉ ˡⁱⁿᵉ ʷᵃˢ ˢᵘᵖᵉʳ ᶠᵃˢᵗ ᵗᵒᵈᵃʸ ʷⁱᵗʰᵒᵘᵗ ʸᵃˡˡ ʰᵉʳᵉ ʷʰⁱᶜʰ ʷᵃˢ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ᵗⁱᵍʰᵗ

Resilient, gritty win today for Virginia Tech Baseball! One-game back of second-place in the ACC Coastal Division. Going to be a great week!

Griffin Stieg with a pair of 98 MPH fastballs in the first inning! Great to see him back for Virginia Tech Baseball.
