The No. 11 Virginia Tech Hokies baseball team extended its winning streak to 13 games with a 7-6 victory over Penn State and an 8-2 win over Radford on Saturday night. The Hokies' offense was electric, combining for seven home runs and 15 runs across the two games.
Why it matters
The Hokies' hot start to the season has them ranked 11th nationally and they are quickly approaching the 20-win mark, a milestone they have never reached this early in a season. The team's power hitting and pitching depth have been key factors in their dominant run.
The details
In the first game against Penn State, the Hokies fought back from three separate deficits to earn the 7-6 win. Jordan Lynch, Addison Foster, Rachel Castine, and Zoe Yaeger all hit home runs for Tech. In the second game, the Hokies jumped out to an early lead and broke it open with a six-run fourth inning, highlighted by a grand slam from Nora Abromavage. Pitcher Bree Carrico earned the win, allowing just three hits.
- The Hokies reached 20 wins in just 22 games - the fastest the program has ever reached that milestone.
- The team has now won 13 straight games.
