Hokies Rally to Advance in ACC Tournament
Virginia Tech’s baseball squad erased a 4-0 hole early in the ACC Tournament second‑round clash against Notre Dame, turning the tide with a 17‑10 victory that clinched a quarterfinal berth.
The Hokies unleashed a barrage of offense, finishing with 19 hits and 17 runs, a feat underscored by the fact that every batter recorded at least one hit.
Ethan Ball was the catalyst, launching two homers that drove in three runs while also drawing two walks, while Hudson Lutterman delivered a clutch two‑RBI single with the bases loaded in the sixth inning.
On the mound, Logan Eisenreich weathered a rocky first inning before settling down, tossing 4.2 frames and striking out six, and Madden Clement capped the outing with two strikeouts to close the game.
A Milestone Victory
The win not only secured a spot in the NCAA Regional but also marked the Hokies’ fifth straight season with at least 30 victories, a testament to the program’s consistency.
Looking ahead, Virginia Tech will meet UNC on Friday at 3 p.m. ET, a matchup that could further test the team’s momentum as they chase a deeper tournament run.
