The Bulldogs and Keydets will meet in Greenville, South Carolina, in a speed‑driven contest that could reshape the tournament bracket.

In a high-scoring send-off, VMI’s offense sparked with home runs but could not contain The Citadel’s rally, leaving the Keydets with a 28-26 record and a date against their rivals for the conference title.

The VMI baseball team lost 7‑4 in ten innings to The Citadel, with Grayson Fitzwater establishing new career records for walks.

VMI will host The Citadel for three games at Gray‑Minor Stadium, looking to leverage its base‑stealing prowess, walk rate and power hitting while The Citadel fights for seeding in the Southern Conference tournament.

VMI’s upcoming four‑game series against Norfolk State could deliver the program’s first 30‑win season in 16 years, driven by standout performances from Grayson Fitzwater, Owen Prince and a pitching staff that has already set a new shutout record.
