Ladies had a quiet weekend and went 2-0 with a doubleheader sweep of Longwood moving them to 25-5 on the year.
They don't have a midweek game so next up is #17 Stanford (23-3). Friday is 6pm on ACCNX, Saturday is 4pm on ACC Network and Sunday is Noon on ACCNX.
Hopefully no rust sets in before this big ACC matchup.

Ladies now #12 in rankings
6pm Tonight on ACCNX against #16 Stanford. Huge series for the ladies. A sweep in their favor probably puts them in Top 10
0-0 end of one.
0-0 end of two.
stanford 2 - VT 0. end of three.
Lemley struggling to hit the strike zone
Yaeger with the boom shot. 3-2 Hokies
That HR by Yaeger was smoked! That was a shot!
VT 3 - stanford 2. End of four.
Crazy that was Lemley's first 1-2-3 inning in the 5th
VT 3 - stanford 2. end of five.
Lemley works out of a jam in 6th. 3-2 still
Ladies work in another run in the 6th on a fielders choice. 4-2 still hitting.
VT 4 - stanford 2. end of six.
Kleiman in to pitch the 7th.
Blackwell is a really poor defender. That's two balls that looked catchable tonight
Wow that was definitely strike three.
Bringing Lemley back in ...wow
Looked like a strike to me.
Bases loaded, two outs, 4-3 HOKIES.
Lemley back in to pitch.
Big win. 4-3 final
FAM!!!
Players of the game: Jordan Lynch 2 for 2, 2 runs scored. Zoe Yaeger 1 for 3, it was a big one... 3 run home run.
Kylie Aldridge was also 1 for 2 with a run scored. And Annika Rohs had the game winning RBI with a ground out.
4pm on ACC Network Ladies now 26-5 on the season
Looks like a good crowd there. Great to see and looks like a beautiful day for softball
Hokies already chased the starter with 2 outs in the first. But still 0-0 with runners on first and second
and first batter HBP so bases loaded
HBP reviewed as looked close to just hitting the knob of the bat. Might have been better to sell it more, but still the call is upheld. Next batter drilled in the back. Hokies up 1-0
Followed up with a single to score 2 before a strike out (2nd strike call was well outside the zone). Hokies up 3-0 after one
Stanford gets a two-out solo shot in the top of the fourth. 3-1 hokies
Hokies strand a pair on in the bottom of the inning. Still 3-1 after 4
Our defense is so suspect at times. There were three misses on that play. Tied game
And leads to a two out homer to make it 5-3 Stanford.
And another couple errors. Just ugly defense
Not having a 3rd base camera hurts them on this review
Finally got a decent video of the play. Clearly out and we get out of the inning. Time to score some more runs.
Stanford with a 2-score single followed by a 2-run home run. Hokies escape the inning with a close and reviewed caught stealing. Down 3-5 after 4.5
This umpires inside strike is tough on all our hitters
That strikeout was at least 8 inches off the plate. This ump wants to go out tonight early for dinner.
Horseshit call. That was ball 4 by a mile. Not even questionable.
Kleiman in to start the 6th. Lets up a leadoff single
TRIPLE FUCKING PLAY ON A DEEP BALL TO LEFT CENTER!
Hokies grab a triple play to end the inning. Left fielder laid out for the catch and runners going from second and first. Beautiful play and hopefully sparks the offense
First ever in Hokies Softball
And Aldrich starts with a single
McMillan 2 run double ties the game with 2 outs bottom 6th
Cori McMillan with huge game tying double in 6th
Chatfield scores McMillan....let's fucking go
2 out double drives in 2 to tie it up!
Another 2 out double and Tech leads 6-5
Pour it on. Castine two run 💥
AND A SINGLE UP THE MIDDLE TO LEAD!
And a 2 run Homer! 8-6!
I mean 8-5
8-5
And a 2-run shot to pad the lead!
Lemly in for the save
Crazy she is only third in ERA in ACC. It's all that one game she gave up multiple homeruns
Strike out to start the inning
God defense again
walk and a single with the runner advancing to 2nd. Tying run at the plate with 1 out
Feel like that was a catchable ball but Peck stepped the wrong way
and a double puts them within 1 with tying run on second
Hokies win! 8-7 final.
well damn, guess your steam is ahead of mine! Woo!
Just watching on regular cable on ACCN.
rise ball strikes her out. 2 outs with runner on second. 8-7
LETS GO
Ranked series win
HOKIES!
Fly out to right and hokie WIN! 8-7
FAM!!!
Let's get the brooms out tomorrow and move into Top 10
Tennessee and South Carolina both with ranked losses this weekend ahead of Hokies in 10th/11th. Tennessee did beat Oklahoma though once.
Third game of the series on ACCNX. Hoping for the sweep.
stanford leads 1-0 end of one
same score end of two.
2-0 end of three.
Aldrich with a blast to center to tie it 2-2 in the 4th
A wild pitch puts two runners in scoring position and McMillan pulls a single off the second baseman's glove. 4-2 still in the 4th
Bre Peck with a strike from center to home to end the top of the fourth.
Kylie Aldridge with a smoked two-run HR to tie it!
Cori McMillan with 2 RBI single to right to go ahead.
HOKIES ahead 4-2.

McMillan with the walk off in the 7th!
Cori McMillan *BOOM*
FUCK YEAH! TOTAL SWEEP!
Sorry I missed it. Unfortunately I don't think we will move up in rankings. South Carolina upset LSU today and has rubber match of series on now and Tennessee took a second game from Oklahoma.
None of the other teams ahead took losses.
