Don't ask me how on a 2-2 week with a blowout loss to Radford the Hokies moved up...but here we are. #25 in this week's rankings. Hokies won the series with Notre Dame 2-1.

The week ahead has Troy in town Wednesday at 6pm on ACCNX. This weekend is probably the Hokies biggest opportunity of the season to shine as #9 FSU comes to Blacksburg. Friday is 6pm on ACCNX, Saturday is 1pm but does not show a broadcast, Sunday is 1pm again on ACCNX.
Comical that ESPN decides to put unranked Wake at #16 UNC on ESPN2 on Saturday but doesn't even have a broadcast scheduled for a ranked matchup between the Hokies and Noles.

Maybe Radford is joining the SEC or Big10 and it is a quality loss? Or does it mean we are getting an invite to one of them soon?!?
Guessing some teams in the 20s lost badly or something.
Troy is also ranked for the mid-week.
Hokies up 3-1 in 7th on #20 Troy
Top of 8th still 3-1
Hokies go to bottom 8th having struck out 15 Troy hitters tonight.
That's great to hear. Pitching has been serviceable but not stellar it seems.
Top of 9th still 3-1
Hokies get two more strikeouts from Manning in the 9th to set a new season high with 17 Ks. Hokies get their 6th ranked win of the year over #20 Troy
Thanks for the updates. I really appreciate them.
How tf did we get ranked after the worst week we've had all season? And then follow it up with a top-20 win? Crazy pills
Baseball is now a Saturday Doubleheader starting at noon. Second game will start 45 minutes after first is over. Not ideal for the bullpen against the #9 team.
Thanks I thought I was losing my mind when the Friday game just disappeared, chalked it up to ESPN being worthless for college baseball. Pray tell, how is it you are so wise in the goings on of collegiate baseball?
I have @hokiesbaseball and @hokiessoftball on X as a regular check this time of year. Knew weather was questionable for Friday so was checking.
If you were planning on watching baseball or softball tomorrow on ESPN you can forget it. All broadcasts tomorrow have been cancelled in favor of the Spring Game. Hope no critical plays that could have been challenged go against our teams just so we have a couple more cameras at practice.
I don't get it. We were already scheduled to be on ACCNX for last night and today's games but for one, right? Why did that disappear? And our spring game wasn't to be televised at all, right? Oh well, there's always live stats.
Apparently ACC Network plans to air a post production version of the Spring Game at some point. Yes, there were one game each already scheduled for today but they were earlier than 3pm kickoff so possibly plan was to broadcast up until needing to move to football. Deciding to not broadcast at all now just shows how screwed up our Athletic department is.
Yup. Like games on espnx and cw, I'll just have to listen then.
Renfrow with 7 strikeouts through 3 innings. Scoreless in the 4th
1-1 through 4. Renfrow hit a guy with bases loaded

Still trail 3-1 in bottom of 8th
Bottom of the 9th still trail 3-1

Trail 9-1 now
Just not the weekend baseball needed
Welp 12-1 now in 9th
Down 4-1 in 7th. Just can't do anything with the bats this weekend
Lose 4-2 and get swept
We had our chances, just couldn't buy a hit when we really needed one. Hate to see a sweep, but hope to see another one here in a couple of hours.
