Mid 2nd, and Marciano has already struck out 5 batters. 0-0 heading into the Hokies' half of the inning.

Houghes doubles down the line on a hit and run play - 1-0 Hokies.

Followed up by a triple 2-0 Hokies

And another run scored on a FC. 3-0

Good guys up 6-0 now

I got distracted after the 2nd inning. I'm surprised he only had 7 Ks - he had racked-up 5 after 2 innings. Did he only pitch through the 3rd?

He needs to be nicknamed "Rocky".

Late to the thread here - Hokies up 4-2, betting in the bottom of the 4th.

three straight 2-out singles make it 5-2 before the end of the inning. Heading to the top of the 5th.

McCann goes yard to left - 6-2

i can't begin to imagine what its like on our turf to stretch a single and have to slide into 2nd going full speed... it must smell like burnt polyester

I would imagine the rubber pellets down in the turf help you slide like dirt would. But then afterwards you have a shoe or pant leg full of them, aka turf turds.

more two-out hitting - 7-2 hokies, end of 5.

seriously with the cameras - whoever is managing the camera behind the plate can't track the ball at all

Grady double down the line followed by another single makes it 8-2.

Edit: end of 6th

Lecurto sp? just watching pitches with the bases loaded and one out.

Hokies load the bases in the bottom of the 8th and come away with nothing. Still 8-2 heading into the final frame.

and here comes the walks and just the wrong time

which is immediately wiped-out by a double-play

Which is followed by more garbage bullpen pitching. 8-3 with bases loaded and another pitcher coming in.

Feels like the Hokies escaped with a five run win...geez

Hokies (eventually) close the door, win 8-3, take the weekend series 2-1. Announcers going on about how good this opponent is, and how this could be an early measuring stick for the Hokies.

Well let's hope the bullpen gets better against this measurement.

Back in action against JMU at 3pm on Wednesday
