RENO, Nev. – In its first-ever games in the state of Nevada, the Virginia Tech baseball team split a doubleheader against the host Wolf Pack, holding on to win the first game 8-7, but suffered a 7-4 setback in the nightcap on Friday afternoon in nonconference action at Peccole Park.
The win gave the Hokies their first 5-0 start since the 1993 season and their first four-game road winning streak to start the season since the 2009 season. They ended the day 5-1, while Nevada is now 2-4.
In the first game, Tech used a two-out, four-run rally in the fifth frame, highlighted by Tom Stoffel’s two-RBI single, to take a 6-2 lead.
