The Hokies and the Rams faced off in Game 1, and the Hokies dominated the offensive effort in that one. Rhode Island did manage to rattle starting pitcher freshman Brett Renfrow for an inning and a half but he recovered nicely and finished off his 5 frames with three big goose eggs and limited hits.
Game 2 followed baseball tradition in being a completely different game. What developed was a pitchers’ duel with Hokies’ #2 starter transfer Wyatt Parliament putting up some decent numbers to counter the fact that Rhode Island’s pitching was also keeping Tech from putting up an offensive effort to match Friday’s contest.
