BLACKSBURG – Down to their final out, the Virginia Tech Hokies used a two-RBI single by Stevie Mangrum to force extra innings against visiting Miami, but the Hurricanes were able to scratch a single run across the plate in the 12th and escaped English Field at Union Park with a 5-4 win on Friday night in the first game of a three-game ACC series.

Tech trailed 4-2 heading in to the home half of the ninth and quickly put the tying run on second after JD Mundy singled and moved to third on Nick Menken’s double.
