The Virginia Tech Hokies were defeated by the Florida Gators during game three of the NCAA Softball Championship Blacksburg Super Regional. The Hokies turned in their worst statistical game performance of the year, allowing a season high 12 runs and a season high 13 hits. Until today VT had not permitted a team to score double digits.
The Hokies looked sloppy on defense and offense. A multitude of miscues by the VT fielders opened the door for the drubbing by Florida. The largest was a collision between Hokies, during the first, that caused VT’s starting short stop, Kelsey Bennet, to sit out the rest of the game.
