The day was nearly perfect on Sunday, except for a Hokie baseball team that was more than a bit tired after the 22 inning 2-game marathon on Saturday. The bright sunshine, clear sky, and crisp comfortable temperatures didn’t seem to really do a whole lot for either team’s sticks, though Binghamton generated just enough more offense over 9 to nip the Hokies.

Union Park will be here by next season, they promise, but English Field is looking pretty sad at the moment.

Virginia Tech Hokies vs Binghamton Bearcats Game 4:

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Binghamton (7-3)	0	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	2	6	0
(19) Virginia Tech (8-5)	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	1	6	1

Win: Nick Wegmann (2-1)  Loss: Nick Anderson (2-1)

There just isn’t much to report on this one. Nick Anderson pitched a respectable game, and did a good job but the two runs the two unearned runs (Nick’s ERA for the game was .000 which is great for his stat sheet) that crossed the plate were the difference in the game.

Oddly in that Nick Anderson Pitcher/DH sort of configuration, it was his RBI single in the bottom of the fourth that put the only Hokie run on the board for the game. Ryan Tufts crossed the plate and that, as they say, was that.

The interesting thing was the use of Tom Stoffel to close out the game in the top of the 9^th, and he did walk one, but registered a goose egg and put the Hokies I the position of having a possible walk off, but that didn’t happen. The offense Stoffel, Fragale, and Anderson all hit fly balls. Stoffel and Fragale’s almost made it out of the yard, but died in the breeze at the warning track. Nick Anderson’s pop fly ended the game.

Tuesday, Tech looks for an opportunity to stop the four game skid with Niagara University visiting for a one game touch and go. Hopefully a day off and some rest will get the Hokies back into winning form before the ACC road trip starts. There will be a stop in Williamsburg to have a game with the Tribe on Wednesday.

Let’s get back on the winning road! Go Hokies!!!
