Coverage of the Virginia Tech Hokies baseball team.
Virginia Tech Hokie Baseball Season Ends
With bull pen pitching fading for the season, the Hokies’ only chance for more post season play was to win against BC for a chance to play Clemson. It didn’t happen. Hokies drop both games. 30 wins is nothing to dismiss for a young quad. Next Season! GO HOKIES!!!

Hokies Get a Miracle, Win One in Winston-Salem: Split the Series with #1 Wake 1-2, Make the ACC Tourney
Some weekends have been better than others for Hokie Baseball. This weekend the weather held, the effort was solid, and the Hokies avoided elimination from the ACC post season and closed the regular season with a win. GO HOKIES!!!!
The Weather Wins, Again, for Hokie Baseball
The weather in the mountain valleys of western Virginia was stormy and too variable to play the final game in Harrisonburg, against JMU. The cancellation is typical of Tech’s weather luck for the 2023 season and ends the non-conference season in what seems to be a big win for nature. ACC hopes hang on that one game. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies win 3 in Their Last Non-Conference Homestand
The Hokies had to break out the hustle on Wednesday. The Hammers and Pitching dominated on Saturday. Mother Nature dominated on Tuesday and Sunday, though. Hokies go 3 of 5 with the thunder and the clock winning the first and final games. GO HOKIES!!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Take on the UNC Tar Heels in a Critical ACC Series: Lose the Series 1-2
The weather is a factor, again, in a major ACC series for the Baseball Hokies. Friday’s game was played early to get it in between rainstorms, and Tech won in a shutout. Double headers have not been kind to the Hokies this season, and without Jack Hurley their offense is misfiring, but pitching is the big headache; it’s brutally inconsistent. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Win “Weird” in the Strangest Game of the Season over JMU: 7-5
There are lots of ways to win or lose a baseball game, and Tuesday night’s non-conference contest with the James Madison Dukes was best described as "winning weird". Hokies come from a behind they shouldn’t have been to win by two runs on a 4 run inning on a single hit. GO HOKIES!!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Win FSU Series 2 - 1 but Break Even on the Week
It was a break-even week for the overall record, and a road trip that was definitely an up and down ride. Hokies get thumped by Radford in Radford, and then travel to Tallahassee to win an ACC series against the Seminoles. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Sweeps Georgia Tech for the First Time: 3-0
The Hokies ACC fortunes have really turned around of late. The Hokies played three solid but very different games against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, winning each one and closing in on a .500 ACC record. Lots of hammers out for the final two games. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Battle of the Techs Game 1 vs the Yellow Jackets and Win: 10-7
It’s a big weekend in Blacksburg. It’s open House, the run and walk for Remembrance, and baseball at Atlantic Union Bank Park. The Yellow Jackets of the other ACC Tech (Georgia Tech) are in Blacksburg, and the Hokies need to get some momentum back. GO HOKIES!!!
It was a Rough Tuesday on the Diamonds for Hokie Baseball and Softball: 7-3 and 11-0 Losses
It was such a beautiful evening for baseball under the lights in Blacksburg. Too bad that it was a pleasant visit for Liberty and Tennessee. The Hokies drop both Tuesday night games on the diamonds with issues everywhere. Tee it up and go again this weekend. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies and Duke Blue Devils Split a Rain Shortened Series: 1-1 (in a DH)
The weather in the Durham area was atrocious on Friday and Saturday. Bad enough that Duke and Tech agreed to cancel the opening game that kept moving, and just play a doubleheader on Easter Sunday. It was as most doubleheaders are, a split. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Faces Off Against the #5 Virginia Cavaliers Takes Series 2-1
Not only is this a short end of the stick grudge match, but the Hokies are desperate for some ACC wins and some quality balance this season. The Hokies win a series against an ACC team, yes, but also it’s the Hoos! GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokie Baseball Struggling in ACC Competition but Still Winning in Non-Conference Play
It has certainly been a tough season for the Hokies in the ACC this year. The team is extremely young after being eviscerated by the MLB Draft and graduations and learning to win close games is still a challenge. No worries, Coach Szefc is an excellent teacher. GO HOKIES!!!
It was a Tough Two Weekends for Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball: 1-5 in the ACC
The Hokies play at home against VMI after a really brutal two weekends and a postponed game at ETSU. Hokies drop a split series against Boston College, 1-2, and then get swept in Coral Gables against Miami. Birds need to get their feet back underneath before calling on Pitt. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Drops Their ACC Opening Series with Boston College: 1-2
It started out great, with an emphatic win on Friday, but bad weather and a double header on Saturday, March 11th combined with short rest from the 2 mid-week games flamed out the Hokies bats and cooled off their pitching. Miami is up next in Coral Gables. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Sweeps Mid-Week Series with UMass Lowell: 2-0
The Lowell campus of the University of Massachusetts came to Blacksburg and played an unusual two-game series against the Hokies. They went home empty-handed. Hokies sweep and go huge in game 1. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Completes a Sweep of Week 3: 4 Wins and 0 Losses
The baseball team has put away the first three weeks of the 2023 season with a convincing sweep of the two teams faced. Radford gets sent back home to wait for revenge, and Charlotte really challenges hard for the first 1 1⁄2 games. GO HOKIES!!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Walks Away with a 3-1 Week 2 Record
Baseball finally opened at English Field on Tuesday February 21st, with an early 1:30 start and a huge win. Then Bryant University came visit for an opening weekend in Blacksburg. Tech comes away with a 3-1 W/L record and some interesting games to say the least. GO HOKIES!!!
Virgina Tech Hokies Baseball Starts Off with a Series Win over Charleston: 2-1
It wasn’t a glorious start for game one, but game 2 and three were blowouts. Tech starts the 2023 season with a bit of a worrisome whiff fest but finishes strong. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball 2023 Roster Review
We looked at the early schedule, now we take a look at exactly who is going to be taking the field for those games. The MLB (Minor League Baseball... face it) draft took a chunk out of last year’s roster, but there are lots of returners, too. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Baseball Season Starts Next Week: Time for the Season and Roster Reviews

Virginia Tech Hokies Baseball Season Ends but Something New Brews
Well, the hopes were high, and the momentum looked like it had swung in the Hokies’ direction, but the great sine curve of baseball caught them, and Tech’s magic 2022 baseball season ended as the offense and pitching could find no real traction. No laments, here. It was an amazing year for Hokie Baseball! It looks like more to come, too. GO HOKIES!!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Defeat the Oklahoma Sooners to Force an All or Nothing Game 3
At the close of the game on Friday, there was a glimmer of hope. Late in the game the Hokies began to find their offensive confidence and the place that they stashed their hammers. This was a must win game. And the Hammerin’ Hokies made it known why they have that nickname. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Drop the First Game of the Super Regionals to the Sooners: 5-4
It wasn’t a great way to start the big series against Oklahoma. The starting pitcher pulled, and the hammers were lost somewhere in the clubhouse. The Hokies nearly pull it out, but trail the series 0-1 with two must win games ahead. GO HOKIES!!!

The Hokies take on Oklahoma for a chance to go to the College World Series.
Virginia Tech Hokies Win the Their NCAA Regional Tournament to Advance to the Supers
As predicted, it wasn’t a total runaway like Saturday’s contest. Columbia was playing their second game of the day and had a few hidden resources that kept the Hammerin’ down to a minimum, but there were just enough. The Hokies still put up 7 and put away the Lions. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Defeat the Columbia Lions to Advance to the Regional Championship Game
If you didn’t see it you wouldn’t believe it. I don’t even think that Coach Szefc quite believes it. The Hokies, trailing 2-1 in the top of the 4th do something nearly unthinkable in baseball to bury the Lions and pave the way for this evening’s regional NCAA Baseball Championship game. GO HOKIES!!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Defeat Wright State Raiders to Advance One Bracket Level
The Blacksburg Regional NCAA Baseball Tournament got a rip-roaring start for the Hokies, but neither team was pitching well, so the Hokie Hammers were more like a mix of tools from the box. Hokies did a bit of everything and won a very "Up" game - 15-9. Next up Columbia. Go Hokies!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies are the #4 Seed Nationally, and the Opponents are Set
The Hokies made an impression in 2022. They are the #4 seed in the Regionals and hosting those games in Blacksburg. It’s going to be an interesting competition. GO HOKIES!!!
