Virginia Tech’s Wild Ride to ACC Quarterfinals

UNC Baseball heads into the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals against Virginia Tech — a team they’ve never faced this season. The Hokies earned their spot with a jaw-dropping 17-run demolition of Notre Dame, their highest-scoring game of the year. While Virginia Tech’s season has been a rollercoaster — shaky early, then a dominant second half — they’ve turned it on lately, winning four straight series with timely hitting and a deep bullpen. Freshman Ethan Ball lit up the scoreboard with two homers and six RBIs, while Hudson Lutterman drove in four. Their offense isn’t flashy, but it’s lethal when it matters, and their pitching, though prone to walks, has tightened up recently. This gritty, unheralded team is a serious threat — and UNC has no playbook for them. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
