Runnin' Bulldogs Fall to No. 13 Hokies Wednesday Night
March 08, 2023 | Softball
Â
Virginia Tech used a lead-off homerun to take a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the first.
Â
The Runnin' Bulldogs punched back, scoring a run of their own in the first. Kasey Fava walked, and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Adrienne Visintine then doubled down the left field line to score Fava from second and even the scoring.
Â
Both teams went three up, three down in the second, before the Hokies opened things up in the third. They scored five runs and took the lead 6-1.
Â
Gardner-Webb responded again in the bottom of the inning. Emily Garcia and Fava both singled, and then Garcia scored from an error. Andrea Lyon came up and hit a ball to the shortstop which allowed Fava to score and bring the 'dogs within three.
Â
Virginia Tech would go on to add eight runs and take the standalone game in Boiling Springs Wednesday.
Â
Fava, Visintine, Garcia, and Kayleigh Nicholson all registered hits. Nicholson, Garcia, and Fava all hit singles, and Visintine doubled with an RBI.
Â
Gardner-Webb pitched all three of its freshmen with Alli Stidham starting, Kalyn Kyle taking over in the fourth, and Clara Wyatt throwing the final five outs.
Â
The Runnin' Bulldogs will stay home and host North Carolina Central in a three-game series beginning on Saturday, March 11. They will play a doubleheader with the first pitch being at 1:00 P.M. Saturday, before they wrap up the series Sunday at noon.
