Hokie Fall World Series pushed back a day

Due to rainy weather and sloppy field conditions, the Virginia Tech baseball team has pushed its opening game of the Hokie Fall World Series to Saturday. Originally set to take place Friday through Sunday, the three-game set will now run Saturday through Monday. Saturday's game begins at 6 p.m., Sunday's contest starts at 4 p.m., and Monday's finale gets underway at 6 p.m.

The intrasquad affair will pit Team Orange vs. Team White, and the series is not abest-of-three event – all three games will be played. Should one teamwin the first two contests, the 0-2 team can still claim the series ifit outscores the 2-0 team in game three by more than the combineddeficit that it lost by in the first two games.

Fans are welcometo come check out any of the three games, and admission is free. Statsand recaps will be available on the baseball homepage after the games.
