Hokie ClubVirginia Tech pitcher Marc Zecchino kicked off the summer baseball league season on Thursday by tossing eight innings of one-hit ball for the Saratoga Phillies of the New York Collegiate Baseball League.
Zecchino’s performance helped the Phillies to a 4-1 defeat of Glens Falls, as he allowed just one hit and three walks over eight innings of work, while striking out 10 batters.
Zecchino pitched in 12 games, making five starts, during his redshirt freshman season for the Hokies this spring. He finished with a 2-3 record, which was highlighted by a complete-game effort in an 8-1 defeat of High Point on April 28.
