BLACKSBURG – Looking ahead to a full, fun home weekend of Virginia Tech baseball in the New River Valley, head coach John Szefc is excited to welcome everyone to share in the program at events surrounding the Hokies' annual intrasquad Fall World Series, taking place from Friday, Oct. 27, to Sunday, Oct. 29.
Virginia Tech will split its roster into two sides, Maroon and Orange, during its three-game fall finale at English Field at Atlantic Union Bank Park. First pitch times are currently scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, 4 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Entry to English Field is free to all fans while ballpark seating is general admission.
Throughout the series, fans are encouraged to participate in the Hokies' food drive in support of Micah's Backpack, a local volunteer organization that strives to provide direct food assistance to Blacksburg students who are experiencing food insecurity. All food and/or donations are accepted, although preferred food items include canned pasta, canned soup, canned beanie weenies, canned tuna, canned chicken, individual mac and cheese cups, peanut butter, 100% juice boxes, milk boxes, individual oatmeal, canned veggies, fruit cups (in juice or lite syrup) and individual wrapped snacks.
On Friday, Virginia Tech will host its inaugural Fall Golf Outing at Auburn Hills Golf Club in nearby Riner. Guests may learn more information by clicking here.
Additionally, at the conclusion of Sunday's Fall World Series action, members of the Virginia Tech baseball team will host a free, one-hour youth clinic from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The Hokies return to English Field after pocketing two seven-inning wins against Georgetown on Oct. 13 (scores of 6-3 and 16-0) and playing to the 8-6, nine-inning defeat against Tennessee on Oct. 22. Sam Tackett, Garrett Michel and Chris Cannizzaro provided the home run swings for the "Hammerin' Hokies" yesterday against the Volunteers, who had advanced to the 2023 Men's College World Series in Omaha.
