I mentioned Hawk has been getting dinged of late - giving up at least one shot each time out. Usually HRs. In this case he came in and gave up back to back doubles, raising VA Tech's lead to 5-3, still nobody out, still a man on second for them. But umps sent the runner back to first. So the Hokies will try to bunt him over. No luck on first try. 2-1 count. 2-2. 3-2. fouled one off. Ground out to third, moving the runner to second with one out. Strike out - two away, runner still on second.#9 hitter in their order and Hawk struck him out (at 3-2)
Last chance here trailing by 2 in the bottom of the 9th
