Touting Wake-VT match-up this weekend: “Virginia Tech is a very good club that has yet to lose a weekend series this year, though this will be its toughest test of the season to date. The Hokies expected to have a stellar group of position players heading into the season, and it’s no surprise to see them leading the ACC with a 1.059 team OPS.” “The question for Virginia Tech was a pitching staff that was lacking in any experienced starters, so it’s considerably more surprising to see the Hokies ranking fifth in the ACC with a 4.13 ERA, including a league-best 4.88 ERA in conference-only games. The emergence of sophomore Griffin Stieg (3-1, 3.60) plus freshman Brett Renfrow (4-1, 3.26) and Rutgers transfer Wyatt Parliament (3-1, 5.59) as a rock-solid weekend rotation has changed the entire outlook for the Hokies, who now find themselves chasing a home regional for the second time in three years, after entering the season outside the field of 64 projections.”
