The crowd was AWESOME!!!! Just my two cents on venue

I don't think VT has played in the Richmond area in a long time so there wasn't necessarily a venue that we had previously used. This was the final day of the Starz Gold travel ball tournament and they are an excellent travel ball organization. Many of their alum have played at VT (Emma Lemley and Kylie Aldridge, for example). There were also a number of quality travel ball teams playing in the tournament, so it was an excellent opportunity to showcase VT - which can certainly pay big dividends down the road. That particular field apparently doubles as a baseball field - thus the double fence. Those are just thoughts off the top of my head.
