I would start Avery today. Jags are a light hitting team. She’ll do well.

Further build up her confidence and save Mazz + Bre (if available) for LSU. With any luck, VT wins in 5 innings but I won’t count on that. Feels like a 4-1 type of game to me given how good their pitcher is. Assuming we beat the Jags, that Game 1 vs. LSU obviously becomes enormous. We need to think about what happens if Bree is unavailable or not effective due to injury. Who is our #3 pitcher in that case after Mazz and Avery? Is it Sophie? Seems like it based on her getting some action at Syracuse. We haven’t seen Fisher or Grizzard in months but they are at least dressing out for every game.

I wonder if Avery might get the start. Maybe plan to start Mazz tomorrow,

Haven't had a chance to catch up ... do we know that Bree is healthy?
Will StewartAdmin 05/15/26 10:14 AM ET
I believe Bree is fine. It’s a problem she has had back to travel ball

True. Hoping she's okay for her sake. We know she wants to pitch.**

I'd start Bree
YorkHokie 05/15/26 09:30 AM ET
I’d actually consider starting Layton (more)
Chesapeake_Hokie 05/15/26 08:49 AM ET
I'd go with Layton regardless. Odds are you are going to have to beat . .

A dissenting opinion

So you believe the team has been downplaying or covering up Bree's injury?**
Atlee Hokie 05/15/26 09:36 AM ET
yes. Talked with her father in C-ville.
Chesapeake_Hokie 05/15/26 10:11 AM ET
I know she wasn’t able to go on Saturday vs FSU. Was sitting in bleachers
hokiepro 05/15/26 09:57 AM ET
I’d go with Bree
hokiepro 05/15/26 08:33 AM ET
I expect Bree to start today. **
