That's what prompted Scot Thomas to leave Tincher in. He started thinking, "Hmmm, we could actually win this thing." His original plan was to rotate everyone through, making sure everyone got to play, including the pitchers. But when VT went up 1-0 and Tincher was smoking 'em, Scot decided to try to win. Edit: VT scored in the second inning. "The Hokies scored their only run in the second inning off Jennie Finch, one of 12 players on the U.S. squad that won gold at the 2004 Athens Games." ** Edited by Will Stewart at 2/6/2026, 8:38:36 AM
