AWESOME Facebook Post from Kylie

"Thank you Virginia Tech Softball for the love and support over the past four years. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to play here, a place that gave me room to fail, grow, and become who I am today. Even while facing injury, God stayed faithful every step of the way. Thank you to my parents for being my constant support system, and to my coaches and teammates for pushing me, believing in me, and making these years so special. Forever grateful for this place and the people who made it feel like home." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most people don't know that Kylie played the last two seasons with a Lisfranc fracture in her foot and she was usually wearing a boot when she was not playing. She also suffered two concussions. But she never complained. She is one tough young lady, and we are so blessed that she's a Hokie!!!! She will continue to do great things in the game of life! ** Edited by VTChip at 5/18/2026, 5:35:31 PM

Yes. I didn't mention the boot when people asked if everyone was healthy
VAHokie89 05/18/26 06:36 PM ET
Aye. Lisfranc fracture in her foot explains why her time behind the plate
BackInTheBurg 05/18/26 05:42 PM ET
Wasn't that the same foot injury Kevin Jones suffered after getting drafted
HokieAvalanche 05/19/26 12:33 AM ET
Yes. He suffered a fraction and dislocation
VAHokie89 05/19/26 09:10 AM ET
She did get to put on the "tools of ignorance" one last time last weekend.**
nvpbrown 05/18/26 11:41 PM ET
That and she had 3 concussions while playing the catching position
RJHokie 05/18/26 10:25 PM ET
Yep....I've pondered that one aloud many times on these message boards.**
vatechcowpatty 05/18/26 06:19 PM ET
And her dad had an awesome one as well
VTChip 05/18/26 05:34 PM ET
Great advice: “Softball doesn’t define you”
Hockeydad 05/19/26 10:48 AM ET
I hope her dad reads this board so he can understand how much
Blueboy 05/19/26 12:21 AM ET
Wow, and with all this, she had an amazing season. I started calling her

We can go back to Nikki Giovanni: "We are Virginia Tech!"
TomTurkey 05/18/26 05:44 PM ET
Honor to know her and her parents. Last home run was a Grand Slam, right?**
laphroaig 05/18/26 05:31 PM ET
Yes, and Poppin' It! benefited from the double indemnity.
