Here's the current ACC Hitting Stats
Its interesting that VT and UNC batting averages are separated by only .001 and there is only one run difference in runs scored (UNC has played one fewer games)

I'm more shocked UNC has hit 11 more HR's

Check out their OOC schedule + home field is a launching pad.

Yep. Home field fence is 200’ from home plate all around.

Short home fence is probably one reason.

Here are the current ACC Pitching Stats
VT leads the conference in ERA, strikeouts, and fewest home runs allowed.

UNC pitching has been hit hard. But they do give up the fewest walks.
So, a week after needing to have taken more pitches in many at bats, we now need to go back to swinging early. It should come more naturally, at least. GT pitching, at least statistically, is/was better than I thought, and remember they didn’t really improve their ERA against us (gave up 19 runs in 20 innings, an ERA of nearly 7).

The Dad of one the pitchers my daughter coached bragged to me that . .
. . . "last season my daughter was in the top 10 in fewest BB allowed". After seeing her pitch I saw why. She essentially threw batting practice. UNC's staff has .293 BA against so it's sort of the same thing :)

Fewest HR allowed but some of the most untimely in ACC Ls
Bad luck by the averages honestly

Crossed my mind, also, when I read that
