Along with his service in the

Among the surprises in time

Sunday's race, which is quite an

been a year to forget for Toyota.

for this weekend's Final Four.

Let's start with Georgetown and

least one hit. Brandon Marsh came up
with a base knock thru the right side
to score Mike Mitchell for a 2-nothing

to left field. *CG final Virginia Thomas was a bright spot for the 11 Hokies going 3 for 4 on the day. But Virginia Tech UVA was too much as the Cavs won it 11 4 to 4.
