HOKIES WIN IN BASEBALL IN THE RAIN
Virginia Tech scored five runs in the second inning and defeated Howard 7-2 Tuesday in a baseball game played in steady rain at English Field. The game was called after five innings.
Howard (1-18) scored when its first batter, Marvin Spinner, hit a home run to right field, and Spinner knocked in the Bison's other run in the fifth. Mike Reedy's two-run single and Josh Herman's RBI single highlighted the Hokies' second-inning scoring onslaught. Herman finished with three hits, and Reedy went 2-for-2 with a walk.
Tech (10-2) is scheduled to play host to Appalachian State today at 3 p.m.
