The Hokies (12-16) trailed 5-2 going to the bottom of the eighth, but they rallied for two runs in that inning and two in the ninth to snap a six-game winning streak by the Monarchs (28-4).
Kevin Barker led off the ninth with a double for Tech, but was thrown out at third on a bunt by Justin Dobson. Smith's triple drove in Dobson with the tying run, and Old Dominion walked the bases loaded intentionally to set up a potential double play. After Bryan King struck out, Denis McLaughlin's pitch sailed behind Hokies batter David Fitt.
Sean Hummel (4-2) picked up the victory with one-third of an inning's work, and McLaughlin (1-1) took the loss.
