The third time was the charm for Virginia Tech's Matt Reynolds on Tuesday in Blacksburg.
Reynolds was retired twice with the bases loaded in the first game against Howard (2-9), which the Hokies lost 2-1 in seven innings.
In the nightcap, Reynolds, a former William Byrd High School star, made amends by hitting a grand slam and leading Tech (3-2) to a 13-4 victory. Reynolds had three hits and five RBI in the second game.
The Hokies got solo home runs from freshman Chad Foutz (Franklin County) and senior David Fitt, and a two-run homer from senior Josh Herman (William Byrd) in the second game.
Steve Schulze pitched four scoreless innings to get the victory. He gave up two hits and struck out four.
Howard's victory in the first game was just the Bison's fifth in 60 games against Tech. Starting pitcher Darrell Scott (1-2) got the victory for Howard, giving up three hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings.
