The Weather Wins, Again, for Hokie Baseball
The weather in the mountain valleys of western Virginia was stormy and too variable to play the final game in Harrisonburg, against JMU.

The weather is a factor, again, in a major ACC series for the Baseball Hokies. Friday’s game was played early to get it in between rainstorms, and Tech won in a shutout.
