Baseball Recap: Blacksburg Extends Road Winning Streak to Six

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Blacksburg). They put the hurt on the Patrick Henry Patriots with a sharp 10-1 victory on Friday. The Bruins not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since May 7, 2024.

Trick Sams tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits.

On the hitting side, Reese Tysor and Brice Abbott did most of the damage at the plate: Tysor scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4, while Abbott went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base.
