BLACKSBURG (WSLS 10 SPORTS) - It's the 9th annual Baseball Night in Blacksburg, an event held each year to raise money for the team. Family, friends and fans of the Hokies got together Saturday for a silent auction and banquet. All proceeds go to the Virginia Tech baseball program to help fund many aspects of the program. The guest speaker was former Hokie Wyatt Toregas who also played in the major and minor leagues. Toregas is currently the manager of the West Virginia Black Bears.
"Coming back I mean a lot of old memories, I just love it, a lot of my friends are here tonight that that were my teammates and we continue to talk so so it's a great weekend for me so far," said Toregas.
