Fagan led the way offensively for the Hokies, going 2-for-3 in the ballgame with a home run and an RBI. Junior Addy Greene put together a solid performance at the plate as well, going 1-for-3 with a double. Senior Jayme Bailey also helped out, going 1-for-3 for Virginia Tech with an RBI.

Trailing 8-0, the Hokies first put runs on the board in the fourth inning. Virginia Tech scored twice, with one run coming across on Baileyโ€™s single.

The Bulldogs expanded their lead to 12-2 before the Hokies  picked up a run on Faganโ€™s one-out solo home run off of senior Shelby Walters, marking the Hokies 100th home run of the season. Georgia then recorded the final out to take the 12-3 win.

โ€œI said this last year at the end of the yearโ€”the NCAA Tournament is the expectation for us,โ€ said Virginia Tech head coach Pete Dโ€™Amour. โ€œFor me personally, being a two seed is not an expectation. I want to be a one seed. So weโ€™ll find out how we get back there and get on track in August.โ€
