M1, Stanford leads 1-0:

With a lead-off bunt single, an error and two sacrifice flies, Sam Grube made his way around the base paths to tie the game up at one a piece in the second inning.

M2, Stanford leads 2-1:

Stanford nearly had a lead-off double in the second, but Sam Gates was able to throw out Eric Jeon as he was going for the bag. After that, a pair of hits along with a walk was able to bring in a run for the Cardinal, allowing them to reclaim the lead.

E2, Stanford leads 2-1:

Stanford went to the bullpen, bringing in Kassius Thomas in the second. He walked two and struck out two before Sam Grube flew out to deep right field to end the frame. Virginia Tech worked four three-ball counts in the frame.

E3, Tied 2-2:

On a hit and a trio of walks, Virginia Tech brought in the tying run on a bases-loaded walk for Henry Cooke. Stanford then made a pitching change, looking to Cohen Gomez to get them out of the bases-loaded jam with one out, and he did so successfully, striking out Owen Petrich and grounding out Sam Gates to end the frame.

M4, Stanford leads 3-2:

A two-out home run from Luke Lavin brings in Stanford's go-ahead run in the fourth. Griffin Stieg managed the rest of the inning rather well. He's through four innings on 65 pitches.

E4, Stanford leads 3-2:

On two hits, the Hokies manage to put runners on the corners with just one out, but a strike out followed by a ground out keeps Virginia Tech off the board in the fourth inning.
