THE SHORT STORY: VCU struggled to get runs across following a leadoff home run by freshman catcher Jacob Lee, falling in its sixth straight game against Virginia Tech Tuesday in Blacksburg.
 
LEADING OFF:

• Trent Adelman extended his hitting streak to six games, tying the team's high on the season
• Jacob Lee extended his reached-base streak into the double digits, getting on in the Rams' last 10 consecutive contests
• Lee also smacked his fifth home run and 22^nd hit of his freshman campaign
• Nick Flores, freshman second baseman, had his fifth-multi hit game of the year and second in the last three games
• Seth Werchan made an incredible diving save in center field and tallied a hit and a stolen base

 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Batting leadoff and trailing 1-2 in the count, Lee smashed a home run to left field to open the game for VCU
• Virginia Tech scored 13 runs over the next five innings while holding the Rams to just four more hits until Adelman drove in the Rams' second run with a single to right field in the top of the sixth inning
• Giving VCU a fighting chance to break out of its run-rule deficit, Michael Walsh tossed a scoreless frame in the bottom of the sixth, as Casey Kleinman made a diving stop to turn two and end the inning
• The Rams went down in order in the final inning, falling to VT, 13-2

 
UP NEXT:
VCU continues its road trip into the weekend, visiting Davidson, N.C., to take on the Wildcats for the first Atlantic 10 away weekend of the season on Friday-Sunday, March 21-23.
