Virginia Tech baseball suffers third straight frustrating ACC weekend
For the third straight weekend, the Virginia Tech baseball team dropped a key ACC series and for the second time in three weeks, they dropped it at home in Blacksburg.
Two weeks ago, the Hokies were swept at home by Wake Forest, then last weekend, after beating Georgia Tech in Game 1 of their three-game series in Atlanta, Virginia Tech dropped the final two games, being outscored 30-7 in the two games. This past weekend against seventh-ranked Duke, the 23rd Hokies again suffered a weekend series loss.
Duke sandwiched two wins around a Saturday night Virginia Tech extra inning win to take two out of three with a 13-10 win Sunday in Game 3.
Virginia Tech’s pitching has been good this season, but its hit a major bump in the road the last three weeks against The Demon Deacons, Yellow Jackets and Blue Devils. Wake Forest and Duke are Top 25 teams and it should not come as a surprise (maybe a disappointment) that they lost five of the six games, but losing three to Georgia Tech was a disappointment.
In the Hokies’ one win Saturday night, Brett Renfrow continued his strong season on the mound, working six innings allowing four hits, one run, walking one, and striking out four. The Virginia Tech bullpen was strong as David Shoemaker, Jacob Stretch, and Grant Manning combined to work five hitless and scoreless innings and combined for eight strikeouts. The Hokies needed that trio to come up big as Duke’s bullpen was also good until the bottom of the 11th.
Christian Martin stepped up to the plate with runners on the corners with two outs. His ground ball to shortstop was fielded, but the throw was not handled at first and was dropped, allowing the winning run to score for the 2-1 win.

Local EMS provider receives 2024 Governor of Virginia’s Award for Outstanding EMS Prehospital Educator
PULASKI COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) – Years of dedication, thousands of hours of service and countless students taught… The hard work paid off as an EMS provider serving our hometowns was awarded the 2024 Governor of Virginia’s Award for Outstanding EMS Prehospital Educator.
“I really didn’t believe it when they told me I won,” said Michael Garnett.
Michael Garnett has worked in EMS for 35 years in the Roanoke and New River Valleys with 22 years as an EMS educator.
“The education is being able to derive our providers the competence and confidence that they need to adequately work with patients,” explained Garnett.
The award recognizes Garnett as an educator who “exemplifies outstanding teaching and leadership qualities” and “consistently demonstrates excellence and a dedication to the education of prehospital EMS providers.” He was invited to a ceremony in the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond where Governor Glenn Youngkin gave him the award.
“It was really an honor because I never expected to be in the Governor’s Mansion and I never expected to actually win the award itself. But I have to say that it was definitely a lifetime event,” said Garnett.
Garnett’s colleagues say only 2% of EMS have an educator status.
“It’s a very small number of people putting in the time and effort and have the dedication to even become an educator, and to reach the level of excellence that Mike has done” said Nathaniel Davis, the Administrative Captain for Pulaski County Public Safety.
And the county is honored to celebrate on of their own. Johnathan Sweet, the County Administrator for Pulaski County, said “it’s just it’s confirmation that some of the best and the brightest come from Southwestern Virginia. So appropriate that some of the best and the brightest are preparing future best and brightest.”
Garnett looks forward to continuing his work in the industry.
“It actually gives me incentive to keep going forward and to be able to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. “Just being able to keep going forward with the progression of EMS education and adding my little bit of a footprint to what these providers learn and what they’re able to do.”

A Virginia company’s job listing inviting only White people and the U.S.-born to apply for a position didn’t just raise eyebrows online — it also caught the attention of the U.S. government.
Arthur Grand Technologies’ job advertisement last year restricted eligible candidates to “only US Born Citizens [white]” and those living within 60 miles of Dallas, Texas, noted the U.S. Department of Justice, which determined that the Ashburn, Va.-based company’s discriminatory listing violated the Immigration and Nationality Act.
A recruiter working for an Arthur Grand subsidiary in India posted the ad on job site Indeed in March and April of 2023 for a business analyst position with the company’s sales and insurance claims team. The ad was widely circulated on social media and generated multiple news stories.
“It is shameful that in the 21st century, we continue to see employers using ‘whites only’ and ‘only US born’ job postings to lock out otherwise eligible job candidates of color,” Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general with the department’s civil rights division, said in a statement. “I share the public’s outrage at Arthur Grand’s appalling and discriminatory ban on job candidates based on citizenship status, national origin, color and race.”
Arthur Grand did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The company earlier denied approving the ad and said it had been placed by a disgruntled worker looking to embarrass the company, according to a settlement with the Justice Department.
The company will pay a civil penalty of $7,500 under the agreement to resolve the matter. It also agreed to pay $31,000 to compensate those who filed complaints with the Department of Labor.
