No. 11 Virginia Tech Softball Falls to Pitt, Ends 17-Game Streak

The No. 11 Virginia Tech softball team saw its 17-game winning streak snapped in a dramatic 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers. Pitcher Emma Lemley struggled, allowing three home runs and six runs over three innings, which helped Pitt overcome an early deficit and seize the lead. Key home runs by Pitt's Camryn Murphy, Ana Hernandez, and KK Esparza flipped a Hokies lead into a deficit. Despite late home runs from Cori McMillan and Jordan Lynch, Virginia Tech's comeback bid fell short. The defeat was the Hokies' first since March 9, ending a dominant run and highlighting areas for improvement as they continue ACC play.
