Virginia Tech vs Florida Super Regional Preview
A Super Regional regular, Florida (46-16) takes a rare road trip for the NCAA Tournament’s second round to face Virginia Tech (45-8).
The Gators won their home regional to make the program’s ninth-straight Super Regional but only second one on the road ever. Virginia Tech, the No. 3 seed in the tournament, hasn’t ever beaten the Gators, but the two haven’t ever met in Blacksburg.
“Our crowds have been amazing here all year. The added stands added to our support,” Hokies head coach Pete D’Amour said via WFXR. “So we really appreciate it. They are heard. They help us more that we know. So we really appreciate the crowds this weekend,” said Virginia Tech senior catcher Mackenzie Lawter.”
Florida notably cruised through the Gainesville Regional, outscoring opponents 28-2. The Hokies lost once in the Blacksburg Regional and needed one-run wins twice to hold off elimination.
“Swinging the bats better than we did … [in the ACC tournament] two weeks ago,” D’Amour said via The Roanoke Times. “Pitching’s always been good. So I’m not any less confident based on what another team did. We’re just worried about our team, so we’re fine.”
Florida notably has speed on the base paths with a school record 129 stolen bases.
“We’ve got to limit how many times they get on with walks and hit by pitch,” D’Amour said The Roanoke Times. “If they do get on, they’re going to steal, so we’ve got to be ready to play catch.”
Virginia Tech will also have to deal with a deep Florida lineup. For instance, Katie Kistler, who bats seventh, batted .500 and drove in three runs at regionals.
“It’s been pretty fun to see how much the lineup is just stretching and stretching and stretching,” Florida head coach Tim Walton said via GatorSports.com. “The confidence is growing.”
Florida will need confidence at the plate going up against Hokies pitchers Keely Rochard and Emma Lemley. Rochard has an ERA of 1.70 and Lemley a 1.87 ERA.
“Keely doesn’t have to face Florida [batters] 16 times, and that’s a big deal,” D’Amour said via The Roanoke Times. “I don’t care how good a pitcher is, if you have to face somebody 13, 14, 15 times, the law of averages say they’re going to hit you every once in a while.”
“To have two options — and really four options — on our team helps me sleep a little better at night. I don’t sleep anyway, but it makes me a little bit more comfortable,” D’Amour added.
