NCAA Regional play for Virginia Tech is just a day away. For the first time since the 2022 season, the Hokies are in postseason ball beyond the ACC Tournament. Virginia Tech won four straight ACC series and rebounded from a 7-7 start to the season to qualify as a two-seed in the Los Angeles Regional, hosted by top overall seed UCLA.𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠, 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙞, 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙞 🌴#Hokies 🦃⚾️ pic.twitter.com/fc8YILmAEE— Virginia Tech Baseball (@HokiesBaseball) May 25, 2026ScoresFriday, May 29Game 1: No. 1 UCLA vs. Saint Mary's, 3 p.m. ET (ESPNU)Game 2: Virginia Tech vs. Cal Poly, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+)Saturday, May 30Game 3: Loser of Game 1 vs. Loser of Game 2Game 4: Winner of Game 1 vs. Winner of Game 2Sunday, May 31Game 5: Loser of Game 4 vs. Winner of Game 3Game 6: Winner of Game 4 vs. Winner of Game 5 (potential elimination game)Monday, June 1Game 7: Rematch of Game 6 (if necessary)BracketGame 1: No. 1 UCLA vs. Saint Mary'sGame 2: Virginia Tech vs. Cal Poly, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+)Game 3: Loser of Game 1 vs. Loser of Game 2Game 4: Winner of Game 1 vs. Winner of Game 2Game 5: Loser of Game 4 vs. Winner of Game 3Game 6: Winner of Game 4 vs. Winner of Game 5Game 7 (if necessary): Rematch of Game 6OpponentsNo. 1 UCLA (51-6)Cal Poly (36-22)Saint Mary's (34-25)Coverage LinksVirginia Tech Selected As No. 2 Seed in L.A.

However, Ethan Grim started in the second round of the ACC Tournament, while Stieg threw in the quarterfinal. If Stieg starts tomorrow, he will enter the game after a week off. Renfrow has not played for the Hokies since May 14, while Eisenreich last saw game action May 20. Madden Clement or Chase Swift could be options as well; Clement has functioned as Virginia Tech's main starting option for midweeks as of late. In terms of the bullpen, Aiden Robertson, Brendan Yagesh, Preston Crowl and others seem to be the main arms of note.Last Game's LineupVirginia Tech's lineup against No. 2 UNC - ACC Tournament Quarterfinal - Friday, May 22Sam Grube - Right FielderEthan Gibson - First BasemanHenry Cooke - CatcherEthan Ball - Second BasemanHudson Lutterman - Designated HitterPete Daniel - ShortstopNick Locurto - Left FielderSam Gates - Center FielderOwen Petrich - Third BasemanStarting Pitcher: RHP Griffin StiegPath To The College World SeriesNo. 1 overall seed UCLA likely awaits on the path for the Hokies if they defeat Cal Poly. Virginia Tech will presumably play the Bruins if it beats Cal Poly and Saint Mary's if it loses. The Hokies will almost certainly need to beat UCLA to advance from regional play. The winner of the Morgantown Regional — which would be No. 16 national seed West Virginia, if the regional proceeds as chalk — awaits whoever emerges from the Los Angeles Regional.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow

The Hokies are in their first regional since 2022.
Virginia Tech opens the LA Regional as No. 2 seed vs. Cal Poly (Friday, 8 p.m. ET), its first NCAA postseason since 2022 after recovering from a 7-7 start with four straight ACC series wins. Advancing to the College World Series almost certainly requires beating host and top overall seed UCLA (51-6) — the Hokies' near-certain path through the bracket.
