Quick Hitters

The Keydets host Buffalo and Maryland - Eastern Shore for a three-team, three-day round-robin tournament for the second consecutive year, and this time, they do so with a great deal of momentum. VMI has won five straight games, the last of which was a 3-2 win over #1 Virginia at Davenport Field to give the Keydets their first five-game winning streak since a nine-game run in April of 2010. It was VMI's first win over UVA in Charlottesville since 1990.

The first Keydet game of this weekend's tournament will see right-hander Reed Garrett get the ball for the first time since his no-hitter a week ago against Lafayette. Garrett has earned multiple national awards over the past seven days, including becoming only the second Keydet to ever win NCBWA Pitcher of the Week honors.

VMI will be the home team for all of its games over these three days, while UMES will be the home team against Buffalo Friday. The teams will then reverse roles in their second game of the weekend, scheduled for Sunday at 12:30.
