LEXINGTON, Va. – The VMI baseball team begins the last week of the 2022 regular season Tuesday with a home game against Old Dominion University at 5 p.m. in Gray-Minor Stadium. The game time was pushed back from 3 p.m. 

The two teams squared off on March 22 in Norfolk with the Monarchs, ranked #18 at the time, winning 6-2. VMI's Will Knight and Cole Garrett each went 3-4. Caden Plummer started the game and threw four solid innings, and six other pitchers combined to keep the ODU offense in check and VMI within striking distance.
