For a lot of parents, 18 years go by in the blink of an eye as they watch their babies grow into adults. For Letitie Clark, that was true. However, the last 18 years have been spent in mourning and advocacy for her son, Ryan “Stack” Clark, one of the victims of the April 16 shooting. “It is coming up on the 18-year anniversary since it happened, and when someone passes, it seems like things get a little quieter each year. It gets a little less,” Letitie said.

A day after dropping its series opener to Notre Dame, Virginia Tech baseball answered with a resounding 6-1 victory to knot the series at one on Saturday. Though the offense remained largely stagnant, stellar pitching saved the day for the Hokies (21-10, 8-6 ACC). Freshman Jake Marciano (4-0) went on a career-high nine-strikeout run over 6 2/3 innings, tossing a one-run ballgame, allowing no earned runs and throwing 76 strikes on 116 pitches.

For the first time since 2019, Virginia Tech lacrosse has lost five straight games. The Hokies (7-7, 2-5 ACC) dropped their Saturday matinee to No. 15 Clemson, 18-6, on a day where costly penalties and an anemic offense were too much to overcome. From the jump, the Tigers (11-4, 5-2 ACC) controlled the game. Clemson midfielder Natalie Shurtleff was the first on the board, notching a score 45 seconds in. Just over a minute later, attacker Regan Byrne would join her.
