In honor of the Collegiate Times newspaper printing its final physical edition this week, I remembered some of the most pivotal moments in #Hokies sports history — from the lens of the CT stories that were written when they happened. @CollegiateTimes: collegiatetimes.com/sports/remembe…

It’s no longer enough to draft a franchise player in the NHL. Now you have to keep him. Here’s the story of how the Washington Capitals recruited Alex Ovechkin for 20 years and counting. espn.com/nhl/story/_/id…

NEWS: The NCAA Rules Subcommittee has approved the usage of ABS, sources tell @BaseballAmerica. It can be used in any game where the tech is available (includes Trackman). This still requires Baseball Oversight Committee approval but is expected to be implemented in 2027.

Brett Renfrow’s HS/travel coach, Mike Colangelo, first realized his pitcher was going places when he blew through three big-name prospects in the VA state finals as a sophomore. 5 years later, Renfrow goes 74th in the MLB Draft. Feature @TechSideline: virginiatech.sportswar.com/article/2026/0…

The increasing popularity of women’s sports has led to sustainable pro leagues, but every attempt in softball has failed. People involved in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League believe the new startup is different. In @DefectorMedia (gift link): defector.com/the-ausl-plans…

#Hokies RHP Brett Renfrow has been selected 74th overall in the MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins.

James Wood just made contact, stared at his own dugout about a second after the ball left his bat, and began his jog around the bases about one second later. This was a 6-1 deficit. After Wood's 446-foot grand slam, it is a 12-6 lead. My goodness.

The Yanks win and the MLB ballpark tour concludes. Nothing in the world like this sport. Goodnight from the Bronx.

@jxntate They did lol, the crowd pop rivaled the one for Grisham’s homer

@dylantefft please tell me they showed the goal

Shoutout to Yankee Stadium for playing Argentina v. Cape Verde during the weather delay. This WILL be factored into the final ballpark rankings.

Oh. #repbx

Last but not least - YANKEE STADIUM No better place to close the ballpark tour. Yankees/Twins in NYC. Let’s do it.

Alex Ovechkin, signed 1x$4.3M by WSH, is Alex Ovechkin

Stanley Cup champion and NHL all-time leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin will return for his 22nd season, becoming the longest-tenured athlete in DC sports history. #ALLCAPS | @Shift4 nhl.com/capitals/news/…

@dylantefft The great Nate scoring differential continues! Keep it up, D.

The Nationals pound the Red Sox 10-2. They have a positive run differential with me in attendance this season. #Natitude #DefeatingTheNarrative

Last night, TJ Rumfield faced Zach Brzykcy in the Marlins/Rockies game. It’s just the 5th time a @HokiesBaseball batter and pitcher have played on opposing teams in the same game. But it was the FIRST TIME a Hokie batter FACED a Hokie pitcher in an MLB game. #Hokies

@jxntate Watch out @Pirates

@dylantefft you are so back

FENWAY PARK — Ballpark 5/6 This is pretty sick. More Washington Nationals baseball at the MLB’s most iconic park. Missed a fun one yesterday but hoping some of that carries over to the series decider. Nats 2024 City Connect CJ Abrams jersey today (why is he not playing).

@alexwinn07 He was pretty terrible in every game I went to so I think you’re good

@dylantefft I’m not excited to see him.

PROGRESSIVE FIELD — Ballpark 4/6 Rangers @ Guardians this evening. No J-Ram or Corey Seager but still a really fun one-off matchup. James Wood Nationals City connect.
