Virginia Wesleyan eliminated the Hornets from the ODAC Volleyball Tournament 3-1. And Roanoke defeated Women’s Tennis 5-4 in the ODAC quarterfinals.

The Washington Nationals’ offense came alive last night in an 8-2 win over the Jays. Trea Turner led the Nats with 4 hits, while Eric Fedde pitched 6 innings of one-run, two-hit baseball. The Nats are off today before starting a weekend series tomorrow with the Marlins on Sports Radio 1450.
The Yankees blanked the Orioles 7-0. The two teams wrap up that series today at 1:05.
