Kelich’s first collegiate start yielded a victory over ACC member Virginia Tech. The rookie right-hander allowed only two runs (one earned) and five hits over 8.0 innings of winning baseball against the Hokies. He worked around three walks and struck out five batters as Bryant hung on for a 5-3 win. He threw 114 pitches to help the Bulldogs to their second win of the season while lowering his ERA to 2.92.
