Jenna and Eric are also joined by Virginia Tech two-way player Emma Mazzarone. They chat about leadership and being the "next one up" after Emma Lemley's graduation, what makes the Hokies so special on the road, the daily grind in the bullpen, mental strength, and expectations for the team this season. Emma also shares that she originally committed to VA Tech as a hitter, and how a pitching performance in a recruiting showcase led to Head Coach Pete D'Amour asking her to throw. Plus, how Emma the Hitter would fare in an at bat against Emma the Pitcher.
