After being swept in their opening series versus Tennessee, the Mountaineers bounced back, defeating Manhattan College 5-3 in their home opener.
Right-handed sophomore pitcher Will Sprinkle got the start and pitched lights out in his seven innings. Sprinkle had a no-hitter through six innings and ended the game with four strikeouts and an ERA of 2.77.
“I definitely got settled in probably by the third inning. I was a little rusty at first, but once I got settled in and got my tempo down, it felt good,” Sprinkle said.
The game was hitless for both teams until the Mountaineer bats got hot in the bottom of the fourth inning.
