STILLWATER — That one wasn’t pretty.
The Oklahoma State baseball team fell to West Virginia 11-1 on Friday in Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. WVU starting pitcher Alek Manoah threw eight shutout innings, and the real competition of the game was between WVU’s runs and Manoah’s strikeouts. That game finished 11-11.
So, Game 1 of the team’s three-game series goes to West Virginia with Game 2 starting at 2:05 p.m. Saturday. Here are five thoughts from Friday’s beatdown.
1. Tough First Inning
Tyler Doanes started Friday’s game with a line drive to right field.
It seemed a routine play for OSU right fielder Cade Cabbiness, but he ran in too far and the ball went over his outstretched glove.
