The West Virginia Black Bears smacked 16 hits to Batavia's three and trounced the Muckdogs, 12-2, in the short-season-A Black Bears' home opener on Sunday evening in Morgantown.
Will Craig, the Pirates' 2016 first-round pick, was the clear rock star on the roster, but, through three games, it's been Sandy Santos generating the most buzz. The toolsy center fielder went 4-for-4 with a walk and a sacrifice fly on Sunday, improving to 8-for-11 (.727) through three games.
Craig, meanwhile, didn't get the chance to hit much, getting hit by pitches three times in Sunday's game. The first two appeared to barely graze him, and the third hit him squarely on the left elbow pad.
