Two nights in Morgantown*

*Feel free to finish the sentence.

I spent the last two nights in Morgantown watching the West Virginia Black Bears Moonshiners play the State College Spikes. The team is going by the name “Moonshiners” specially just for this series because . . . West Virginia. The Black Bears lost on Wednesday, 12-3, in a game that seemed a lot worse than the final score. They bounced back to win, 7-4, on Thursday.

The Black Bears are, or at least should be, an important piece of the Pirates’ future because this is mostly where their 2018 draft is now.
