6 straight losses: Sliding Mountaineers battered by Virginia Tech, 13-3

Virginia Tech center fielder Saige Jenco had a career-high six RBIs—more runs than West Virginia has scored in a game since April 18—as the streaking Hokies rolled to a 13-3 nonconference baseball win Tuesday in Blacksburg, Va.

West Virginia (24-23), which has dropped six straight and 11 of its last 14, played without coach Randy Mazey, who’s serving a two-game suspension for “prolonged lingering” after being ejected in Sunday’s loss to TCU.

Assistant Derek Matlock served as acting head coach in Mazey’s absence.

Joe Freiday, Jr., enjoyed a career-best three-hit game with a pair of doubles and scored four runs for the Hokies (24-22), winners of seven consecutive games.
