GRANVILLE, W.Va. – Words may be insufficient to capture the level of pitcher Alek Manoah’s dominance against No. 15 Texas Tech at Mon County Ballpark on Friday night.
To find the proper context, Mountaineers coach Randy Mazey used a football analogy, comparing it to WVU quarterback Geno Smith’s 2012 performance against Baylor. Smith was 45 of 51 for 656 yards in that game.
“I can’t imagine he would pitch better,” Mazey said. “I remember the coaches saying about Geno, could you do better than that? The way Manoah pitched tonight, I don’t know how he could have done better.
