MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Trying to climb out of the Big 12 basement, West Virginia could only practice the power of positive thinking despite a 7-4 loss to Oklahoma State on Friday night.
West Virginia (15-16, 1-6) saw its four-game winning streak snapped despite bringing the tying run to the plate in each of the final three innings. Kyle Gray’s 4-for-5 night included a solo homer as the Mountaineers out-hit the Cowboys 11-8.
“On paper we lost tonight, but they had a few good hits when it was crunch time that dictated the final score,” Gray said.
