Marshall miscue opens door to Mountaineers in 10 innings, 5-4

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — After shortstop Jimmy Galusky made two game-saving defensive plays in the bottom of the ninth, West Virginia scored the go-ahead run on a Marshall error in the 10th to salvage a 5-4 win Tuesday night at Appalachian Power Park.

The Mountaineers (15-11) survived despite being outhit 13-5.

“A great win for us,” West Virginia coach Randy Mazey said. “This is the first time we’ve beaten Marshall down here since I’ve been here. They play with so much confidence against us, trying to knock us off. It’s a big game for both teams.
