Where the football team and the basketball team broke fans hearts, the baseball team appears to be headed in the opposite direction. In the top of the ninth inning, with Austin Davis and JJ Wetherholt at the corners, Randy Mazey got brazen and called for a suicide squeeze which gave the Mountaineers a 5-4 lead that they would hold onto for the 4th win of the season.
West Virginia got on the board in the first inning when McGwire Holbrook rapped a double down the left field line and freshman JJ Wetherholt scored from second. In the bottom of the first inning Austin Davis made the first of his highlight reel plays when he dove for a ball and took a hit away.
