Mountaineers Swept by Bears to Start Big XII Play

West Virginia (13-10) (0-3) had this game in the bag, well, until they didn’t. A furious rally in the final two innings gave the Baylor Bears (16-6) (3-0) a 3-game sweep over the Mountaineers to start Big XII play.

RBI’s

The Bears won the 8-inning affair (a mutually agreed upon shortened game prior to the start due to the travel required of the Mountaineers after the game ended) after scoring 9 runs in the final two innings.

Kade Strowd (2-2, 4.00) was coasting through this start after 6 innings, as he had allowed just 1 run and seemed poised to earn his 3rd win of the season.
