MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Junior right-hander BJ Myers pitched seven innings of one-run ball and hung around long enough to see West Virginia’s offense erupt for a five-run seventh in a 5-3 victory over George Mason at the Caravelle Resort Tournament on Friday.
Second baseman Cole Austin’s bases-loaded triple was the big blow as the Mountaineers evened their record at 2-2.
Myers (1-1) allowed four hits and one walk while striking out seven. After allowing a first-inning homer to Michael Smith, he retired 10 in a row.
“BJ’s going to give us a chance to win every game,” West Virginia coach Randy Mazey said.
