BACKYARD BRAWL
The West Virginia baseball team won this season’s second iteration of the Backyard Brawl against Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Mountaineers needed extra innings to defeat the Panthers, coming away with a 3-2 win after 11 innings of play. WVU had seven hits and 10 steals, which adds to their record-breaking number of stolen bases this season.
The Mountaineers return to action this weekend when they travel to Lubbock for a series against #8 Texas Tech.
