The Mountaineers got off to a fast start after their disappointing loss on Opening Day, striking twice in the top of the 1st inning against Panthers starting pitcher Jake Rogers (0-1). After leadoff man Tyler Doanes was hit by a pitch, consecutive walks to Darius Hill and Marques Inman loaded the bases and after Rogers walked catcher Paul McIntosh, Doanes was able to stroll across home plate for WVU’s first run.
