Wiley Mazey Crazy Like a Fox
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - When you can open the conference tournament with a freshman on the mound sporting a five-plus earned run average - and you can get the performance that Isaiah Kearns put forth this morning - I want some of whatever it is Randy Mazey is eating these days.
In Kearns, West Virginia’s fifth-year coach was putting his team’s game-one hopes on the shoulders of a guy who had pitched just 35.1 innings, allowed 38 hits in those 35.1 innings with opposing teams batting nearly .270 against him.
Incidentally, six of those 38 hits traveled out of the ballpark and five more of his pitches sailed back to the backstop, putting runners in position to score even more runs.
