The West Virginia Mountaineers opened up their Big 12 Conference slate by doing what they have been doing all year, stealing bases. With the game on the line, down 2-1 in the ninth inning, the Mountaineers stole home, knocking the ball out of the catcher’s glove allowing the winning run to come home and give the Mountaineers a 3-2 lead that they used to take their first Big 12 win of the season.
The game would not start out well for Mazey’s club, as it recorded two outs but then gave up a double and a single and another double before a great relay from Victor Scott to Mikey Kluska to Dayne Leonard nailed the runner at the plate for the third out of the inning.
