Zarbnisky out indefinitely, but Mountaineers have experience in lineup

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When Kyle Gray and Jimmy Galusky signed professional contracts after being drafted last June, West Virginia baseball coach Randy Mazey had two gaping holes in his infield.

Another opening popped up in left field, where a potential season-ending injury sidelined do-it-all senior Braden Zarbnisky.

Good thing Mazey has the rest of his lineup intact heading into Friday’s season opener at Kennesaw State.

Coming off a disappointing 2018 season that saw the Mountaineers finish 29-27 and 9-15 in Big 12 play, figuring out the middle infield was priority No. 1 for Mazey to get back to the NCAA tournament for the second time in three years.
