How bout those Mountaineers

WVU 9---TT 4

An underrated key to winning the game was the consecutive spectacular catches by the Mountaineer OF defense in the 6th with multiple runners on that kept it tied 2-2 instead of putting TT 2 or 3 runs ahead.

Another set of plays - in the 8th, Smith gives up three walks wrapped around a double for 1 run and the bases loaded with only 1 out- then leaves the bases loaded. In the 9th, he strikes out the side.

If someone had told me that WVU would be competing for a Big 12 baseball title inside of five years of joining the league, I'd have told the nearest cop, "Keep a close eye on that one."

In the words of the late great Don Knotts, "This is big, Andy! I tell ya, big !"

Let's go Mountaineers!

No kidding, I thought I might need a defibrillator to get through that 8th inning. Heck...the whole 6th, 7th, and 8th.
