WVU Baseball Hot

By Delano Farley
The WVU baseball team is off to its best start in several years. As of March 6, the Mountaineers had compiled a 6-3 record and was chosen No. 10 by the Northeast Baseball Review. That is a welcome sight for Mountaineer baseball fans considering the baseball team has had losing seasons three of the last four years.

Big East conference members Notre Dame and Pittsburgh join the Mountaineer baseball team in the Northeast Baseball Review ratings. Notre Dame received a fourth place vote and Pittsburgh took the fifth slot. The number one pick was given to UNC-Wilmington who has surpassed 10 wins already.

The Mountaineers have posted early season victories over Bucknell, Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Coastal Carolina. In the season opening series, they recorded a three game sweep of the Bucknell baseball team before sandwiching wins against Virginia Tech and Penn State around a loss to N.C. State. A loss to Furman and a split with Coastal Carolina helped create the Mountaineers 6-3 win-loss standing.
