COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the 19th consecutive year, the NCAA baseball regionals don’t include West Virginia.
The Memorial Day reveal held no drama for the Mountaineers, whose 27-27 record and plus-100 RPI didn’t put them anywhere near the bubble. A rebuilding season capped by a tidy exit from the Big 12 tournament will be remembered most for WVU opening a splendid new ballpark, not so much for what the home accomplished inside of it.
If you’re keeping score, West Virginia finished 8-10 at the Monongalia County Ballpark, 4-10 against NCAA tournament teams and 1-8 against the RPI top 50.
