“I thought offensively, we were pretty complete,” head coach Kermit Smith said. “At bat to at bat, I thought we made really good adjustments throughout the game.”
Freshman outfielder Phillip Cole led the way for the Mountaineers, going 3-5 with a double and two runs.
“For the last probably three weeks, he’s been really outstanding in terms of he’s lined out a lot, got a lot of hits, he’s worked into deeper counts,” Smith said.
