Baylor baseball dropped the series opener to West Virginia Thursday night in Morgantown, W. Va.
The Bears stranded nine men on base and committed a costly error in the seventh inning as the Mountaineers squeaked out a narrow 2-1 win.
Sophomore lefty Cody Bradford (6-5), who had won his last two starts for Baylor, delivered a solid performance for the Bears. Bradford allowed just four hits and two runs, but just one earned with two talks and five strikeouts over seven innings. Senior Joe Heineman replaced him in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
