MORGANTOWN, W Va.- West Virginia scored in each of the first three innings and knocked off the Golden Flashes by the final score of 8-0 on Wednesday night.
The Mountaineers used an infield single and a two-out double in the first inning to grab the early lead. From there, West Virginia used the long ball to pace the offense, slugging a solo homer in the second inning and two more in the third.
The long ball knocked starter Zach Schultz from the game, turning the game over to Peyton Deats. The lefty threw two and two thirds scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out three.
