West Virginia entered Friday night’s game one against Kansas State with a lot to play for this weekend in terms of program records and a potential Big 12 Conference title.
After suffering a midweek loss to Pitt on Tuesday in which WVU led by four runs entering the bottom of the ninth, the Mountaineers seemed like a team truly scuffling for the first time all year as they entered the night having lost three of their last five.
WVU once again entered the ninth inning with a sizeable lead, as they led 7-2 on Friday.
Then, after their defense had been great all night, costly errors hurt WVU as they collapsed for the second game in a row.
