With an emphasis on arm angle, leg drive and pinpoint mechanics, Alek Manoah tries not to view pitching as a result-oriented proposition.
Still, when it all syncs up, the results are staggering.
Manoah struck out 13 batters and limited K-State to three singles over eight innings Friday night when No. 22 West Virginia coasted to a 6-0 win in Manhattan, Kan.
Tyler Doanes led off the game with a solo homer and Brandon White’s speed factored into two runs for the Mountaineers (30-17, 12-10), who remain in fourth place in the Big 12 standings.
Kansas State (24-27, 7-12) slipped to within 1 1/2 games of last-place Texas.
