Mountaineers Drop Big 12 Title Game; Begin Prep for NCAA Tournament

The Mountaineers had an early lead in the Big 12 Championship, but ultimately couldn’t hold onto it, as the OK State Cowboys rallied to win 5-2.

In the bottom of the 3rd, WVU had the bases loaded with nobody out. A run scored as Brandon White grounded into a double play, but that basically killed the inning. The Cowboys limited the damage to just 1 run.

The Cowboys put a 3-spot up in the 5th inning, highlighted by Andrew Navigato’s 2-run double that missed being a home run by about 6 inches.
