MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 25 West Virginia University baseball team lost a 3-1 pitcher’s duel in the second game of a three-game series against Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon.
The Mountaineers (25-16, 10-7 Big 12 Conference) scored one run on six hits while holding the Sooners (29-16, 7-7 Big 12) to three runs on five hits.
The series’ second game came after WVU and OU finished the first game earlier on Saturday. After lightning halted play on Friday night, West Virginia rallied to defeat Oklahoma, 4-2, in the final four innings early Saturday afternoon.
“Anytime you show up to the field and you’re losing in the sixth inning and you come out with the win, you have to feel good about that,” WVU coach Randy Mazey said of his team winning the day’s first game.
