West Virginia Baseball Sweeps Opening Weekend

West Virginia baseball will start the season at 3-0 after winning all three games in their opening season weekend in South Carolina. The Mountaineers faced off against preseason #16 Central Michigan on Friday night and used a six-run third inning to cruise to victory 13-8.

The Mountaineers got major contributions from senior leadoff hitter Austin Davis, who went 3-5, scored three runs, drove in two and doubled. Behind him in the two-hole was freshman second basemen JJ Wetherholt, who started off his collegiate career with a bang, blasting a homerun in the first inning. He finished the day 3-5 with two runs scored and four RBIs.
