West Virginia moves on with first-round regional win over Fordham

GRANVILLE, W.Va. – Now that they’ve made history, the Mountaineers are making sure they prolong it.

West Virginia made the most of its first postseason home game in 64 years, rallying from a first inning deficit to down fourth-seeded Fordham, 6-2, Friday night at Monongalia County Ballpark. The game drew a program-record crowd of 4,355.

“Great win,” said West Virginia coach Randy Mazey. “That’s a stadium full of energy from the first pitch to the last.”

The win guarantees West Virginia of playing at least two more games. The Mountaineers face Duke in the 7 p.
