MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — At the end of a weekend marked by tight games, West Virginia finally claimed one when No. 5 Texas Tech’s defense faltered.
The Mountaineers capitalized on three fifth-inning errors — two on wild throws by Red Raiders ace Steven Gingery — to score the tying and go-ahead runs in a 3-2 victory Sunday, avoiding a three-game sweep.
Reliever Jackson Sigman (3-3) struck out Texas Tech’s leading hitter Hunter Hargrove in a key situation, Braden Zarbnisky followed with three shutout innings and freshman Cody Wood earned his first save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
