MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s 2019 baseball season ended in the most painful way imaginable — an opponent ending the best season in school history by hitting a walk-off grand slam on the Mountaineers’ home field.
Of course, that was pain as defined by 2019 standards.
This year’s Mountaineers didn’t get to settle their fate on the field. Their season ended on a bus — and they didn’t even know it.
WVU was about 15 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport, ready to depart for its Big 12-opening series against third-ranked Texas Tech.
