JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pitchers for No. 22 West Virginia issued 10 walks and allowed runs on a balk and a wild pitch during a 7-4 loss at Jacksonville on Saturday.
After splitting the first two games of their season-opening weekend series, the teams are slated for a rubber game Sunday.
Jacob Southern hit a two-run shot and Scott Dubrule tripled home a run for the Dolphins, who had only five hits but capitalized on the Mountaineers’ wildness.
WVU starter Alek Manoah (0-1) walked five over 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs — one on a first-inning wild pitch.
