From WVU Sports Information

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — West Virginia took down Jacksonville University, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at John Sessions Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, earning the season-opening series win over the Dolphins.

Junior infielder Tyler Doanes drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the sixth inning, before the Mountaineer bullpen closed the door in the one-run victory. Freshman left-handed pitcher Jake Carr notched the win in his collegiate debut, while redshirt senior outfielder/right-handed pitcher Braden Zarbnisky tallied his second save of the weekend.

“It’s hard to win college baseball games on the road,” WVU coach Randy Mazey said.
