MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Five pitchers combined to throw a four-hitter as West Virginia beat Morehead State 5-1 on Wednesday night, silencing one of the highest-scoring lineups in Division I.
Darius Hill drove in two runs for the Mountaineers, who managed only five hits themselves yet won their fourth straight game and improved to 17-10.
Morehead State , which fell to 22-7, entered the game leading the nation in on-base percentage, ranked second in team hitting (.340) and third in scoring (8.8 per game).
It barely scratched against WVU’s Alek Manoah — who went 3 2/3 innings in his first start — and the relief committee of Cody Wood, Frank Vesuvio, Jackson Sigman and Riley Troutt.
