The pen, which surrendered 18 earned runs in dropping two of three at Kansas State last weekend, managed to blank the Hokies over the final 4.2 innings of Tuesday night’s win - West Virginia’s 14th road triumph this year.
Right-hander Jackson Sigman tossed 3.2 scoreless innings before giving way to sophomore Braden Zarbnisky, who needed just 11 pitches to retire Tech in the ninth to register his second save of the season.
Sigman’s middle-relief performance was a big boost to a young bullpen that has been susceptible to giving up leads this year.
