Hilltoppers swept despite big home runs in slugfest against West Virginia

Coming off a disappointing loss to seventh-ranked University of Kentucky, the Hilltoppers were swept in their weekend series against West Virginia University despite moments of strong offense.

The series was WKU and WVU’s first ever set of games against each other and saw WKU head coach John Pawlowski coaching against his old college teammate and roommate, WVU head coach Randy Maazy.

“We go back a long ways,” Pawlowski said. “Obviously in college some great memories and we’ve got a great friendship. And you know when the game starts everybody’s competing, everybody wants to have an opportunity to win and I thought, you know, certainly they outplayed us this weekend and we got a lot of work to do.
