West Virginia University Baseball Team: A Short Story

IRVING, Texas – The Ladies committed eight errors in two games as Centenary (13-21, 10-10 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) fell in six innings, 11-3, in game one and 11-6 in game two to Dallas (11-25, 6-14 SCAC) Friday afternoon, April 14.

With Centenary leading game two 10-8 in the top of the seventh, sophomore Kylie Bradley blasted the first pitch she saw over the leftfield fence. However, Grambling State answered with three runs of its own to tie the game. With one out, McKenzie Johnson homered and Kenyshae Beasley singled. She stole second and scored on Mercedes Williams double. Tia Coleman followed with the game-tying single, but did not advance past first after sophomore Mackenzie Stewart struck out the final two hitters.

played decent there, but then got traded and while using the knuckleball as his primary pitch, Dickey got

The Gents played a closer game then they are used to in the series finale, but the Maroon and White never trailed in the series as Centenary (16-3, 3-0 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) swept a doubleheader with a 12-0 win (seven innings) in game one and 9-6 in game two.

However, a lack of motivation inspired hitting .300/.363/.511 with 19 doubles, 26 home runs, 49 walks, and 107 strikeouts that year. Altogether, he hit a .304/.366/.523 that season with 20 doubles, 28 homers. 102 RBI, 50 walks, and 10 strikeouts. He fell on a rough patch, therefore he trained intensively on his pitching, because his teammates needed him to win that season. Nonetheless, the rough patch became a temporary problem as his teammates and staff helped him to improve and his motivation to improve exceeded which ultimately reflect on his stats towards the end of the season.

Kowar worked quickly in the top of the fourth, getting a fly out and a line out before Jackson Lueck singled to left — the Noles’ third two-out hit of the night. What happened next is a pitcher’s

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--The second-seeded West Virginia University baseball team saw its season come to an end in a 12-8 loss to No. 1 Wake Forest on Sunday evening at David F. Couch Ballpark.

With a man on, Sam Lehman hit a double to the gap. Wilkinson hit Quintanilla, who fired home in an attempt to get the runner trying to score. Initially ruled out, Luis Victoria was given home plate when the umpire saw the catcher had dropped the ball.

Game two started off promising for the Ladies when Sexton led off the game with a double and scored on a pair of sacrifices, but that was it for the Centenary offense – which managed only three hits in the game.

​The best chance the Phils got to score off Foltynewicz came in the 7th inning when Tommy Joseph led off with a single and Franco followed with a walk. Michael Saunders then came up and hit a laser line drive right into the glove of Foltynewicz who then turned and doubled up a hung-out-to-dry Joseph at second. Andrew Knapp then grounded out to end the

As was the case in the win against Southwestern on Friday, the Ladies made the Mountaineers

“Bret Harte battled for seven innings for the ‘W’ and they worked hard for it,” said Sonora head coach Will Sarkisian.

Nick Martinez got the win tonight and backed up his impressive start against the Giants with another impressive one today. Nick pitched five innings, allowing just one hit, one earned run, and struck out one while walking three. For the Rangers, they got everything they could’ve hoped for from Nick Martinez. Nick has struggled this year but might have turned the corner as he as put together back-to-back impressive outings. On a hot summer night in Arlington, Texas, balls were flying and it was imperative that he kept the ball down. He held the MLB leaders in HRs at bay and Rangers fans have to be ecstatic. Martinez got to work early and coasted through the first three innings. Then in the fourth inning he ran into trouble. Newly acquired Carlos Gomez hurt the Rangers all series and led off

I was getting very nervous, because all three of us were hitless today. Okay, we need base runners, and we need them now. Don’t try to do too much, just get a hit. I thought. The first pitch was a fastball right down the middle of the plate, a perfect pitch to hit. My eyes got big, and my mind said swing, but before I could react, the ball was past me.

Between innings, Dominic got up and took a cold can of beer from the refrigerator. He was getting a little nervous. The Yanks couldn’t hit the stupid rookie and he didn’t know why. He wasn’t that great of a pitcher. The southpaw had a nice inside curve but otherwise, his pitches were all standard.
