WVU Baseball Drops Big 12 Series to Kansas State After 14-9 Loss

West Virginia University's baseball team lost the final game of their series against Kansas State University 14-9, after allowing seven runs in the eighth inning, including a grand slam. The loss prevented WVU from clinching the Big 12 title, dropping their record to 40-10 overall and 19-6 in conference play, though they remain in a strong position to secure the championship in their upcoming series against Kansas. The Mountaineers started strong with early leads in multiple games, including a 3-0 lead in the final game, but were unable to maintain momentum against Kansas State's late-inning surges. Key contributors for WVU included Chase Swain, Jace Rinehart, Logan Sauve, and Sam White, who hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to briefly take the lead. Meanwhile, the Tulane Green Wave baseball team continued their successful season with a 3-0 win over Memphis, marking their 30th win and extending their winning streak to three games. Tulane's victory featured strong pitching performances and timely hitting, placing them fourth in their conference with a 30-20 overall record.
