West Virginia Baseball Splits Doubleheader Against Texas Tech

No. 16 West Virginia University baseball won their weekend series against Texas Tech, shutting out the Red Raiders 5-0 in the deciding game on Sunday. The Mountaineers split a Saturday doubleheader, losing game one 6-4 after a weather delay and an ejection of their head coach, but rebounded with a 3-2 victory in game two thanks to strong relief pitching and timely hitting. Key performances included seven scoreless innings from starter Jack Kartsonas on Sunday and a clutch two-RBI double from Brodie Kresser. Texas Tech was limited offensively in the final two games, with West Virginia's pitching staff controlling the tempo and allowing few scoring opportunities. The Mountaineers remain atop the Big 12 standings as the regular season winds down. West Virginia will next face Pitt in the Backyard Brawl on Tuesday.
