Expected pitching matchups for the weekend
Friday
WVU: Dawson Montesa (1-1, 1-1, 4.50 ERA, 15 K, 3 BB, 10.0 IP)
KSU: Cooper McMullen (0-1, 3.52 ERA, 6 K, 5 BB, 7.2 IP)
Montesa wasn't as sharp in his four-inning outing against Liberty, yet he still punched out eight batters and gave up just three runs on a pair of hits — a single and a triple. He's done a great job of pounding the zone, and if that continues this evening, it will give WVU plenty of bullpen options for the final two games.
Saturday
WVU: Chansen Cole (1-0, 2.25 ERA, 10 K, 4 BB, 8.0 IP)
KSU: Ty Bayer (0-1, 20.77 ERA, 6 K, 4 BB, 4.1 IP)
After a rather rough Mountaineer debut, Cole put on a show in his start last week against the Flames, tossing 5.1 innings of scoreless ball. He surrendered just two hits and two walks, while striking out seven.
Sunday
WVU: Maxx Yehl (1-0, 1.50 ERA, 8 K, 3 BB, 6.0 IP)
KSU: Cole Royer (1-0, 6.75 ERA, 4 K, 3 BB, 4.0 IP)
The big lefty will get the ball to close out the series, looking for his second straight strong outing. He gave up just one base knock in four innings last weekend.
