Injury report (WVU only)

West Virginia appears to have escaped bad news on the injury front, as starting infielders Gavin Kelly and Brodie Kresser are aiming to play versus Liberty despite being banged up on opening weekend.

“I think pretty good right now," Sabins said earlier in the week when asked about the two players. "Brodie was walking around the airport pretty comfortably. I guess comfortably wouldn’t be the right word, but he was walking. He got a fastball to the shin, and it blew up pretty good. He said he’ll be good by the weekend, but we got to see over the next couple of days if we’re able to flush that out. Gavin (Kelly) is good. No issues there. I think we survived weekend one without any serious injuries.”
