GAME THREAD

TOP 1 (BU)

Cole gets a couple of weak groundball outs before Matt Bolton beats the shift with a slow roller through the right side. Nothing is going through for Binghamton as Cole bounces right back with a punchout.

BOT 1 (WVU)

Paul Schoenfeld scorched a line drive back up the middle, but that was the only base hit in the inning. Gavin Kelly went down on three strikes and Sean Smith struck out swinging with Schoenfeld on second (stolen base). No score after one.

TOP 2 (BU)

Zack Kent ripped a leadoff double down the left field line, and after a wild pitch, he moved 90 feet away from home. He went on contact on a grounder to third and scored on a bang-bang play at the plate. It looked like Kelly may have tagged him before he touched, but there was not enough to overturn the call. Cole and Kelly cleaned things up with a strike 'em out, throw 'em out sequence to end the 2nd.

BOT 2 (WVU)

Three up, three down for the Mountaineers. Griffin is working extremely efficiently. Just 21 pitches so far.

TOP 3 (BU)

Nice, easy breezy inning for Chansen Cole. A groundout and two strikeouts. Nothing going for the Bearcats here.

BOT 3 (WVU)

The Mountaineers put some traffic on the bases with three walks in the inning, but came up empty-handed. Ben Lumsden had a leadoff walk, but got picked off while leaning at first. If it weren't for that, WVU would have had bases loaded with 1 out. Still 1-0.
