GAME THREAD

TOP 1 (CP)

A quick two outs for Cole before giving up a base hit to the left side of the infield, beating the shift. Cole then gets a quick flyout from cleanup hitter Ryan Tayman to end the frame.

BOT 1 (WVU)

Armani Guzman wastes no time doubling on the first pitch, and then after a Gavin Kelly flyout, Paul Schoenfeld was walked on four pitches. Sean Smith made them pay with a bomb to left center to give West Virginia an early 3-0 lead.

TOP 2 (CP)

Cam Hoiland hits a leadoff double for Cal Poly, but Cole wiggles out of the early threat, striking out three straight batters.

BOT 2 (WVU)

Nothing going for the bottom of the Mountaineers' order. They go down in order.

TOP 3 (CP)

Cole is humming right now. He strikes out the side, making it six straight punchouts.

BOT 3 (WVU)

And just like that, the Mountaineers are grabbing their gloves. A four-pitch inning for Naess against the top of West Virginia's order.

TOP 4 (CP)

Dylan Kordic gets a leadoff homer to get the Mustangs on the board. Cole was able to settle down after hitting a batter and giving up a base knock to leave it at 3-1. Three more punch-outs for the Mountaineer starter. He's up to nine.

BOT 4 (WVU)

Huge inning already for the Mountaineers. The bottom of the order does it again. They load the bases up, and Tyrus Hall delivers with an opposite-field grand slam. WVU still has one out in the inning. Cal Poly makes a pitching change, going to the freshman Estes, who gets the third out before any more damage is done. West Virginia leads 8-1.

TOP 5 (CP)

Cole gives up a leadoff base knock, but doesn't allow anything to materialize. Five strong so far for the Mountaineer starter.
