MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 15 West Virginia University baseball team is set to take on Penn State in a neutral site game at Meritus Park in Hagerstown, Maryland. First pitch on Wednesday is set for 5:30 p.m.
Â
The game will not be streamed, but fans can listen on Mountaineer Sports Network and can follow live stats at wvusports.com.
Â
The Mountaineers are 24-8 this season after taking two of three over the weekend against Texas Tech. It was the first time WVU had won a series in Lubbock since joining the Big 12.
Â
All three starting pitchers – Dawson Montesa, Maxx Yehl, and Chansen Cole – went at least 7.0 innings, the first time a weekend rotation had done that for the Mountaineers since 2019.
Â
Graduate student Sean Smith was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week after hitting .600 with four doubles and six RBI in four games, which also included a midweek win over Marshall. Smith and sophomore Gavin Kelly lead the team with five home runs this season while Kelly has a team-best .418 batting average.
