The Mountaineers are riding a wave of momentum, currently boasting a 10-game winning streak that has brought them to the top of their game. With their eyes set on continuing this hot streak, the team is feeling confident after their emphatic 7-0 victory against Marshall in the first game of their three-game series held earlier this season at Kendrick Family Ballpark. While that game set a positive tone, the team knows that every match is a new challenge.

Meanwhile, Marshall’s pitching has been no slouch either, holding a solid 4.32 team ERA, good enough for No. 40 in the nation. The stage is set for both teams to showcase their talent on the mound.
