The West Virginia Mountaineers (5-4) dropped game one of a three-game series against the No. 3 Oregon State Beavers 9-2 (9-0).

Oregon State jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after a disastrous second inning. Starting pitcher Alek Manoah began the inning walking clean-up hitter Tyler Malone. Beau Philip followed it up poking a single through the right side. Joe Casey tried to advance the runners on a bunt, but Andrew Zitel and Phillip Dull got the force at third.

Andy Armstrong laid a bunt down and Manoah trying to get it to second base for a chance at a double play couldn’t make the throw, loading the bases with one out.

Manoah went on to hit the next two batters and a wild pitch scored Armstrong from third.

Now with two on and one out, Kyler McMahan doubled down the right field line field line clearing the bases. McMahan eventually came in on a wild pitch.
