WVSN Notebook 5/3/24: WVU Football, Basketball Continue Recruiting

The West Virginia Sports Now Daily Notebook is a daily recap of news concerning West Virginia University Athletics.

Update (7:10 PM) –

WVU Baseball put together a 5-4 comeback win over Cincinnati on Friday, their first ever matchup as joint members of the Big 12 conference.

Sam White and Skylar King hit solo home runs in the second and third innings, respectively. Cincinnati got one back in the home half of the third against Mountaineers’ starter Hayden Cooper, then leapt in front with a two-run blast in the fifth inning.

Eastern Panhandle native Kyle West wasted no time putting the Mountaineers back in front with a two-run bomb of his own, then White tacked on insurance with his second solo shot of the day.

Cincinnati pulled within a run following the seventh-inning stretch, but Carson Estridge secured the win with a four-out save.

WVU Baseball moves to 28-16 on the season (15-7 Big 12). That ties their program record for the most Big 12 wins in a single season, although the conference’s expansion plays as big a role in that as the Mountaineers’ success does.
