Vera scored of freshman Darius Hill’s fly ball to center. Corso drove in two more runs with a base hit up the middle and then stole second. Inman’s single plated Corso to give WVU a 4-1 advantage. The Mountaineers had 10 freshmen get into tonight’s game. Six of them were in the starting lineup and the newcomers scored four of WVU’s six runs. “We’re not playing freshmen just to get them on the field, we’re playing freshmen because they’re good players,” said Mazey. “Three of them had two hits apiece and three of them pitched, one of them got the win. These guys are all good players, and they’re helping us win games.” The Mountaineers would tack on two more runs in the bottom of the seventh. Vera led off with a single and Galusky followed with a bunt single before Corso’s bas hit to left drove them home. The Highlanders (2-15) added a run in the ninth to make it 6-2, but Radford would get no closer.
