MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Sophomore first baseman Jackson Cramer has been named the Varsity Sports Report Athlete of the Week for his performance in a win against No. 11 Oklahoma State last weekend.
Cramer led the Mountaineers in a 5-4 victory in the series opener on Friday night, scoring the first run of the game and then driving in the game-winning run. Cramer hit his first career triple with one out in the fourth inning and then scored to give WVU a 1-0 lead on a triple to center field by freshman designated hitter Kyle Davis.
Friday’s game was then suspended with the game tied 4-4 in the top of the ninth with two outs and runners on first and second for the Mountaineers and Cramer at the plate. When play resumed, Cramer laced a double off the right field wall to easily score sophomore catcher Ray Guerrini for the game-winning run. Cramer finished with two hits, two runs, one RBI, one double, one triple and one walk to lead the Mountaineers at the plate.
