HOUSTON – The West Virginia University baseball team won its 10^th straight game on Sunday, defeating Houston, 11-4, at Schroeder Park. The Mountaineers are now 30-4 overall and 10-3 in the Big 12 while the Cougars fall to 19-17 and 5-10 in conference play.

Junior Logan Sauve hit two home runs and had four RBI on the day while senior Kyle West added a home run, a double, and two RBI. Senior Grant Hussey collected two hits in the 200^th game of his career.

In his first start of the season, graduate student Jack Kartsonas threw 7.0 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out five. Senior Reese Bassinger added a scoreless inning in relief, lowering his ERA to 2.27.

West got the Mountaineers on the board in the first with a two-run home run, his fourth of the season and 48^th of his career.

After a run-scoring groundout from junior Sam White in the third, Sauve hit his first home run of the day, a two-run shot that went 441 feet.

West Virginia added four more runs in the eighth as redshirt junior Chase Swain scored on a wild pitch before freshman Gavin Kelly stole home after hitting a triple. Sauve followed a few batters later with his second two-run home run of the contest to give him his second career multi-home run game. Kelly added two more runs in the ninth with a single.

The Mountaineers are one of just seven teams to reach the 30-win mark already this season and own the second-best winning percentage in the country at .882, only behind No. 1 Arkansas (.889).

The Mountaineers will be back in action on Tuesday at Marshall. First pitch from Jack Cook Field is set for 6 p.m.
