Mountaineers Cruise to Victory Over Ohio in Home Opener
February 25, 2026 07:41 PM | Baseball
Â
Sophomore Matt Ineich went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI, and three runs scored against his former squad. Seniors Brock Wills and Matthew Graveline each hit home runs while senior Paul Schoenfeld recorded a double and a triple. Schoenfeld and Wills both finished the game with three RBI.
Â
Nine pitchers saw action for the Mountaineers with David Hagen earning the win, throwing two scoreless innings.
Â
The Mountaineers took an early lead in the first with a run. In the second, Schoenfeld capped a four-run inning with a two-run triple. WVU put up another run in the third before Wills hit a three-run home run in the fourth to jump out to a 9-0 lead.
Â
Ohio answered with four runs in the fifth and two in the sixth, but the Mountaineers responded with five runs in the bottom of the sixth. Graveline hit a two-run home run, his third of the season, before Ineich drove in two with a double. Junior Armani Guzman then collected his second RBI of the day with a sacrifice fly.
Â
In the eighth, the Mountaineers added five more runs on a wild pitch, a two-run double by freshman Colton Sims, and two-run single by redshirt-freshman Ryan Maggy.
Â
West Virginia will return to action on Friday to begin a three-game series at Kennesaw State. First pitch from Mickey Dunn Stadium is set for 4 p.m.
