AJ Havrilla went 2-for-3 at the dish with a walk as Cooper Hinson went 2-for-2 with a walk and hit by pitch.

The Mountaineers opened the scoring with three runs in the bottom of the first.
Â
MU answered with its first run in the top of the second after a one-out single by Cam Harthan followed by a steal of second and a wild pitch had him standing at third with two outs. Jack Smith smoked a single up the middle with a full count to plate Harthan and make it 3-1.
