CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Baseball team (21-27) dropped a contest in Charleston, West Virginia, 7-2 to the No. 15 West Virginia Mountaineers (32-12) on Tuesday night at GoMart Ballpark.
Frustrating to lose the game. What a great crowd. What a great opportunity tonight and unfortunately, we didn't play to our best ability. Just a bit too many free bases we gave them (that led to) some opportunities on the offensive side.
Evan Bottone registered a 2-for-3 night at the plate with a double for his 23rd multi-hit game of the season.
Blaine Albright and Hunter Richardson each threw scoreless frames as starting pitcher Landen Doll, A.J. McAninch and Richardson each struck out a pair.
WVU struck first in the bottom of the first with a pair of runs, including a Gavin Kelly solo homer, and scored two more in the bottom of the second with a homer by Matt Ineich and Kelly's second long ball to make it 4-0.
In the top of the fourth, Bottone led off the frame with a double to right and was singled to third by Tyler Kamerer. A Jackson Halter sacrifice brought home Bottone to make it 4-1.
The Mountaineers tallied a run in each of the fifth and sixth frames to see MU at a 6-1 deficit.
Ethan Murdoch launched an opposite-field homer, his fourth of the season, to right to lead off the seventh and make it 6-2.
However, WVU added an insurance run in the eighth and hung on for the win.
