Mountaineers battle but drop 4-1, sets up rubber match
April 11, 2026
In a hard-fought pitchers’ duel that remained scoreless until the seventh inning, the West Virginia Mountaineers dropped a tough 4-1 decision to Texas Tech on Saturday. Maxx Yehl was outstanding on the mound, trading zeros with Jackson Burns while the Mountaineers’ defense flashed leather all afternoon to keep the game locked at 0-0 ...
WVU (23-7, 9-4 Big 12) took the first game of the series against Texas Tech with a big ninth inning. The Mountaineers led in the eighth inning, but allowed a game-tying run in the bottom of the inning. They responded with a six-run top of the ninth, which propelled them to victory. WVU took the back-and-forth game on the road, 12-8.
No. 17 WVU Baseball (22-7, 8-4) is a tough team to beat at home, touting a 9-3 record at Kendrick Family Ballpark thus far in 2026. I dove into the attendance numbers to follow up on past questions I posed before the season to see if the Mountaineer faithful are showing out.
