MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the first time in program history, WVU Baseball is heading to the College World Series. The Mountaineers head to Omaha, Nebraska, with hopes of adding onto the best season of their +100 year history. BREAKING: Mountaineers punch first-ever ticket to College World Series.
WVU took down Cal Poly, 17- in Game 2 of the 2026 Morgantown Super Regional on Saturday, sweeping the best-of-three weekend. The Mustangs were outmatched in nearly every facet of the game, and it showed.
A seven-run second inning blew the game open in favor of WVU. Back-to-back homers from Ben Lumsden and Tyrus Hall carried the load in the offensive outburst of a frame.
At least two runs per inning from the third until the sixth padded the offensive insurance, too.
