Maxx Yehl, WVU’s day two starter, is leading the charge for the Mountaineers. He is second among Big 12 pitchers with an ERA of .72. UCF’s Matt Sauser is first at .36.
West Virginia won the opening game in the series against BYU on Thursday. The Mountaineers got a great performance from day one starter Dawson Montesa, who pitched 7 innings, giving up only two runs on three hits. He also struck out seven BYU hitters, while walking none.
It was a great bounce back performance by Montesa, who struggled in his last outing against Baylor in Waco.
