When West Virginia needed a spark, the Mountaineers got it from an unlikely source. The Mountaineers entered the NCAA regional having lost nine of 13 games.

Sam White leads West Virginia with a .352 batting average and 64 hits. Despite winning the league, West Virginia only had one position player earn First-Team All-Big 12 honors, that being catcher Logan Sauve, who’s hitting .289 this season with eight home runs and 36 RBI.

The Tigers fell into the loser’s bracket and must win three games in two days to stay alive in the postseason.
