One of the best views in the land will host a Super Regional today.

WVU (43-15) welcomes Cal Poly (39-22) to Kendrick Family Ballpark for a best of 3 set.

A Mountaineer victory will tie the win record set last season.

Reese Bassinger knows every game could be his last, and the veteran right-hander is approaching the Super Regional with one mindset: be ready whenever his number is called.
