GAME DAY. Hey @WVUBarstool@Moneyline_Mac : Boots on the ground at Rocco’s say first #wvu shot was at 9:00a on the dot. (Me. I was said boots on the ground and took a mid-run shot) CHEERS BOYS
Before anyone had finished settling into their seats in Omaha, West Virginia had already announced its arrival.
The Mountaineers made history Friday afternoon by earning the program’s first-ever College World Series victory, defeating a resiliet Troy squad, 7-5, in a game packed with momentum swings, clutch hits and unforgettable moments.
From a daring steal of home in the opening inning to another display of the lineup’s remarkable depth, WVU once again found contributions from throughout the roster. Big hits came from unexpected places, and Division II transfer Ian Korn delivered the longest outing of his season to secure the biggest win of his career.
In this episode, the “Guys” break down a memorable day in Omaha and explain why this Mountaineer team continues to prove that its greatest strength is the collective effort of the entire roster.
The victory sends West Virginia into the winner’s bracket of the College World Series, where an even greater opportunity awaits on Sunday.
As always, the conversation includes Hoppy’s Obvious Observations and the story of an incredible Mountaineer fan's trip to Omaha.
