A dominant display
On May 29, 2026, the Mountaineers traveled to Wagener Field where they faced the Bearcats in a non‑conference baseball matchup that would end in a decisive 10‑1 victory for West Virginia.
The turning point came in the fourth inning when Matthew Graveline launched a two‑run homer, and shortly thereafter Ben Lumsden added a three‑run blast, swinging the momentum firmly in the Mountaineers’ favor.
Adding to the onslaught, Gavin Kelly and Armani Guzman each doubled in the sixth frame, driving in two and three runs respectively and extending the lead.
On the mound, Chansen Cole earned the win after a solid outing, while Conner Griffin took the loss for Binghamton; the relief effort was capped by David Hagen’s save.
The performance underscored West Virginia’s depth in both hitting and pitching, setting a positive tone as the season progresses.
