A day after the West Virginia Black Bears (18-9-5) series finale against the Frederick Keys was rained out, it looked like the Black Bears might be in for more inclement weather. Clouds loomed overhead and rain began to fall shortly before their Friday contest against the State College Spikes (14-18-0) was set to kick off at Monongalia County Ballpark.
Thankfully, the poor conditions blew over right before the first pitch, and West Virginia pounced on the Spikes to the tune of a five-run first inning. The Black Bears wouldn t put up any runs after the fact, but their opening salvo was enough to secure a 5-to-2 win.

The art of pitching can be defined in two crude forms.
Power pitchers are those indefatigable throwers, whipping the ball 100mph. The others, a more relatively precise form, are those who pick their corners and speeds effortlessly, confusing batters at the plate.
This is one of baseball’s most intriguing matchups. A pitcher’s duel will drive fans to the stadiums.
Each pitcher calculates every move. With a kick of the leg and a towering arc of the arm, you simply never know what you’re going to get. But, these pitchers know what they are going to give. What defines these throwers is simply what they value more.
