The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

This is ridiculous

No, not the Internet problems that had me running at atomic levels for several hours and completely stalled my productivity until about 15 minutes ago. Rather, its the no longer disputed fact WVU’s baseball team never says never.

After rallying from nine runs down for a 15-14 victory over USF back on Saturday, the Mountaineers turned the trick again, this time overcoming a 10-1 deficit in the fourth inning to outlast Ohio 13-12 in 10 innings Wednesday night at Hawley Field.

“We just didn’t quit,” West Virginia Coach Greg Van Zant said. “This team never quits. We just keep having good at bats. Our hitters really competed all night.”

This is becoming a story worth watching. The Mountaineers, now 25-7, enter not just the teeth of their schedule, but the incisors. That said, I can’t believe anyone is lacking confidence right now and even when tough spots do present themselves, who’s going to say the impossible isn’t possible? You can’t. Not now. True, it’ll be harder against, say, Seton Hall, and for sure at home against Notre Dame and on the road against St. John’s. Yet a rally is just a few pings away. You sense there’s a “Why not?” attitude floating around the dugout, and in sports that’s one question that cannot be answered.  Â
