Punchless Spikes Fall, 14-0, to West Virginia
Rain could not dampen the pregame excitement of State College fans. But the subsequent loss, and a disappointing one at that, to the Black Bears had to.

State College had no answer for West Virginia Black Bears hurler Reggie McClain, who overwhelmed Spikes hitters as the Black Bears coasted to victory, 14-0. In 5.1 innings, McClain surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. Jesús Cháves, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities.

West Virginia used a well-timed hit by Jimmy Songer to capture the win. The third baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Black Bears ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We can't expect to win," said State College manager Jimmy Alvarez, "when we play like that."

The Black Bears go to 26-41 with the win.
