Despite a tumultuous Saturday that saw WVU baseball lose their first doubleheader of the season to Texas Tech (6-4 in game one), including the ejections of head coach Steve Sabins and centerfielder Skylar King, and a shoulder injury to starting pitcher Gavin Van Kempen, the Mountaineers rallied to win the nightcap 3-2. Senior relief pitcher Reese Bassinger delivered a phenomenal seven-inning performance, earning high praise from Coach Sabins for his heart and determination. Sam White provided the offensive spark with two RBI doubles, and Jace Rinehart added an RBI single. Bassinger's resilience and the team's ability to overcome adversity were highlighted, putting them in a position to win their sixth consecutive Big 12 series on Sunday. Coach Sabins acknowledged his own ejection was a mistake, emphasizing the importance of leadership. WVU now stands at 38-7 overall and 17-4 in the Big 12, leading the conference.
