Opening Statement
"This weekend is all about winning a series. It's kind of back to normal baseball, how we've played all year. You’ve got to win two games to advance.
"It starts with starting pitching. (sophomore) Chansen Cole came out and set the tone very early. That's a really good team, a very good offensive team, a well-coached team. They know how to base run, play defense. They're excellent competition, and Chansen Cole does what he does. The guy's a winner. His mentality, stuff, effort, and work ethic—he's everything that WVU is about, and that was on full display after pretty heroic performances last weekend. He keeps wanting the ball. He keeps performing at the highest level, and what he really does is, he's consistent. He does what he does.
