The weekend series between the West Virginia Mountaineers baseball and the Columbia Lions baseball comes down to a decisive final game Sunday afternoon in Morgantown.

After splitting the first two games of the three-game set, the Mountaineers will look to secure the series win on their home field.

Columbia opened the weekend with a 7–4 victory on Friday, capitalizing on timely hitting to take the first game of the series. West Virginia responded in dramatic fashion Saturday, walking it off in the bottom of the 10th inning on a grand slam to even the series at one game apiece.

The extra-inning win gave the Mountaineers a surge of momentum heading into the finale.

Pitching Matchup

West Virginia is expected to send Maxx Yehl to the mound for Sunday’s matchup as the Mountaineers look to control the pace early. A strong outing from Yehl could be key for WVU as they aim to limit Columbia’s offense and set the tone in the rubber match.

What to Watch

Sunday’s game presents a valuable opportunity for West Virginia to close out its first home series of the weekend with a statement win. With the series tied and both teams already trading blows in the first two games, the finale could come down to timely hitting and bullpen execution.

After Saturday’s emotional walk-off victory, the Mountaineers will look to carry that momentum into the final game and secure the series in front of the home crowd.

First pitch is scheduled for 12:30 PM at Kendrick Family Ballpark.
