WVU is 50-25 all-time against Marshall. The in-state foes met three times last season, with the Mountaineers winning twice. In all, West Virginia has won 10 of the last 11 meetings against the Herd.

The Mountaineers (10-8) enter the matchup on a 21-game win streak in midweek, home games, dating back to April 3, 2017.

Last time out, WVU dropped a weekend series at Campbell from March 18-20, in Buies Creek, North Carolina. The Mountaineers fell in Game 1, 8-6, before winning, 6-3, in the middle game. The Camels took the series finale, 6-5.

Sophomore catcher McGwire Holbrook continues to lead the Mountaineers with a .385 average. He is one of five players with double-digit RBI this spring. Junior outfielder Victor Scott II leads the way in that category, with 18.

Additionally, WVU has stolen 67 bases in 18 games this season, good for No. 3 nationally and No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference.

Marshall is led by coach Jeff Waggoner, who has led the Herd to an 11-9-1 start to the 2022 campaign. MU is coming off a series loss at FIU to begin Conference USA play last weekend.

Infielder/outfielder Luke Edwards is hitting a team-best .348 with four home runs and 21 RBI for Marshall. He is one of two players with 20 or more runs driven in this spring (catcher Ryan Leitch, 25). Catcher Kyle Schaefer’s five homers are good for No. 1 on the squad.
