Final Series of Season to Feature Mountaineers Facing TCU | News, Sports, Jobs

The West Virginia University baseball team is gearing up for their final series of the regular season as they head to TCU today through Saturday. The Mountaineers have already secured their spot in the Big 12 Baseball Championship and are looking to finish strong against TCU.

With a current record of 31-19, WVU is sitting in third place in the conference standings, just a half game behind Oklahoma State for second place. The top two seeds in the conference will receive a first-round bye in the tournament, so the Mountaineers are looking to secure that spot with a strong showing against TCU.

Senior Derek Clark has been a standout player for WVU, earning Big 12 Pitcher and Newcomer of the Week honors for his impressive performance against Kansas State. Junior JJ Wetherholt leads the team with a .384 batting average, while senior Reed Chumley has hit a team-high 14 home runs and 40 RBI.

On the other side, TCU enters the final weekend with a 30-17 overall record and is currently in seventh place in the Big 12 standings. Payton Tolle leads the Horned Frogs on the mound with a 6-3 record and 105 strikeouts, while Logan Maxwell is hitting .349 at the plate.

The series between WVU and TCU promises to be an exciting matchup as both teams look to finish the regular season on a high note. Fans can catch all the action on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ and on the Mountaineers Sports Network.
