The WVU baseball team came out swinging against the Maryland Terrapins in the opening game of the Winston-Salem Region.

The Mountaineer hitters cranked six homeruns, tying their game-high on the year. The timing of today’s bats was impeccable today, though.

Kyle Davis and Jimmy Galuski hit two homeruns each, combining for five RBIs altogether. Ivan Gonzalez and Cole Austin each went yard once, too.
