Marshall and WVU to Play Tuesday
Herd hosts Mountaineers at Appalachian Power Park at 6 p.m.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- After a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to in-state foe West Virginia (24-17, 6-9 Big 12) last week, Marshall baseball (15-27, 8-13 C-USA) is looking to even the series when the Herd welcomes the Mountaineers to Appalachian Power Park on Tuesday in Charleston.
First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m., and both of the starting pitchers from a week ago will head back to the hill. In that contest, the teams combined for just six hits in what turned into a pitchers' duel. Back-to-back home runs from the Mountaineers propelled them to victory.
This will be the second meeting between the two teams at Power Park. In the inaugural game, the Marshall pitching staff combined for a two-hit 8-0 shutout.

Boster pitched a perfect game until the sixth inning of Friday's victory, and would leave the game after 6 2/3 innings pitched, allowing just two hits. Taylor almost threw a complete game, tossing 6 1/3 innings (of a seven-inning contest) and picking up seven strikeouts.
SCOUTING THE MOUNTAINEERS
WVU is coming off a series loss to conference foe Kansas, but did manage to pick up a 5-4 win on Sunday. Freshman Kyle Davis continues to lead the Mountaineer offense hitting at a .353 clip with 25 RBI, while senior shortstop Taylor Munden has hit two home runs in his last four games to lead the team with 10. Both Davis and Munden were the owners of the homers against the Herd last weekend.
