MORGANTOWN — Left for dead for three consecutive games, there may not be enough words to accurately describe the jolt of life the WVU baseball team just put into the school’s overall athletic reputation.

We begin with your stat of the day: The 24th-ranked Mountaineers (44-14) scored 26 runs to win the Clemson, S.C. Regional in three games. Twelve of those runs came in the eighth inning or later.

All three wins were comebacks, including Sunday night’s 13-12 victory against Kentucky to clinch a trip to the super regionals.

“I think this team has been doubted throughout the season,” WVU head coach Steve Sabins said. “They’re the most resilient bunch of kids I’ve had the pleasure of coaching.”

Resilient is one way of putting it. There are certainly others.

Clutch and heroic come to mind.
