Dierdorff pitches Mountaineers past Liberty

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Senior Dan Dierdorff pitched brilliantly, giving the WVU baseball team a 2-1 victory Sunday and best-of-three series win against Liberty.

Dierdorff (2-4) pitched a complete game, allowing one unearned run on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks.

West Virginia (20-17) managed only four hits against Liberty starter Trey Lambert, who also went the distance but couldn’t overcome first-inning trouble.

Taylor Munden led off with a single to center and advanced to third on a hit-and-run by Bobby Boyd, who took second on the throw. Brady Wilson and Ryan Tuntland drove in Munden and Boyd, respectively, with back-to-back groundouts.

Liberty (19-18) cut the lead in half in the fifth inning when Bryan Aanderud doubled, took third on a passed ball and scored on a groundout by Trey Wimmer.

WVU returns to action Tuesday with a non-conference game against Morehead State at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston.
