MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Sean Corso drove in a career-high four RBIs on a pair of two-run singles and West Virginia beat Radford 6-2 in college baseball action Tuesday.
Catcher Ivan Vera also had two hits for the Mountaineers (10-4), who won three of four on the homestand and will open Big 12 Conference action at TCU on Friday.
Making his second start of the season, WVU freshman Tanner Campbell (1-0) allowed a run on four hits in six innings. He struck out six, walked three, hit two batters and threw 98 pitches.
Radford (2-15), which stranded 11 runners, left the bases loaded in the first after taking a 1-0 lead on Danny Hrbek’s single.
“Things were sped up on Tanner in the first inning, he was rushing a little bit, just being a freshman,” said Mountaineers coach Randy Mazey. “Once he settled in, I thought he was pretty good. He made some really good pitches when he needed too, with men on base and the game still up in the air. It was pretty encouraging.”
West Virginia took control with a four-run outburst in the third against Tyler Swarmer (0-2). Darius Hill had a sac-fly before Corso’s two-out, up-the-middle single made it 3-0. Marques Inman followed with an RBI single.
Braden Zarbnisky tossed two innings of scoreless middle relief for WVU. Endy Morales gave up a run in the ninth before Nick Wernke got the final out.
