This weekend was not the busiest of weekend’s for West Virginia sports as baseball is the only remaining sport in season for West Virginia right now. However, the weekend brought storylines including transfer news from football, as well as record-setting attendance for WVU baseball.
Baseball Wins Fourth Consecutive Series
West Virginia baseball has cemented themselves in the national conversation and are on the inside track to a regular season Big 12 title. The Mountaineers went 3-1 this week and took two of three from the defending national runner-up Oklahoma Sooners.
On Saturday — the one game WVU lost this week — the Mountaineers set a record for attendance with 4,387 fans walking through the gates at Monongalia County Ballpark. This was a single-game record for WVU baseball who had been closing in on record numbers all season long.
Football Loses Out on Transfer
Wide receiver Jaylen Ellis had previously said WVU will be his transfer destination. He then flipped that over the weekend and announcing his commitment to Colorado.
“Thank you West Virginia. But I will be recommitting,” Ellis wrote on Twitter.
This is not a problem big picture for the Mountaineers and their coaching staff. Losing Ellis’ commitment was not a big loss and Neal Brown and company will still look to build from the transfer portal.
