The Morgantown Mohigans will square off against the University Hawks at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The last three games Morgantown has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
While Morgantown's victory against John Marshall wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Mohigans had just enough and edged out the Monarchs 3-1. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since March 28, 2024, but that streak is no more.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Morgantown has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like University struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Morgantown was able to grind out a solid win over University in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, winning 8-3. Will the Mohigans repeat their success, or do the Hawks have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
