West Virginia Set for Showdown with Clemson in Regional Winner’s Bracket
West Virginia University (WVU) is poised to face off against Clemson University in a critical matchup for the NCAA regional winner’s bracket. This highly anticipated game will commence at 6:00 p.m. at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. The Mountaineers secured their spot by narrowly defeating Kentucky 4-3, while the Tigers triumphed over USC Upstate 7-3.
In their recent victory, WVU found themselves trailing 3-0 before staging a comeback with two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth, highlighted by Armani Guzman’s sacrifice fly that drove in the winning run. Pitcher Griffin Kirn dazzled on the mound, throwing 118 pitches over 7.1 innings and striking out seven batters.
Clemson, similarly resilient, overcame a 2-0 deficit against USC Upstate, propelled by Cam Cannarella who delivered a standout performance with four RBIs. Pitching for the Mountaineers will likely be Jack Kartsonas, while Aidan Knaak is expected to take the mound for Clemson.
The winner will advance to the regional final on Sunday, while the loser will face the winner of the USC Upstate versus Kentucky matchup in an elimination game.
