## Resource

For the first time in program history, the Mountaineers are in the College World Series, and standing in their way is a Troy team that many fans may be overlooking. That would be a mistake. Troy enters Omaha after beating Florida TWICE, winning the Gainesville Regional, sweeping Little Rock, and winning five consecutive NCAA Tournament games. The Trojans may have 30 losses, but their schedule was one of the toughest in the country, and they're playing their best baseball at exactly the right time. In today's episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down: Why Troy's record is misleading The dangerous middle of the Trojans lineup Jimmy Janicki, Jabe Boroff, Aaron Piasecki, and the hitters WVU must contain Troy's pitching staff and bullpen Where WVU holds major advantages The biggest matchup edges for the Mountaineers My full prediction for West Virginia vs Troy in Omaha Can Steve Sabins and the Mountaineers take another step toward a national championship? Let's talk about it. #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #WVUBaseball #CollegeWorldSeries #CWS #Omaha #RoadToOmaha #SteveSabins #LockedOnWV #LockedOnWestVirginia #HailWV #MountaineerNation #CollegeBaseball #NCAABaseball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
