MORGANTOWN — In the end, maybe it was just unfortunate math that calculated two unconventional endings for the WVU baseball program. More to the point, the Mountaineers finished the 2025 regular season by getting swept by Kansas, yet still hoisted the Big 12 trophy and earned the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament.
