BAKER — Elkins split a pair of games against East Hardy on Saturday. The Lady Tigers took the lidlifter, 16-2, as Maddie Lambert worked all five innings, allowing two unearned runs on six hits and fanning four with no walks. She also helped herself at the plate by collecting three hits ...
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes stood at his locker in a near-silent Pittsburgh clubhouse on Thursday after a four-game home sweep at the hands of St. Louis and offered a prediction when asked if he was confident things wouldn't snowball on a Pirates team still finding its way. "I think we'll be alright," the reigning NL Cy Young winner offered. Less than 72 hours later, the vibes had shifted significantly. Three very different kinds of wins in three days over a division rival trying to have a breakout season of its own will do that. As Big Sean blared from the speakers following a ...
MORGANTOWN — West Virginia football's 15th and final spring practice is almost two weeks in the rearview mirror. Now comes the long dead period before fall camp starts in August. Rich Rodriguez answered some questions over his twice-weekly press conferences this spring, but there are still a lot of questions unanswered. The biggest question, like last season, is who will start at quarterback when Game 1 comes around when the Mountaineers host Coastal Carolina on Sept. 5.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — JJ Wetherholt led off with a home run against Pirates ace Paul Skenes, and the St. Louis Cardinals finished off a four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 10-5 win on Thursday. Skenes (4-2) fell to 0-5 against the Cardinals after allowing five runs, four earned, in five innings. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner’s brilliant April finished with a rare dud, as Pittsburgh’s losing streak hit five. The 23-year-old had been masterful after a shaky performance on opening day, allowing only three runs over his last five starts. The Cardinals matched that ...
