BAYLOR VS. WEST VIRGINIA SERIES
West Virginia leads the all-time series vs. Baylor 3-2 overall and under Steve Smith but the Bears lead 2-1 in Waco. In the teams' first series in 2013, BU took two of three in Waco but the Mountaineers took both games in Morgantown in 2014 as one game was washed away by weather.

The last league home opening series loss for BU was March 18-20, 2011, against TTU.

FRESH FACES SETTING THE PACE

The Bears' team leaders in homers (Aaron Dodson), slugging percentage (Dodson, .483), doubles (Darryn Sheppard, 7), ERA (Daniel Castano, 2.52), wins (Theron Kay, 2) and innings pitched (Drew Tolson, 32.1) are all underclassmen.

The Bears are 6-3 at home this year and have won both series thus far (3-0 vs. No .13 Cal Poly | 2-1 vs. Kent State).
