The Mountaineers' game-winning runner was put on base on a fielding error, and a throwing error in two at-bats later allowed him to score.
All three of West Virginia's runs came on miscues from the Panthers: a wild pitch in the first inning and throwing error trying to catch a runner stealing third base in the sixth inning.
