Almost There: West Virginia On Cusp of WCS Triumph After 7-5 Win
Riding the 2-hit performance of catcher Luke Sigley, the West Virginia Black Bears got a road win against the Oil City Oilers, 7-5, in Game 4 of the Wild Card Series. Sigley was 2-4 with a home run for the Black Bears, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 1.

West Virginia used a well-timed hit by Jasper Sandahl to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Black Bears ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

Sandahl told the West Virginia News: "I was born for the big stage."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Oil Field in Oil City.
