GAME # 29 - 4/8/01 @ WEST VIRGINIA

The West Virginia Mountaineers (18-15) rallied from a 3-1 deficit, scoring

three runs in the sixth and two in the seventh to defeat Skip Wilson and the

Temple Owls (10-19, 5-1), 6-3, in the get-away game of their three-game

weekend set.

The Owls took a 3-1 lead in the sixth on a two-out two-run single by

catcher Jeff Roma, but the Mountaineers would come right back. Some timely

hitting and costly errors plated three runs in the home sixth and two unearned

runs in the seventh gave West Virginia the breathing room it needed.

West Virginia got three and two-thirds innings of shutout relief to hand

the Owls their third straight loss. Clayton Ewen (3-0) picked up the win while

Billy Biggs got his third save on the season.

Senior Greg Powell (2-5) went the distance for the Owls and suffered the

loss, allowing only three earned runs. The Owls committed six errors on the

afternoon.

Bob Filler, who tied Bob Christy's record of most games played at 187, had

two hits for the Owls along with Chris Krusen.
