Black Bears Sting ValleyCats, 9-3
West Virginia Black Bears starter Jim Combs was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Tri-City ValleyCats, 9-3. Combs went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. His record improves to 6-0. The 6th-place ValleyCats have dropped 4 straight games.

In the bottom of the first, Wiatt Ventrice delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the West Virginia right fielder hit a 2-run single, putting the Black Bears in front, 9-3.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Combs. "Successful pitchers do it."
