    Being a WVU alum in Pittsburgh, it’s great to have a resource like Tony and the guys to keep tabs on what’s going on at WVU and in the Mountain State.

Sportsline For Sunday May 31, 2026
Q: Dawson, when did you know you had your stuff today and could take on the big moment?
After the first inning, two punchies and a short fly ball, I felt I had my stuff and knew I had to battle to give us a chance; the confidence built as the game progressed and the team fed off that energy.
Sportsline For Sunday May 31, 2026
Q: Steve, what did you see in Kentucky that might change how you approach the next games?
We had a solid read on Kentucky's offensive philosophy and saw that yesterday's sloppy game with many free passes could be capitalized on by playing cleaner, with more disciplined defense and sharper hitting; today we needed grit and depth, especially with our bullpen, to survive the late pressure.
Sportsline for Tuesday June 9, 2026
Q: What makes Troy's appearance in the College World Series particularly notable?
Troy's first-ever appearance, guided by a relatively young head coach Skyler Meade, and the way the team defied expectations with a difficult schedule and strong postseason performance, stood out as a defining achievement for the program.
Sportsline for Wednesday June 3, 2026
Q: How did the biomechanics center influence your preparation and performance this season?
Dawson describes the biomechanics center as a critical resource with detailed data on their bodies, allowing tailored drills and improvements; it helps them optimize spin, velocity, and movement.
Sportsline for Wednesday June 3, 2026
Q: What was it like to come back so quickly after the Wake Forest performance and be asked to pitch again on short rest?
Dawson explains that the coach asked him if he could go and that trusting the process, despite the quick turnaround, allowed him to deliver when needed, with adrenaline helping him perform at a high level.
