Arizona baseball drops middle game at West Virginia to snap 10-game win streak


Arizona will not be going unbeaten in its first season in the Big 12 Conference.

The Wildcats dropped their first league game on Saturday afternoon, falling 11-3 at West Virginia to snap a 10-game win streak.

A 7-run bottom of the 4th sealed the game for the Mountaineers (19-2, 2-1 Big 12), which chased UA starter Owen Kramkowski after 3.1 innings. The Wildcats (17-5, 4-1) were hoping he could go long after using seven pitchers in Friday night’s 16-inning win at West Virginia, a game that saw them record a school-record 29 strikeouts.

Kramkowski allowed eight runs, six earned, with the last three coming in after Raul Garayzar came on with the bases loaded and allowed a 3-run double. Garayzar gave up back-to-back run-scoring hits before retiring eight in a row, then Eric Orloff allowed two runs in the 7th.

West Virginia’s starter only lasted 3.2 innings but it only needed one reliever, as Reese Bassinger went the final 5.1 innings and allowed only one hit and one walk with eight strikeouts.

Arizona scored once each in the first two innings, on an RBI double by Mason White and a run-scoring single from Brendan Summerhill, who had two of the Wildcats’ seven hits. Tommy Splaine —who also had two hits—led off the top of the 4th with a solo home run to put the Wildcats up 3-2 but after that it was all West Virginia.

The rubber match of the series is set for 9 a.m. PT Sunday, with freshman RHP Smith Bailey set to start for Arizona.

West Virginia First Foundation lauds Wheeling police for crisis intervention success


The West Virginia First Foundation visited the Wheeling Police Department to commend its efforts in addressing the area’s mental health and opioid crisis.

Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger presented to the WVFF board, highlighting the department’s progress.

Schwertfeger attributed a 14% decrease in Group A crimes from 2024 to 2025 to the department’s crisis intervention program.

“Just another great partnership,” he said. “More collaboration in this area that we are very proud of and we want to keep the momentum going,.”

WVFF Executive Director Jonathan Board praised the program’s success.

“This in particular, the CIT program, that isn’t just in the ether, but is showing success – actual scientific success about de-escalation, about bringing together services providers and to boots on the ground and first responders, this is vitally important to not only this region but the entire state,” Board said.

The visit was part of WVFF’s ‘Hold the Line’ tour across the state.
