SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (Interstat) — The West Virginia Mountaineers, owners of a 44-15 record, face Cal Poly on Saturday afternoon at Robin Baggett Stadium in the second game of a three-game series.

West Virginia (44-15) enters the contest after a 12-2 rout of the Mustangs on Friday. Tyrus Hall starred in that win, going 2 for 3 with a home run and five RBIs. The third baseman has been a consistent threat in June, driving in seven runs over his last three games despite an 0-for-5 outing against Kentucky on June 1.

The Mountaineers have won four of their last five games and boast a potent offense that has scored 10 or more runs in four of their last nine contests. Right-hander Chansen Cole threw seven innings of eight-hit, two-run ball Friday, striking out 11.

Cal Poly (39-23) looks to bounce back after managing only two runs on Friday. Dylan Kordic provided the lone bright spot for the Mustangs, going 2 for 4 with a home run and an RBI. The right fielder has shown power in recent weeks, hitting two homers in his last five games, but has otherwise struggled, going hitless in four of his previous six starts.

The Mustangs have been solid at home this season, winning three of their last four at Baggett Stadium. Their pitching staff, often dominant during the regular season, was tagged for 12 runs Friday but had allowed three or fewer runs in seven of their previous 10 games.

The teams have met only once this season, with West Virginia taking Friday’s opener. The Mountaineers have won seven of their last eight games overall, while Cal Poly had a five-game winning streak snapped.

Interstat’s ELO system projects a 60.6 percent win probability for West Virginia, installed as the pregame favorite.

Key for West Virginia will be hitting early against Cal Poly’s bullpen, which worked only 1⅔ innings Friday. The Mountaineers have won 12 of their last 14 games when scoring first.

Cal Poly, meanwhile, needs Kordic to spark the lineup from the leadoff spot. The Mustangs have lost five games this season when held to two runs or fewer.

First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. Weather is expected to be sunny with temperatures in the low 70s.

Notes: West Virginia’s Sean Smith went 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs in Friday’s win. Cal Poly relievers Sean McGrath and Brady Estes combined for 1⅔ scoreless innings.
