Starting pitcher Dovydas Neverauskas got off to a slow start by allowing five runs through the first two innings while issuing four free passes. West Virginia s offense tried to rally back on a few occasions by scoring two in the first to cut Savannah s lead to one, then two more in the third on Jerrick Suiter s first home run of the year to make it a two-run game. However, Savannah s offense exploded in the sixth when they scored four runs on five hits. Neveruaskas suffered his first loss of the season. LET S TAKE THIS: West Virginia guns for the series victory this afternoon in the fourth and final game of the series against Savannah. The Power will toss up RHP Austin Coley to the mound in his South Atlantic League debut. The 22-year-old held a 5.23 ERA in eight starts with Jamestown but had a 2.84 ERA in his final seven starts of the year. Coley was drafted by the Pirates in the 8th round of last year s draft from Belmont University in Tennessee.
