Extra-Inning Win by Black Bears Over Ironbirds
The West Virginia Black Bears took Aberdeen pitcher Curtis Miller's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Ripken Stadium. The final score had West Virginia getting past the Ironbirds, 9-2. Miller went 5.1 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 8. West Virginia is now riding a 3-game win streak.

The most important at-bat for West Virginia came in the top of the 11th inning, when left fielder Mark Norlander stroked a 1-0 curveball to right-center for a run-scoring single, putting West Virginia up, 3-2.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Norlander told the West Virginia Gazette. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
