West Virginia Takes Round 2 Opener, 4-2
The 22-year-old rookie on the mound turned out to be the least of the Lexington Legends worries.

Giving a high-pressure playoff start to youngster Miguel Mora seemed like a risky move for the Legends, but it was one of the few things that went right at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Mora tossed 6 solid innings, but it was all for naught after Lexington dropped a 4-2 decision. With the win, West Virginia took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 Round 2.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Dustin Sheppard? The 21-year old shortstop Sheppard stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put West Virginia up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I thought I'd have a season or two to get accustomed to everything," Sheppard said. "I didn't think I'd be here already."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Whitaker Bank Ballpark in Lexington.
