CHARLESTON, West Virginia -- WVU Tech baseball was edged by University of Charleston, 2-1, Tuesday evening at Power Park in Charleston, West Virginia. The Golden Bears are now 15-12 this season while the Golden Eagles move to 12-6.

Charleston jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over Tech in the first inning after a Golden Eagle single drove a run in. UC's final run came in the fourth off a single from Taylor Itnyre that scored Tristan Fields.

The Golden Bears scored their run in the bottom of the fourth when a sacrifice fly to center field from senior Brady Groesbeck drove in fellow classmate Tanner Levine. Levine reached base off a one-out double down the right field line.

Freshman Jacob Reimold led the team with a 3-for-4 effort at the plate.

Levine finished 2-for-4 at the dish with a run scored and a double while Groesbeck recorded the lone RBI.
