Morgantown Regional Prediction
Fordham was sent to Clemson two years in a row for its NCAA Regional. The Rams have got to be happy to going somewhere a little closer to home. This one will likely come down to being Texas A&M or West Virginia. A&M has strong pitching while WVU has the better hitting, at least statistically. You’ve got to think that A&M, playing in the rugged SEC West with the likes of Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and LSU- would likely have much better stats if it played in an average division 1 conference.
