GRANVILLE — A little over 24 hours ago, Paul Schoenfeld’s two-run home run sent shockwaves through the state of West Virginia. It’s hard to top that. But, on Monday night, Armani Guzman might’ve just done it.

Guzman hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th to score Brodie Kresser to beat Kentucky 6-5 in the final game of the Morgantown Regional, sending WVU to the Super Regional for the third-straight year. The Mountaineers will host Cap Poly as the highest remaining seed, after No. 1 overall seed UCLA lost in the Los Angeles Regional. This is the first time Morgantown will host a Super Regional.

The man to do it was Guzman. The player who’s been to the past two Super Regionals and had his heart broken both times. The player who has stayed with WVU for three seasons, instead of transferring to another school and taking more money.

And after almost 140 games in a gold and blue uniform, Guzman, who seems to be the man of big moments, created history for the Mountaineers.

“It was really cool,” Guzman said. “Ever since I’ve gotten here, I’ve always wanted to be the guy. Certain moments show up during the season where you feel that way, but at the end, it’s just special being around the guys, winning games, and doing things that Mountaineer nation has never done.”

Brodie Kresser started off the 10th inning with a single. He struggled for most of the regional, but finally found some green turf. Ben Lumsden worked a walk after an eight-pitch at-bat, and quickly, WVU had two runners on with no outs. Tyrus Hall popped out to the pitcher, leaving two on for Guzman and an out.

Guzman had 4,000-plus Mountaineer fans singing his walk-up song, “My Girl” by the Temptations, as he approached the plate. On the third pitch, Guzman drove the ball to centerfield, scoring Kresser, ending the game. The WVU dugout cleared and chased down Guzman to celebrate. Meanwhile, the Mountaineer fans started to sing “Country Roads” to cap off a successful weekend.

“That was fun,” head coach Steve Sabins said. “Couldn’t have drawn it up any better. Everything that you love about coaching and everything you love about players was on full display this weekend. It was cinema. It literally had everything you could imagine.”

Guzman had an impressive regional and was named to the All-Tournament team. He went 3-for-6 on Monday night and had 10 hits and seven RBIs.

For most of the game, the Mountaineers were in the driver’s seat. WVU scored two early runs, one of which had Guzman stealing around and taking home on a groundout. Paul Schoenfeld and Matthew Graveline both singled to bring in two runs in the fifth. In the following inning, Player for the Regional Gavin Kelly hit a solo home run to make it 5-1.

Kelly was named the All-Tournament MVP. He had three homers in the tournament and two hits in Game 7. Schoenfeld added two more RBIs to his total for the weekend.

Kentucky and WVU always go down to the wire. That’s what happened in last year’s Clemson Regional, and in the first two games of this regional. So when WVU was up 5-1, it seemed too easy. As soon as that thought entered the mind, Wildcats’ Hudson Brown rocketed a three-run home run 440 feet to score three. The next batter, Ethan Hindle, homered, and just like that, the game was tied, 5-5, in the eighth inning.

“I almost let myself kind of think, like we won this game,” Guzman said. “I think it was the seventh or eighth. Then, I quickly realized that’s not how this game works. Kentucky’s a great squad. We play great games together.”

It was an all-hands-on-deck type of night for the pitching staff to help the Mountaineers keep a 5-1 lead for so long. After being pulled in the first inning due to an injury in Saturday’s game, Maxx Yehl started Monday night. The Big 12 Pitcher of the Year looked a lot more like himself and pitched five innings, allowed three hits and struck out six.

Ian Korn came in relief of Yehl, and he went two and two-thirds. Korn let up the back-to-back home runs, so Chansen Cole took the reins from him. Kentucky faced the top three pitchers in the Big 12.

In the top of the 10th, Cole walked a batter and had one out. During the middle of the next batter, Sabins put in Dawson Montesa to close it out. Montesa threw 122 pitches the day before and was still pumping 96 miles per hour with his fastball. Monstesa picked up the last two outs, sending the game into the bottom of the 10th, setting up Guzman to walk it off.

Now, the Mountaineers have a few days’ rest before Cal Poly comes to Morgantown for the Super Regional. The Mustangs went undefeated in their regional and outscored their opponents 25-5 in three games. Cal Poly was the No. 3 seed in the Los Angeles Regional.

After a wild four days of baseball in Morgantown, the team, town and state get to do it all over again for a best-of-three series, with a trip to Omaha, Nebraska, on the line for a spot in the College World Series.

“We’re bringing a Super Regional to Morgantown for the first time in program history,” Sabins said. “The goal, since I’ve been here for 11 years, has been to do things that have never been done in program history, and to be able to do that again this season is certainly special.”
