CHARLESTON, W.V. - A pair of unearned runs cost the BlueClaws in their series-opening, 2-0 loss to West Virginia Friday night.
A run in the 1st inning was aided by a passed ball early in the inning, and a run in the 8th inning for the Power came home on a fielding error by Alejandro Villalobos for the second run of the ballgame.
Lakewood loses despite outhitting West Virginia 8-6.Miguel Alvaerz and Villalobos both went 2-for-4 for the 'Claws, but neither performance led to any runs in a potential comeback attempt by Lakewood.
