Last year's Eastern Division champs have picked up right where they left off.

The West Virginia Miners are 7-1 and sit on top of the division by three games.

Grant Williams leads the team at the plate with a .348 average. Williams plays at WVU Tech.

The team has also been excelling on the mound. Sam Lewis, who pitched a no-hitter on opening day, has a 1.20 ERA and has given up five hits in 15 innings. Jared Messer has a 0.60 ERA in 15 innings of work as well.

The Miners return home on Saturday.
