A former WVU baseball player, Jeremy Cummings, will be pitching for the U.S. Olympic Team, according to MSNsportsNET.Com.

Cummings, who played at WVU from 1996-99, makes his debut with the team on Aug. 1-4 when the U.S. squad plays four exhibition games against Canada. The team enters Olympic competition in Beijing, China, on Aug. 13-23.

Cummings is expected to help the U.S. team get its second gold medal in the sport. Cummings won’t have another chance four years from now: Even though baseball has been a medal sport in the Olympics five times, including this year’s games, it won’t be reappearing at the next summer Olympics, as it has been voted out (at least for that year) by the International Olympic Committee.
