🔺 Successful Series. The baseball team took two of three from Rutgers this weekend. They started the weekend with a 7-6 walk-off win on Friday night. It was a back-and-forth battle as Penn State had a 6-4 lead going into the ninth inning. Rutgers tied the game in the top half of the ninth, so it took a Grant Norris line drive to right center to bring home Kyle Hannon and walk-off the game. Bryce Molinaro blasted two solo home runs, plus Anthony Steele earned the win on the mound.

The Nittany Lions fell on Saturday, but bounced back to get an 11-10 win on Sunday. They had to dig deep to pick up the second walk-off win of the weekend. Penn State had to rally to find four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and they did. Joe Jaconski hit a single to score Michael DiMartini to win it.

🔺 Went To Battle. The No. 9/8 men’s lacrosse team fell to No. 7/6 Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 12-9. TJ Malone recorded his 100th career assist, becoming the fourth Nittany Lion in program history to break 100. He finished his Penn State career tied for third all-time in points at 252. The Nittany Lions finish the season with an 11-5 record.
