📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Pitcher’s Duel. No. 7 seed Penn State softball got caught in a low-scoring affair on Wednesday in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament against No. 10 seed, losing 3-1 to the Terrapins.

The Nittany Lions tied the game at 1-1 in the fifth inning thanks to a solo home run from Liana Jones, and it wasn’t until a Maryland RBI single in the ninth inning that the tie was broken.

🔺 Bumpy Country Roads. Penn State baseball ran into a red-hot West Virginia team on Wednesday, falling 18-7 to the Mountaineers in Morgantown.

Seven different Nittany Lions scored once in the game, with Joe Jaconski collecting the one extra-base hit of the game.

🔺 Universal Language. No matter where you come from or what language you speak, everyone knows how to dance!
