Nittany Lions extend winning streak to five


UncleLar Take:

This is the way the team should perform during the mid-week games. This was a 180 turnaround fromt he Akron game last week. The team came out focused, scoring in five of the first six innings and the pitching staff was literally, not figuratively, unhittable.

(NOTE to the official scorer: would you PLEASE make sure that the first hit of the game is a legit hit. Picconi should have been charged with an error on a soft liner that he misplayed in the third. If the scorer records that as an error then the staff has a no hitter going into seventh).

Things did get a little dicey for a while in the seventh and eighth, where for a while, it looked like we might have a replay of last night where our opponent stages a furious rally. Eventually, Hawkins and Kelley each settled down before too much damage was done.
