Baseball Drops Heartbreaking 9-8 Final to Notre Dame in 10 Innings
Nittany Lions play to their third extra-inning game in as many games this season.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Despite a pair of home runs from junior Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.), including one in the ninth to even the score, the Penn State baseball team fell to Notre Dame, 9-8 in 10 innings, at the Big Ten/BIG EAST Challenge on Sunday. For the third straight day, the Nittany Lions went to extra innings, but unfortunately, the game once again ended in a walk-off. This time, it was the Fighting Irish who celebrated following a fly ball that got caught up in the wind, allowing the winning run to cross the plate. Penn State finishes the challenge with a 2-1 record for the second straight season.
