Wildness Leads to Nittany Lion Loss at Texas State

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State took advantage of 15 walks and four hit-by-pitches on its way to a 20-6 win over the Penn State baseball team on Friday evening. Sophomore Joey DeBernardis' (Lake Zurich, Ill.) three-run home run cut the Bobcats' lead to 4-3, but Penn State pitchers couldn't find the strike zone in the fourth as Texas State scored six times and wouldn't look back. The Lions are back in action at 3 p.m. ET Saturday looking to snap their five-game losing skid.

The Penn State offense did break out with 14 hits and six runs after scoring six runs the previous four games. Six Nittany Lions finished with a pair of hits – senior Louie Picconi (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), juniors Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) and Bobby Jacobs (West Chester, Pa.) and sophomores DeBernardis, Sean Deegan (Readington, N.J.) and Jordan Steranka (Pittsburgh, Pa.).
