Collegian: PSU holds off Flashes

The baseball was bouncing everywhere except off the Nittany Lions’ bats in the bottom of the fifth inning against Kent State — but they found a way to score seven runs.
The Penn State baseball team (10-13) used the big fifth to defeat the Golden Flashes, 10-8, Wednesday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
The Flashes broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the fifth when Jimmy Rider scored on David Lyon’s bloop single that floated just over the head of Lions first baseman Joey DeBernardis. But, their lead didn’t last long.
The Lions took advantage of sloppy defense and wild pitching by the Flashes while scoring seven runs on just one hit in the fifth. Of the 10 Lions who batted, two reached on errors, three walked and one was hit by a pitch.
Penn State coach Robbie Wine said the team was due for some breaks to go its way.
