Nittany Lion Baseball Clipped by Northwestern in 11 Innings
Penn State plays its fifth extra-inning game of the season.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Despite a solid pitching performance from sophomore Ryan Ignas (North Wales, Pa.), the Nittany Lion baseball team fell to Northwestern, 3-2 in 11 innings on a sun-splashed Saturday afternoon at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Ignas only allowed one earned run in a career-high 7.1 innings, but it wasn’t enough. Junior Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) did extend his career-high hitting streak to 16 games, tied for 10th-longest in school history. The teams meet in the series finale on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
Penn State (12-17, 1-4 Big Ten) used runs in the fourth and fifth innings to build a 2-0 lead, but three unanswered tallies, including one in the top of the 11th, sends Penn State into Sunday looking to snap a two-game slide.
