CDT: Wildcats thwart Lions late, again
Jeff Rice
UNIVERSITY PARK — The pitching was better — much better. But the same little mistakes caught Penn State again.
The Nittany Lions couldn’t hold a late two-run lead Saturday and lost their second game in as many days to Northwestern, this one a 3-2 affair in 11 innings.
Geoff Rowan’s double just inside the right-field line scored Zach Morton in the top of the 11th and Paul Snieder, who played the first 10 innings at first base, set the Nittany Lions (12-17, 1-4 Big Ten) down in order in the bottom half.
But, like Friday’s 11-5 defeat, it was earlier Penn State mistakes that let Northwestern take control of the game.
