Nittany Lions Plate 10 Unanswered Runs For Thrilling 14-8 Comeback Win Over No. 24 Pittsburgh
Victory marked Penn State's first over a ranked opponent since the 2009 season-finale against Minnesota.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Trailing 8-4, the Penn State baseball team responded with five runs in the seventh inning and five more in the eighth on its way to a thrilling 14-8 victory over No. 24 Pittsburgh on Tuesday evening at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Lions (14-17, 2-4 Big Ten) ultimately took the lead off Panthers' ace starter Corey Baker, who entered in the seventh inning and was touched up for three runs in 1.1 innings. Junior catcher Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) once again spearheaded the Penn State offensive attack, going 3-for-5 with two solo home runs to extend his hitting streak to 18 games, tied for fourth longest in program history. The Nittany Lions now look ahead to a weekend series at Big Ten rival Purdue.
