Baseball Tops Iowa, 6-2, for Sixth Straight Big Ten Win
Reigning Big Ten Player of the Week Steve Snyder finishes 4-for-5, the third four-hit effort in his last six games.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Early-inning hitting coupled with strong pitching from redshirt senior Mike Wanamaker (Upper Nyack, N.Y.) led the Penn State baseball team over Iowa, 6-2, for its sixth consecutive Big Ten win on Friday evening at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. In a contest that was nationally televised on the Big Ten Network, the Nittany Lions (21-23, 8-8 Big Ten) did not disappoint, scoring six runs in the game's first three innings while riding a season-high eight innings and career-high 10 strikeouts from Wanamaker. The teams reconvene for game two of the series on Saturday at 4 p.m.
With the win, the Nittany Lions move within a single game of first place, currently held by Michigan, Minnesota and Northwestern, who are 9-7 in Big Ten play. Iowa (19-25, 6-10 Big Ten), currently in 10th place, is still within three games of first.
