Nittany Lions Drop Middle Game to Iowa, 9-3
Hawkeyes use strong pitching from Nick Brown to snap Penn State’s six-game Big Ten winning streak.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – After shutting out Iowa for the first three innings, the Hawkeyes came alive with five runs in the middle frames on their way to downing the Penn State baseball team, 9-3, on Saturday at a windy Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Freshman Steve Snyder (West Chester, Pa.) and sophomore Joey DeBernardis (Lake Zurich, Ill.) each extended their hit streaks to nine games in the loss. Three Lion (21-24, 8-9 Big Ten) players finished with multiple hits, including junior Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) who went 2-for-4 with his first triple of the season. The teams round out the series on Sunday at 11 a.m., live on the Big Ten Network.
One of DeBernardis’ two hits left the yard for his second home run of the season, while he also doubled in the sixth. He was one of three Nittany Lions who finished 2-for-4, including Heath and sophomore Sean Deegan (Readington, N.J.).
