COLUMBUS, Ohio – Strong pitching from sophomore Ryan Ignas (North Wales, Pa.) coupled with another offensive outburst led the Penn State baseball team to a 14-6 win at Ohio State on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The victory gave the Nittany Lions' (17-22, 4-8 Big Ten) their first-ever road series win against the Buckeyes. Junior Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) hit his third home run of the series and 15th of the season to pull within two of the Penn State single-season record while senior David Lutz made his 76th career appearance to tie the school's career mark.

At this point you’ve heard it for the thousandth time on the radio or over and over again at a party, there’s no escaping one of the hits of the year.

“Tick Tock, on the clock. But the party don’t stop no. Woah-oh oh oh, Woah-oh oh oh.”

And if you’;ve ever been within earshot of the baseball team’;s locker room, you would also be all too familiar with the lyrics as Penn State turns up the iPod and blasts the song after every win.

However, unlike the singer of the party anthem, there was no waking up feeling like P. Diddy and there was no brushing of their teeth with a bottle of Jack (figuratively speaking, of course) for the Nittany Lions after Wednesday night’s loss to Mount St. Mary’s.
