Needing a win after being swept by Purdue over the weekend, Penn State was sitting pretty with a nine-run lead when Duquesne led off the sixth inning.

By the time the Nittany Lions came back to bat, things had drastically changed.

In an up-and-down inning in which 12 total runs were scored, Penn State watched its comfortable lead dwindle all the way down to two as the Lions' pitching staff gave up seven runs off only four hits.

Nevertheless, Penn State (15-20, 2-7 Big Ten) rose to the occasion and joined in on the hit parade to pick up five runs of its own in the inning en route to an eventual 15-9 victory
