Steve Snyder went 4-for-5 to pace a 10-hit attack and Penn State (21-23 overall, 8-8 Big Ten) rode the right arm of Mike Wannamaker to the win. Wannamaker (4-2) scattered 11 hits, struck out 10 and allowed two runs in eight innings to earn the victory. David Lutz pitched a scoreless ninth.

Despite holding the Purdue offense to six runs a day after giving up 18, the Penn State baseball team lost again to the Boilermakers Saturday, 6-4.

Purdue started out the game much like it played Friday night, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first before the Nittany Lions held Purdue to just two runs the rest of the game.
