This time, in a very different way, Penn State’s Kaitlyn Morrison homered for the second time in two days. On Saturday, it was a solo shot which briefly got the Lions back in the game before being blown halfway back to State College. Today, it was a 2-run blast to take the Big 10 series from Nebraska by a score of 6-5 in 10 innings.
The rubber match between the two was expected to be another low-scoring pitcher’s duel between Penn State ace Bridget Nemeth and Nebraska’s surging Kaylin Kinney. Instead, despite Nemeth going the distance and Kinney coming close, the hitters showed up sending four homers over the fence and the pitchers combined to yield 10 earned runs.
