The Wildcats got nothing going offensively on Saturday against Penn State, leading to another loss.
It was Latin Heritage Night at Rocky and Berenice Miller Park, but the only team in a dancing mood after Saturday's game was Penn State, as the Nittany Lions trounced Northwestern 8-2. After losing 4-2 on Friday, the Wildcats kept the tilt close for awhile before a disastrous 5th inning soured a beautiful Evanston day.
Northwestern (9-26 overall, 2-8 Big Ten) couldn't solve Penn State starter Sal Biasi for the first four innings, but by the time the Wildcats notched their first run on a Ben Dickey RBI groundout in the bottom of the 5th, they were already down 6-0.
