Northwestern baseball: Pitchers roughed up as Penn State sweeps series

The Nittany Lions scored early and often on Sunday afternoon as they rolled to an easy win and series sweep.

On another beautiful Sunday afternoon in Evanston, Northwestern baseball suffered its third straight loss to Penn State, 11-3, as the Nittany Lions swept the weekend series from the home team.

After a competitive series last week in Lincoln against Nebraska and a mid-week win over Chicago State, the Wildcats (9-27 overall, 2-10 Big Ten) had some momentum heading into this weekend's set with Penn State (22-14, 8-4). Unfortunately, that didn't translate into any wins or many runs for the Wildcats.
