Penn State held a late lead, but its bullpen struggles proved to be too much once again as it fell to 8-14 on the season.
The Nittany Lions lost to Nebraska 8-2 in a cloudy evening game where offense was hard to come by early.
Friday’s matchup marked the first time Penn State faced off against Nebraska in the 2021 season. It was the blue and white’s first of three weekend home games against the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska took an early lead in the second inning after a bloop single scored Cornhusker first baseman Luke Roskam. Nebraska held its lead for four innings before the Nittany Lions eventually put one on the board in the bottom of the sixth with Justin Williams’ two out single to left field.
