Back in March, Penn State and Rutgers faced off in a conference matchup. The Scarlet Knights took the series 2-1, but much has changed since that chilly weekend in Happy Valley.
Fast forward to the winner’s bracket of the Big Ten Tournament, where the two teams met again in Omaha, Nebraska.
Despite rallying in the ninth, the Nittany Lions lost 5-4 to the Scarlet Knights in extra innings.
Defense was the name of the game through the first five innings, with neither team able to generate much at the plate.
Left fielder Cole Bartels slapped a base hit in the first inning, but that would be all from the blue and white’s offense for a while.
