In the top of the ninth inning on May 4, with Maryland’s Chris and Eddie Hacopian on base and the Nittany Lions clinging onto a two-run lead, reliever Dimond Loosli faced Alex Calarco with a chance to salvage the series.
Lossli fired a first-pitch changeup, inducing a flyout to center field. The catch sealed the victory, squandering the Nittany Lions’ six-game conference losing streak and fueling them with momentum entering Piscataway, New Jersey.
Penn State and Rutgers begin a three-game set with first pitches slated for 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. All three games will be streamed on Big Ten Plus.
