Penn State softball walks off Indiana in extra innings in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament

Riding the coattails of back-to-back shutout wins over third-seeded Illinois, Penn State defeated Indiana in extra innings.

With a final score of 2-1, the blue and white kept themselves alive and will take on Nebraska on Thursday.

Senior lefty Bailey Parshall took the circle for the blue and white, facing off against Hoosier pitcher Heather Johnson.

The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the third when senior Nittany Lion Ally Kurland’s double into left-center scored senior Lilia Crouthamel from second.

Indiana scored in the top of the fourth off the bat of first baseman Brianna Copeland, evening the score at one apiece.
