Rutgers baseball made history in more ways than one on Friday in Omaha, Nebraska. The No. 2 seeded Scarlet Knights outlasted No. 6 Penn State 5-4 to advance to the semifinal round of the Big Ten Tournament for the first time ever. In addition, it marked the 43rd victory of this spring for RU, which set a new record for the most wins in a single season in program history. That dates back to the program forming in 1870.
Starter Nate Florence produced the pitching performance of the season for Rutgers in hurling 8+ innings of 1 run, 3 hit ball along with 10 strikeouts.
