UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - As soon their home schedule began in the middle of March, it didn't take long to realize that the Penn State baseball team clearly enjoyed the comforts of Medlar Field.
Having achieved their best home start since 1980 with a 7-0 record, the Nittany Lions faced a new challenge. Could they manage to win on the road in the Big Ten after going just 5-12 away from State College during the opening month of the season?
Taking on Purdue in their second Big Ten series of the season, the Lions kept the momentum that saw them win eight of their last nine going, taking two out of three from the Boilermakers over the weekend. Penn State won twice on Saturday by scores of 2-1 and 6-5 before their six game winning streak ended on Sunday with a 4-0 loss.
"It's hard to win on the road but it's part of the process and we have to choose to compete every day whether we're home or away," head coach Rob Cooper said. "Our guys fought and on Sunday they had a chance to win at the end."
