COLUMBUS, Ohio - It was a back and forth weekend between Ohio State and Penn State during the Nittany Lions three game set in Columbus. After Penn State took game one of the series, 5-4, in dramatic fashion, the Blue and White dropped the next two games of the series, 7-0 and 12-6.
Friday night Penn State held on to win the first-game of the series, 5-4, and led 4-0 after four innings of play. Jack Anderson was stellar out of the bullpen throwing three shutout innings and recording five strikeouts for his fourth save of the season.
Head coach Rob Cooper was pleased with his team's resiliency in series opener.
"These guys have been coming to the ballpark every day whether it's a practice or a game and really making the choice to compete and play hard. They did that again today [Friday]. Even when Ohio State chipped away at our lead and made it close that [competitiveness] didn't change."
