UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.- After watching his team come from behind to win its past two games at home, Penn State baseball head coach Rob Cooper was waiting for the Nittany Lions to jump out to an early lead for once.
Taking on Youngstown State last night, the Nittany Lions more than answered their coach's wishes, erupting for seven runs off of five hits in the first inning on their way to a 15-2 victory over the Penguins.
In topping their previous season high of 10 runs, the Lions got 15 hits from nine different players, with six of them (James Coates, Greg Guers, Alex Malinsky, Aaron Novak, Taylor Skerpon, and Steve Synder) all recording two hits apiece.
"Our guys did a great job," head coach Rob Cooper said. "They really did some good things at the plate and jumped on them and took them out of the game really early. It was nice to be ahead going into the second inning."
