UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State softball battled to earn both wins in Wednesday night's doubleheader against rival Ohio State. Although the team started behind in both games, the Blue and White stayed focus to come out on top.
"I think these games really allowed our kids to bounce back from Indiana and gave them some confidence back and that's huge right now," said head coach Amanda Lehotak.
Both Penn State and Ohio State battled but PSU proved how hungry it was for the wins.
"I'll take two ugly wins over a pretty loss any day," said Lehotak. Although it wasn't the best looking series I'm proud of the way the team fought back and got the wins.
Starting the first game off strong, the Blue and White jumped onto the scoreboard during the third inning where Penn State made a three-point trail into a tied ball game.
Kristina Brackpool's homer in the bottom of the sixth secured the victory for Penn State when she hit in two additional runs.
Moving on that momentum, the team held its' ground both at the plate and in the field to end the game in a 7-6 victory.
