After defeating Iowa on Wednesday in its Big Ten Tournament opener, the Michigan Wolverines baseball team went back to work on Thursday night for its second-round matchup with the No. 8 seeded Penn State.
Penn State, coming off a win over Illinois on Wednesday went with senior right-hander Jaden Henline on the mound, while Michigan countered with Chase Allen.
The Nittany Lions got on the scoreboard first in the second inning by taking advantage of some sloppy defense from Michigan. A throwing error by Michigan’s A.J. Garcia allowed Penn State’s Matt Maloney to score, putting the Nittany Lions up 1-0 early.
