UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - After Columbia's Shane Adams ripped an RBI double in the third inning of game two on Saturday afternoon to stretch the lead to 5-1, it seemed as if the Lions may cruise to sweep the afternoon doubleheader against Penn State.
With still no outs in the inning, starting pitcher Cole Bartels was pulled for Dakota Forsyth, who struck out two of the next three hitters and escaped the inning without surrendering a run.
Forsyth remained in the game for another three innings and turned in his best relief performance of the season, striking out a career-high eight batters without allowing a hit.
