UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State was leading Columbia 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning Friday evening. Starting pitcher Sal Biasi was throwing a one-hitter with eight strikeouts when Columbia's hottest hitter, Randell Kanemaru, stepped up to the plate.
Biasi's pitch count was nearing 100 pitches, so Penn State head coach Rob Cooper knew that his ace would be pitching his final inning. With two outs and runners on first and second, Kanemaru sent a ball over the wall in deep left field to take the lead 3-2.
