In first two contests of the opening weekend of Big Ten play, the Penn State bats fell absolutely silent, mustering only one run.
On Sunday afternoon, the Nittany Lions found other ways to advance runners and add runs, as they used a sharp batter’s eye to lead them to a 9-3 victory over Rutgers.
Despite the lopsided score, both teams had over 11 hits in the game. The difference in the matchup came down to other ways to reach base and move runners. The blue and white drew six walks in the game, while the Scarlet Knights drew none.
