Some of the best sports stories are about the underdog who overcame adversity.
Whether you’re a fan of “Rudy”, “Invincible” or another film, these movies have stood the test of time because they feature main characters the audience is quick to rally behind.
Such is the case with Penn State’s Adam Pilewicz, who while only playing in seven games this year, has seen ice time in each of the Nittany Lions’ last five wins.
But he was a scratch in Thursday night’s 4-1 loss to Wisconsin.
On Friday, Guy Gadowsky turned to his ace in the hole and inserted Pilewicz into the Nittany Lions’ fourth line instead of letting him ride the bench again.
