Sluggers drop three games to Virginia
Junior pitcher Greg Arnold lasted just two and two-thirds innings on the mound yesterday giving up seven hits and six earned runs as the Penn State baseball team lost its third game of the weekend to Virginia 8-4.The Cavaliers scored a run in the second inning and followed that up with five runs in their half of the third inning to force Arnold to exit the game early.
Penn State Baseball Homepage
In the first half of a doubleheader Saturday, the Lions got seven
innings of work and six strikeouts from senior right-hander Nate
Bump.
Penn State, however, could not provide enough offensive support
for its ace as Virginia went on to a 5-2 victory.
In game two on Saturday the Cavaliers scored three runs in the
bottom of the second off freshman pitcher Dan Goebeler and cruised
to a 9-2 victory.
The three-game sweep by Virginia ups its record to 5-1 on the
young season, while the losses drop Penn State to 1-5.
