Penn State Baseball’s Unlikely run Continues, Team Moves to Big Ten Championship With 2nd win Over Michigan

Penn State baseball is now one win away from its  first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000.

A two-run homer by Adam Cecere in the 10th inning proved to be the difference in a 7-6 win over Michigan in the Big Ten semifinals.

After a scoreless first three innings, Penn State drew first, second and third blood on a two-run single by Matt Maloney.

Maloney then came home on a sac fly by Tayven Kelley.

Michigan fought back, scoring three times to tie it in the sixth. Michigan added two more in the seventh to go ahead 5-3 but Penn State cut the deficit in half in the eight on a solo shot by Joe Jaconski and then tied it on a single by Bryce Molinaro.

The game ended up going into extra innings, where Cecere worked his magic.

Penn State will now play the winner of No. 2 Nebraska and No. 3 Indiana Sunday.
