The Penn State Nittany Lions baseball team makes the Big Ten Tournament semifinals for the first time since 2007.
Penn State baseball is among the nation's hottest teams, riding a five-game win streak into the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and potentially a dramatic return to the NCAA Tournament. The latest bit of magic came Thursday night in Omaha, where Bryce Molinaro hit an eighth-inning, go-ahead grand slam as the Nittany Lions defeated Michigan 9-5 and advanced to the Big Ten semifinals.
Last week, Penn State's chances of reaching the Big Ten Tournament appeared slim. The Nittany Lions were 9-12 in conference play and faced a three-game series at Maryland to close the regular season. They needed a sweep, and some fortune, to make the postseason. Penn State took care of the sweep, taking three straight from the Terps, including a 6-5, 10-inning victory in Game 2.
