No. 17 West Virginia Upset in Happy Valley
University Park, PA – No. 17 West Virginia had its lowest run output of the season, and the Mountaineers (34-5) had their 14-game winning streak come to an end after dropping a 3-2 decision to the Penn State Nittany Lions (25-14) Tuesday night.
Penn State redshirt sophomore Jack Porter gave the Nittany Lions the lead in the bottom of the first with a two-out solo home run for the 1-0 lead.
The Nittany Lions added a pair of runs in the fifth after an error at short on a ground ball from junior Paxton Kling, followed redshirt sophomore Jack Porter squeezing a single through the left side, and a passed ball put runners at second and third, redshirt sophomore Bryce Molinaro line a two-RBI single to right field for a 3-0 lead.
West Virginia got on the board in the seventh after senior Brodie Kresser worked a one out walk, then sophomore Spencer Barnett drove the 2-2 pitch well over the right field wall to pull the Mountaineers within a run, 3-2.
In the ninth, West Virginia senior Grant Hussey received a four-pitch walk. Armani Guzman came into the game for Hussey as a pinch-runner and Kresser advanced the sophomore on a sacrifice bunt, but the Mountaineers could not bring him home as WVU falls 3-2.
The Mountaineers return to the field for the first of a three-game series Friday night at UCF. The first pitch is set for 6:00 p.m. EST. Game two is slated for Saturday at 6:00 p.m. EST and the series finale is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST. All the action will stream on ESPN+.

East St. Louis (Il.) 2027 wide receiver Laron Baker was already familiar with some of the history of the West Virginia football program and now holds an offer from the Mountaineers.
Baker, 6-foot-0, 170-pounds, already held offers from Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan State, Boston College and a number of others.
But he added the Mountaineers after a conversation with wide receivers coach Ryan Garrett who came to watch him at his practice.
“I was very excited to receive the offer. It’s been a dream of mine,” he said. “I know West Virginia is known for having dynamic receivers like Tavon Austin.”
The Rivals.com three-star prospect is being targeted as a pass catcher and the coaching staff was impressed with his route running as well as his speed.
“They feel that I’m an amazing young talent with unique abilities,” he said.
Baker plans to make it to Morgantown in order to see more about the school and spend more time with the coaching staff as well as seeing the facilities.
“I can’t wait to visit,” he said.
On top of West Virginia, Baker wants to see Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon and LSU.
Baker still has time to sort through his recruitment but is searching for a program that has the right mix of family environment as well as a great coaching staff and a winning culture.
“Somewhere I can advance my game to the next level,” he said.
