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+.

A skydiver crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before Virginia Tech’s spring football game Saturday.
Virginia Tech officials said on X that the skydiver “was safely secured and is currently stable” following rescue efforts. The incident caused a delay in the start of the spring game.
“Thankful for game days with Hokie Nation and for the Blacksburg and Virginia Tech first responders whose quick actions safely returned today’s parachuter to the ground without injury,” the university said.
The name of the skydiver wasn’t released.
“Our primary focus remains on their well-being,” Virginia Tech officials said in a statement. “We extend our sincere appreciation to the first responders, event staff, and medical personnel for their swift, coordinated and professional response.”
Video footage showed the skydiver’s parachute landing between the “C” and the “H” on the Virginia Tech lettering on top of the scoreboard before first responders rescued him.
CBS News has reached out to the Blacksburg Fire Department for details on the incident.
A much cleaner performance carried Clemson baseball on Friday, as it answered the previous night’s loss with a 5-1 win over No. 9 Virginia.
Michael Sharman set the tone from the start. He kept Virginia off balance all night, working eight innings while giving up just a single run. There weren’t many free passes, and he consistently pitched ahead, which allowed him to stay in control deep into the game. Hayden Simmerson wrapped things up in the ninth without any trouble.
At the plate, Nate Savoie was the difference. He delivered two home runs, including a go-ahead shot later in the game that put Clemson in front for good. His first long ball gave the Tigers an early edge, and he finished with three RBIs on the night.
Virginia managed to pull even midway through, but Clemson quickly responded. The offense strung together quality at-bats, with Bryce Clavon driving in a run and Luke Gaffney continuing his strong weekend with multiple hits. The Tigers created more separation late, adding another run after working a bases-loaded situation.
Clemson moves to 25-15 overall and 6-11 in conference play with the win. The series now comes down to Saturday’s matchup in Charlottesville.
