State College — The Nittany Lions have really been rounding into form on the diamond the last few weeks, winning four of their previous five games. On Tuesday, Penn State baseball made it five of its last six when it dominated Binghamton 15-1 under the lights at Medlar Field.

Penn State Bats Start Early

This game was practically all Penn State. Binghamton capitalized early on a series of hits that loaded the bases to get on the board in the third inning. But Penn State answered right back in their half of the third inning when Ben Kaliher scored on a wild pitch. 

Penn State would continue scoring in the fourth inning with a three-run blast from first baseman Anthony Steele to give the Lions the 4-1 lead. The shot was Steele’s first home run of the season. Kyle Hannon continued his impressive season with another home run in the fifth inning, putting Penn State up 5-1. That marks his fifth home run of the year, which leads the team.

Lions Pour it on Binghamton Late

The scoring continued for Penn State baseball when Jay Harry hit a double in the seventh inning to score a run. A wild pitch allowed Thomas Bramley to score and increased Penn State’s lead to 7-1. Johnny Piacentino hit a single that scored two runners. Anthony Steele later hit a sacrifice fly to score Piacentino, making the score 10-1. The Nittany Lions would cap off a six-run seventh inning after Jake Cooper hit a single up the middle that scored Tyson Cooper and made the score 11-1.

The Lions would add four more runs in the eighth inning with a single from C.J. Pittaro and a Tayven Kelley bases-clearing triple, which put the Lions up 15-1.

Starting pitcher Ben Demell had a stellar first career start, pitching 3.2 innings, striking out two, and giving up one earned run. Binghamton was shut out by the other pitchers in the game, with Ryan Partridge picking up the win. First baseman Anthony Steele also pitched in relief in this game, striking out two batters. Steele was a pitcher in high school, so this was nothing new for him, though new to this role in Happy Valley.

Penn State baseball improves to 12-5 on the year and seeks to ride the momentum into Ann Arbor on Friday to take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Lions’ first conference matchup.
