Pride Win Again, Extend Series Lead to 2-0
Villanova had no answer for Penn State starter Willie Savage, who flummoxed Starbursts hitters as the Pride cruised to victory, 5-2, in Game 2 of the Super Regionals. The Pride now hold a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-7 series, thanks in large part to the right-handed Savage, who controlled Villanova throughout the contest and threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball.

The most important at-bat for Penn State came in the top of the ninth inning, when left fielder Michael Rasmussen stroked a first pitch slider to left-center for a run-scoring triple, putting Penn State up, 3-2.

After the game, Rasmussen refused to speak to a reporter for the Penn State Chronicle. "You've accused me of throwing teammates under the bus," he said. "So, excuse me if I decline to answer your questions."

The next game is set to be played for Saturday, May 17th , 2042 at Penn State Grounds in State College.
