Palouse Knights Squeeze By Penn State, 8-7
Penn State got a terrific game from third baseman Mark Atkinson. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Washington State, 8-7. Atkinson went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Bill McCants snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 3 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season. Adam Mitchell recorded the save, his 9th.

Had Flint Cannon not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Cannon hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Palouse Knights.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Cannon.

Washington State is now 13-20, Penn State 24-9.
