Michigan State opens weekend series at Penn State with shutout victory
Michigan State baseball has resumed Big Ten action this weekend, making a road trip to State College for a three game series against Penn State. The resumption of Big Ten play comes on the heels of a midweek victory over Oakland for the Spartans.
On Friday, to open the three game series, it was all Spartans, dominating the Nittany Lions and getting a 4-0 victory behind star pitcher Joseph Dzierwa. The star pitcher gave the Spartans five shutout innings, and was aided by Dominic Pianto and Tyler Horvath out of the bullpen.
Leading the way offensively for the Spartans was Ryan McKay, who went 5-for-5 in the game with two extra base hits and an RBI.
Michigan State now improves to 15-6 (2-2 B1G) on the season and will continue their series against the Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon at 2:02 p.m.
