Anthony Pletscher (Hatfield, Pa.) started off game two with an RBI single down the left line to put the Nittany Lions out in front. The Nittany Lions held a 3-1 lead going into the seventh inning, but the Wildcats rallied to tie the game with the go ahead run on third base. Greg Mugnier (Glenside, Pa.) stepped onto the mound and got the Nittany Lions out of the inning with a strikeout to end the inning.
