Penn State baseball in trouble after Illinois sweep

Illinois torched Paul Cianciolo for eight runs on Sunday

The Penn State baseball team fell to eighth place in the Big Ten as Illinois roared into Happy Valley and left with a 7-3, 11-5, 9-2 sweep. The top six teams make the Big Ten Championships, but all is not lost. The Nittany Lions (5-10) are a game behind sixth-place Michigan (6-9) and half a game behind Purdue (5-9). They own the tie-breaker against Michigan, but not Purdue.

The next two series at Michigan State (8-7) and at last-place Iowa (3-11) are critical. Penn State must win at least four of the six games or head to the season finale needing a home sweep against Minnesota (10-4).
