Devon Werkheiser missed his first THON since 2013.
Pitchers Marlaina Laubach and Madison Seifert each pitched a pair of complete games on the way to winning all four games of the tournament against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.
Coach Rob Cooper's Nittany Lions didn't get off to the start that they envisioned this weekend as they were swept by No. 1 TCU down in Forth Worth, TX. A combination of inconsistent pitching and defense combined with the inability to get the bats going forced the Lions back to Happy Valley without a win to start the season.
The Nittany Lions fell behind the Cowboys 13-0 after the first three bouts, but managed to win the last seven for 27-13 win to take its second-consecutive National Dual Championship.
Congratulations to all of the organizations that contributed to this year's THON fundraising total.
As THON's fundraising model transitions away from canning, it's encouraging to see an increase in this year's total.
