Nowlan | The Ivy title is Penn baseball's for the taking
This year was supposed to be a step backwards for Penn baseball. After a program-record 14 Ivy League wins a season ago, the Red and Blue graduated a cavalcade of veteran standouts; a total of ten seniors played their final games in 2015, two of whom — Austin Bossart and Ronnie Glenn — were talented enough to take their skills to the professional level. And accordingly, the team has not been as dominant as it was a year ago.

Finally back in Philly, Penn baseball falls to Villanova, 6-1
When it rains, it pours. In a game that featured a rare lightning delay, Penn baseball fell short on the road to Villanova 6-1. Many of the same issues that have been plaguing the Quakers (2-7) so far in the young season were prevalent once again in the team’s fifth consecutive loss. Conceding runs early in games has been one of the problems for the Red and Blue, and the early inning woes continued today. After allowing 10 runs in the first inning in just eight games so far this season, the Quakers found themselves down 1-0 in first frame once again when Villanova senior Adam Gross doubled to left-center field and later scored on a Todd Czinege single.
