HOW IT HAPPENED
The Quakers drew first blood in the second inning as Hood homered for the eighth time of the season to give Penn a 1-0 lead. Cornell would claw back in the bottom of the frame after loading the bases on an infield error and plating a pair with a double down the left field line.

The hosts drove in another run in the third after a single up the right side scored a runner from third to give the Big Red a 3-1 lead.

Penn would edge back in front with three runs in the fourth. Phelan and Malinowski started the inning with a single and a double, respectively. Hood brought the Quakers within one as he plated Phelan with a single up the middle.

Adams tied the game, singling past a diving Cornell second baseman to bring in Malinowski and knot the game at 3-3. Courtney capped off the inning by pushing the Quakers in front with a sacrifice bunt to bring in Hood and make it 4-3 in favor of Penn.

Penn's one-run lead evolved into a four-run lead in the top of the second. After an infield error put McGeagh on base and a single by O'Neill, Malinowski crushed a three-run home run over the left field wall to give Penn a 7-3 lead.

Cornell would storm back after a pair of multi-run home runs. The Big Red halved Penn's lead with a two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh and took the series with a three-run walk off home run in the ninth.

WHAT'S NEXT
The Quakers travel to the nation's capital on Tuesday to face George Washington in their final non conference game of the season.
