Columbus, Ohio, May 18, 2001 - The Penn State baseball team's second round contest at the 2001Big Ten Tournament versus No. 1 seed Ohio State was suspended due to rain on Friday.

Penn State and Ohio State were scoreless entering the bottom of the third when rain halted play. The Buckeyes had numerous opportunities to get on the board over their first three at bats as they had the bases loaded in both the first and third innings but failed to push a run across. Overall, Ohio State stranded a total of seven runners over the first three innings.

The contest will be resumed beginning at 12:05 p.m. tomorrow at Bill Davis Stadium on the campus of The Ohio State University. The remainder of the Nittany Lion-Buckeye contest will be broadcast live on State College's 1450 AM WMAJ and via the internet at www.GoPSUsports.com.
