In the opening round of the Pennsylvania State University Athletic Conference playoffs Penn State Beaver fell short against cross state rival Penn College.

Tyler Schuster (Beaver Falls, PA/Beaver Falls) started on the hill for Penn State Beaver. Schuster pitched a strong 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 4 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 4.
