MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The Penn State Berks baseball team split a pair of games on the first day of the Ripken Experience. The Nittany Lions (1-3) opened up the day with a 6-4 victory over Fredonia State, followed by a 7-4 setback to Catholic University later in the day.

Bryce Stout provided the offense and Alex Laudenslager pitched a gem in the win over Fredonia.

The Nittany Lions let the lead slip away late in the setback to Catholic. The Cardinals scored a run in the top of the fourth, but Berks jumped ahead with four runs in the bottom of the fifth to lead 4-1. The Cardinals (7-5) got a run in the top of the sixth, four in the seventh, and added on more in the eight to earn the win.
