PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (EYT) — Hitters sometimes look foolish when they face Nevin Day. As a freshman on the Punxsutawney baseball team in 2023, Day was 4-0 with a 1.02 ERA across 10 appearances. In 41 innings pitched, he gave up just 21 hits, issued a mere seven walks and struck out 34. He also hit a team-high .455. Somehow, he got better as a sophomore last season, sporting a 0.59 ERA in 11 appearances. He struck out 53 and in 35⅔ innings. Day, though, didn’t want to settle for those eye-popping numbers.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (EYT) — Parker Stahlman had been searching. But no matter what the junior left-hander had done, he was unable to recapture the form that made him one of the best pitchers in the state last season for the Punxsutawney baseball team. His walks mounted. So did the hits and runs he coughed up. His ERA ballooned. On Thursday night at Slippery Rock University’s Jack Critchfield Park, Stahlman may have found and captured some of his 2024 magic.
