PHILADELPHIA - The offensive display Penn (10-19-1, 5-6-1 Ivy) showcased in this past weekend's 2-1 series victory over Princeton -- the program's first of the year -- served as the difference in each of the Quakers' victories, and as the team shifts focus to La Salle (10-23, 2-7 Atlantic-10) and the ensuing four-game home stand, the batting order aims to continue production at an elite level. Headlined by senior Andrew Murnane, the "small ball" approach has clicked with tremendous success over the course of the last few weeks, accumulating runs in large chunks to keep games close or claim a lead. Combined with an improved bullpen and a solidified weekend rotation, Penn has surged to within three games of second, trailing the defending champions -- Yale (9-3) -- and second-placed Columbia (8-4).
