The Tigers loaded the bases in the fifth, but couldn't push across a run.
Nick Spaventa's RBI single put the Quakers in front, 3-2, in the home half of the fifth.
It took a half inning for the Tigers to respond as Matt Scannell hit a ball that hit the top of the wall and went over for a two-run two-out home run to put the Tigers back in front, 4-3.
Penn retook the lead on a two-run home run by Spaventa in the bottom of the seventh before a wild pitch made it 6-4. The Quakers tacked on three insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to finish the scoring.https://t.co/MBrvq5BT7c pic.twitter.com/3oomBn5U5f
