The third installment of our "Virtual Senior Day" series features the Penn State Altoona baseball team. Like other spring sports teams, the Lions' 2020 season was cut short due to the nationwide spread of COVID-19. The team was limited to just nine games before its season came to an abrupt halt in the midst of its annual Florida trip.

Today, Tuesday, April 21, would have been the baseball team's Senior Day at its final home regular season doubleheader. For this edition of "Virtual Senior Day," we would like to recognize each of the Lions' seven graduating seniors.
