Penn State's Steven Hill had quite the weekend. If you missed it, the junior pitcher threw Penn State's first no-hitter in a Big Ten game and its first since 1995 (Nate Bump) in Saturday's 2-0 victory at Iowa. Hill (4-3) faced two over the minimum, with one walk and one hit batter, and fanned three en route to the historic performance. Watch Hill and his coaches talk about the no-hitter in this post, plus see the Big Ten's latest baseball honorees.
