Bottom of the ninth, two outs, two men on base and the winning run comes to the plate.
Trailing, 4-2, against Princeton on Saturday, freshman Coba Canales stepped up to the plate with the game on the line.
He grounded out to second base and Penn lost its third straight game against the Tigers.
But last night was a different story altogether.
The Quakers dominated Lehigh, 5-1, led by a native of Carson, Ca., playing on his 19th birthday -- Canales.
Indeed, Canales went three-for-three with a double, two runs and a stolen base.
His game-ending grounder -- as well as Penn's three losses last weekend -- are now in the past.
"Coba's a great player, and he's really matured as the season has come along," senior Nick Italiano said. "Baseball's the type of game where you have to rebound after something like that, and he's the kind of player and hitter that can move on."
After Penn (20-14, 10-6 Ivy) was outpitched by the Tigers last weekend, sophomore Dan Finklestein limited the Engineers to one run in seven and one-third innings.
Finklestein struck out four, including twice striking out Lehigh's No. 3 hitter, Jesse Novalis, who entered the game with nine home runs and "All-American numbers," according to Penn coach Bob Seddon.
"Dan Finklestein pitched very well," Seddon said. "He didn't walk anyone -- he had excellent control."
While Finklestein did surrender seven hits to Lehigh (16-20), Seddon noted that none were really significant.
Finklestein's only real jam came in the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Engineers opened the inning with back-to-back hits and runners on first and third. Leadoff hitter Eric Hoffman, who went 2-for-4, hit a sacrifice fly, notching the Engineers' only RBI. After that, Finklestein got the next two outs and escaped the jam.
"That was the extent of their threat," Seddon said. "Dan was never in a lot of trouble."
Seddon added that about two-thirds of Finklestein's outs were groundballs, mostly to Glass and Italiano.
Sophomore Remington Chin pitched two scoreless innings in relief.
Offensively, the Quakers' depth -- which has been a focal point of the team all season long -- emerged yet again, as seven of the nine starters hit safely and combined for 12 hits.
"It seemed like the offense came alive tonight," Italiano said. "It was good to get out again and play after this weekend."
While junior Kasey Adler was hitless in four at-bats, Italiano and senior Andrew McCreery picked up the slack in the middle of the lineup.
Italiano went three-for-five, with three RBI, a run and a double, while McCreery had two hits, including a double.
Still, Seddon was slightly critical of the team's bats -- particularly the fact that Penn left eight batters on base.
"We should have broken the game open early, but we didn't," Seddon said. "We got just enough clutch hits to pull away."
Overall, though, Seddon was satisfied with the Red and Blue's effort.
"Lehigh came off a losing weekend, and they came out a little flat," Seddon said. "But I don't think we were flat. We came to play and that was nice."
With the victory, Penn is now 18-8 since returning from Fresno, Calif.
"It's huge," Italiano said. "The easiest thing we could have done is just rolled over and died."
Seddon echoed Italiano's sentiments.
"It was our 20th win, so that was nice," Seddon said. "We're trying to go on and put the weekend behind us."
"As dire as our situation seems," Italiano added, "this season is by no means over."
