MANSFIELD – East Stroudsburg broke up a 1-1 tie with four runs in the top of the seventh in the opener and overcame a 5-0 deficit with 10 runs over the last three innings of the nightcap to sweep Mansfield 5-1 and 10-5 in PSAC East doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Shaute Field.

In the opener, East Stroudsburg scored in the top of the first inning on an RBI single by Eric Boyer to take a 1-0 lead.

Mansfield tied the game in the bottom of the second when Jon Moser led off the inning with single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. He moved to third on a fly out by Conor Thompson and later scored on an ESU error.

Mansfield starter Andy Young, who went 1.1 innings to pick up a save at ESU Friday afternoon, threw a gutsy game, limiting the Warriors to one run through the first six innings. He pitched out of tight situations throughout, with ESU stranding 12 runners over the first six innings.

Young got out of bases-loaded jams in the fifth and sixth innings, but ran into trouble after getting the first out in the seventh. East Stroudsburg chased Young from the mound, scoring four runs – two of them coming on a single by Evan Gallagher with two outs -- on six hits in the inning to take what would prove to be an insurmountable 5-1 lead.

In the nightcap, Mansfield scored twice in the bottom of the first on an RBI single by Matt Fisher before Brian Milliman was hit by a pitch with the base loaded to plate another.

The Mountaineers increased the lead to 5-0 with three more runs. Jon Taddeo scored off a wild pitch early in the inning and Mansfield got two more off back-to-back doubles by Jon Moster and Conor Thompson.

Mansfield freshman Louis Sick held East Stroudsburg scoreless, allowing just two hits over the first four innings, before the Warrriors led off the top of the fifth with four straight hits. A Mansfield error and wild pitch helped ESU cut the lead to 5-4 when Sick was replaced by Curtis Harpster with no outs.

Harpster got the first two batters he faced out on a pop up and strikeout but a walk and two-run single by Nico Delerme plus a Mansfield error led to a seven run innings giving ESU a 7-5 lead.

Harpster took the loss in relief for Mansfield with Thompson leading the offense with a double and two RBI.

Colin Kelly picked up the win in relief for East Stroudsburg with Zach Menendez going 4-5 with an RBI and Delerme 3-4 with two runs batted in.

East Stroudsburg improves to 17-6 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC East while Mansfield falls to 7-20 on the season and 1-7 in the PSAC East.
