EAST STROUDSBURG – Bryan Yagel went 4-for-4 and drove in five runs as East Stroudsburg University downed New Jersey Tech, 13-7, in the second game of a non-conference baseball doubleheader Sunday.
The Highlanders (7-9) took the opener, 3-2, ending the ESU pitching staff’s 25-inning scoreless streak with one run in the fifth and then winning the game with two runs in the seventh.
Yagel belted a double and three singles and drove in runs in all four at-bats. Brett Reynolds and Ryan Conrad both went 3-for-4 in the team’s 12-hit attack.
The Warriors (11-6-1) scored six runs in the second inning as Yagel hit a two-run double and Steve Harris a run-producing-double.
