EAST STROUDSBURG - Danny Supey allowed only three hits and one unearned run over seven innings as he pitched East Stroudsburg University to a 6-3 baseball victory over Philadelphia University Wednesday on Mitterling Field.

It was first single nine-inning game of the season for the Warriors, who are now 19-13-1. They will play a home Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference doubleheader against Kutztown today at 1 p.m. Philadelphia is 9-31-1.

Supey, a freshman from Wyoming Area High School, had some control problems with five walks and one hit-batsman, but he struck out five batters and stranded eight base-runners. It was his first collegiate win in four starts and evened his record at 1-1.

The Warriors won the game with four runs in the third inning. Eric Lenz singled and Tadgh LaBar tripled him home to tie the game at 1-1. LaBar then scored the go-ahead run on an error. Singles by Matt Harmic and Joe Sobeski and a walk to Ryan Hatfield loaded the bases and two more runs came in on an infield throwing error.

Consecutive doubles by Harmic and Bryan Yagel produced a sixth-inning run and Lenz singled and later scored on Brett Reynolds' squeeze bunt in the eighth inning.

Lenz went 3-for-4 while Yagel was 2-for-3 and knocked in one run to raised his batting average to .459 and give him 54 RBIs for the season. LaBar and Harmic were both 2-for-5.

Three relievers followed Supey to the mound with Craig Whitten getting the last out with runners on first and second base for the save.
