A school-record nine RBIs in one game by first baseman Bryan Yagel (Jr., Sunbury, Pa./Shikallamy) and the hitting of shortstop Brett Reynolds (Sr., Philadelphia, Pa./Northeast) and second baseman Tadgh LaBar (Jr., Hope, N.J./Belvidere) highlighted a 2-2 week for the ESU baseball team.

Yagel was the power source in a 19-15 first-game victory over Aurora, Ill. in Fort Myers, Fla. He belted a grand-slam homer in the second inning, two-run singles in the fifth and eighth innings and a run-producing groundout in the first inning. He now has 26 runs-batted-in in the team's first 12 games and is hitting .476 (20 for 42 with two doubles, one triple and two homers).

Reynolds provided the margin of victory in a 13-12 second-game win over Aurora with a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The Warriors rallied from a 10-0 deficit for the win. For the week, he batted .533 with eight hits in 15 at-bats, scored six runs and drove in six. He took over the team batting lead at .486 (18 for 37 with 11 RBIs).

The Warriors swept a Rebel Spring Games doubleheader for the first time in five years during a 3-3 week. They beat LIU-Southampton, 1-0, and UMass-Lowell, 6-2, in back-to-back games, the team's first tournament sweep since 1996.

Tina Morak (So., Willow Grove, Pa./Abington) pitched a four-hit shutout against LIU-Southampton. She struck out three batters and didn't walk any. Sarah Kaplan (Jr., Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) singled to lead off the fifth inning and later scored the game's lone run on a sacrifice fly by Erika Lee (So., Glenside, Pa./Abington).

In the win over UMass-Lowell, Lee drove in three runs with a single and a sacrifice fly and Casey Dixon (So., Osceola Mills, Pa./Philipsburg-Osceola) knocked in two runs with a single. Monica Soboleski (Fr., Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg) didn't allow an earned run in gaining the pitching victory.

The Warriors also defeated Division I Stony Brook in their final tournament game, 5-4. Lee belted a two-run double in the sixth inning and Dixon drove her home with another double. Morak was the winning pitcher, giving up seven hits and three earned runs. Her record is now

3-2. Lee now has eight RBIs in the team's first ten games.
