Strong pitching performances by Ryan Amey (Fr., Bethlehem, Pa./Emmaus) and Jason Ryan (Jr., Queensbury, N.Y./Glens Falls) carried the Warriors to two victories in four Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference baseball games last week.

Amey hurled a five-hitter, allowing no earned runs in a 5-1 home win over Millersville to give the team a split after the Marauduers took the opener, 4-2. He struck out five batters and did not walk any in raising his record to 3-2.

Ryan scattered seven hits and gave up two earned runs in a 9-4 second-game away victory at Shippensburg, which had won the first game, 16-0. He had five strikeouts and two walks and also is now 3-2. The big hit in the game was a three-run homer by Matt Harmic (Sr., Brockway, Pa./Brockway) as ESU broke the game open with five runs in the seventh inning.

Harmic was 5-for-12 for the week for a .417 batting average with four RBIs. Third baseman Ryan Hatfield (So., Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) was the team batting leader in the four games at .500 with six hits in 12 at-bats with a double and two RBIs.

First baseman Bryan Yagel (Jr., Sunbury, Pa./Shikellamy) had two runs-batted-in apiece in the team's two victories and now has a season total of 46 RBIs, one short of the school record of 47 set by Jeff Pfeiffer in 1985. He leads the team in hitting with a .448 average (39 for 87) after going 4-for-13 last week.
