Jason Ryan (Jr., Queensbury, N.Y./Glen Falls) pitched a no-hitter and Gordon Kocher (So., Northampton, Pa./Northampton) and Ryan Amey (Fr., Bethlehem, Pa./Emmaus) fired back-to-back three hit shutouts as the Warriors won three of four Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference games last week.

Kocher tossed his three-hitter in a 7-0 first-game victory over Mansfield. He struck out four batters and walked two. Amey duplicated the performance with a three-hit, three-strikeout, no-walk performance in a 5-0 second-game win over the Mounties.

The pitching staff's string of scoreless innings reached 25 as Danny Supey (Fr., Exeter Township, Pa./Wyoming Area) blanked New Jersey Tech for four innings before giving up a run in the fifth in a game the Warriors lost, 3-2.

The Warriors stunned Bloomsburg, the nation's number one team, 4-3, in the second game of a doubleheader to highlight a 3-3 softball week. It marked the second straight year that ESU beat the Huskies at home, both times by 4-3.

Then after Bloomsburg tied the score, the Warriors won with a six-inning run as Buckley tripled and scored when the Huskies misplayed the relay throw.

Monica Sobolesky (Fr., Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg), who is from the Huskies' backyard, gained the pitching victory. Sobolesky also was the winning pitcher in a 7-2 victory over Holy Family, hurling no-hit ball over the last five innings.
