WILSON, N.C. - East Stroudsburg University swept a doubleheader from Pitt-Johnstown, 13-1 and 10-7, to improve to 9-1 and give head coach John Kochmansky the 200th and 201st wins of his career on Monday in North Carolina.

Redshirt junior Cody Klinger threw 5.0 innings of two-hit, one-run ball while ESU's offense pounded out 15 hits in the opener. Three relievers limited UPJ to two runs over the final 4.1 innings in the nightcap and sophomore Tyler Eckman recorded his fifth save of the season, already tied for third in school history.

Kochmansky, 201-146 in his eighth season, is the third ESU baseball coach to reach 200 wins and the fastest by a significant margin (86 games).

He has guided ESU to the 2013 PSAC championship, two NCAA DII Tournaments (2011, 2013) and three PSAC Tournaments in the last five years. The Warriors have also produced four MLB Draft picks since 2009, including last year's Atlantic Region Player of the Year Chris Knott, after having just one previous selection in school history.

The Warriors had 26 hits in the doubleheader with nine players collecting multiple hits. Redshirt sophomore 3B Jay Young was 5-for-9 with a double, walk, four RBI and two runs in the leadoff spot and redshirt junior SS Drew Hercik, junior 1B Dylan Tamecki and sophomore OF Ben Bortz had three hits each.

Earlier in the day, sophomore Ian Allen was named the PSAC East Pitcher of the Week for his no-hitter with 12 strikeouts in an11-0 win at Virginia State on Sunday.

ESU remains No. 6 in the NCBWA Atlantic Region poll, which included results through Sunday afternoon.


Game 1 (W 13-1)

Klinger held UPJ to just one run, coming in the fourth inning, in his first career start. He struck out seven without issuing a walk and allowed just two hits in 5.0 innings. Junior Joe DiGiovanni threw 2.0 scoreless innings in relief.

ESU scored one run in the first inning, on an RBI single by Young, before scoring six runs in seven hits in the third. Tamecki, freshman catcher Steven Zimmerman, Jr. and redshirt sophomore OF Casey Saverio had RBI doubles, Hercik had a two-RBI double and freshman 2B Aden Tully had an RBI single in the frame.

The Warriors added another run in the fifth (RBI single by freshman OF Chase James), Young had an RBI double in a two-run sixth, and the Warriors added three more runs in the seventh.

Young was 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run at the top of the order and Hercik was 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs in the No. 6 spot. Tamecki, James and Zimmerman also had two hits each.

Game 2 (W 10-7)

The Warriors scored seven runs in the second, UPJ tied it at 7-all after batting in the top of the fifth, then ESU responded with three runs in the bottom of the fifth to complete the sweep.

ESU sent 11 batters to the plate in the second inning with the key hits coming from Bortz (two-RBI single), Young (RBI single) and Allen (three-RBI single).

UPJ scored five in the third, including a grand slam by Luke Williams, and tied it with two runs in the fifth before junior reliever John Armbrust got out of the inning.

Freshman OF Christian Rishel led off the bottom of the fifth with a single, Bortz singled with one out and freshman catcher Mike Sulcoski had an RBI double for his first career hit to plate the go-ahead run.

Tully doubled to score James, who entered as a pinch-runner, and also scored on the play after an error for a 10-7 lead.

Armbrust pitched a perfect sixth, and Eckman came on for the seventh, pitching around a pair of two-out singles with a strikeout to end the game.
