Box Score

PHILADELPHIA - Senior outfielder Ian Allen, junior catcher Steven Zimmerman, Jr.  and redshirt senior first baseman Dylan Tamecki combined to go 9-for-12 with six RBI and nine runs, and reached base in 12 of their 15 plate appearances, to lead East Stroudsburg University to a 15-5 win at USciences in non-conference baseball on Monday.

Redshirt junior left-hander Mike Pepio went 6.0 innings on the mound, allowing three runs, for ESU (19-18-1), which returns to PSAC East action this weekend with an important four-game series vs. Lock Haven.

Allen was 2-for-4 with two hit by pitches, one RBI, three runs and three stolen bases in the leadoff spot; Zimmerman was 4-for-4 with one HBP, two RBI and four runs in the No. 3 spot; and Tamecki was 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two runs as the cleanup hitter for the Warriors.

ESU had 18 hits, drew seven walks and four HBP to account for 29 baserunners in the nine-inning contest. Six Warriors hits went for extra bases.

Redshirt freshman OF Tom Nuneviller was 2-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run, and freshman 2B Carson Freeman was 2-for-4 with four RBI and a run. Freshman OF Evan Steele and redshirt sophomore C Mike Sulcoski also doubled for the Warriors.

Allen's effort moves him into a tie for second in ESU's career record book in total bases (303) and RBI (127). He moved into third in runs (154) and is on pace to finish second or third in school history in almost every offensive category. He became the sixth player in PSAC history with 150 career hits and 150 strikeouts on Sunday.

He extended his career stolen base total to 97, tied for fifth-most in PSAC history.

He also reached the 30 stolen base mark for the season after recording 36 thefts last year. He is the second PSAC player in the last 15 years, joining Cal's Sam DiMatteo (2009-10), with consecutive seasons with 30+ stolen bases.

The Warriors started quickly with three runs in the first and two in the second, and broke it open with a seven-run fourth.

Allen led off the game with a single and stole second and third, Zimmerman was hit by a pitch and Tamecki hit a three-run homer - his fourth of the season and the 11th of his career - for a 3-0 lead just four batters into the game.

In the second, Sulcoski hit a one-out double and scored on Allen's RBI single. Allen stole second and scored on an RBI single by Zimmerman to make it 5-0.

ESU's first seven batters reached in the fourth. Allen was hit by a pitch, Nuneviller hit an RBI triple, Zimmerman had an RBI single, Tamecki doubled, junior 3B Laine Renaud and Freeman had back-to-back RBI singles and Steele had an RBI double. Nuneviller added an RBI single for a 12-0 lead later in the frame.

USciences scored its first three runs in the bottom of the fourth. ESU got one run back in the fifth as Zimmerman singled, Tamecki doubled, Renaud walked and Freeman had a sacrifice fly.

The Warriors finished their scoring in the seventh with the first four batters reaching - Zimmerman singled for his fourth hit of the day, redshirt sophomore 1B P.J. Van Orman walked, Renaud singled and Freeman had a two-RBI single.

Pepio made his third start of the season and improved to 1-0. He allowed three hits, struck out six and walked one. Freshman left-hander Tyler Stafursky threw 2.0 innings, allowing two runs in the eighth, and freshman left-hander Zachary Marzano retired all three batters he faced in the ninth.

ESU's three southpaws limited USciences to seven hits, struck out nine and walked four.
