EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. – Senior outfielder Chris Schaedel (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier) collected a team-best four hits, but No. 20 East Stroudsburg's offense was too much in a doubleheader sweep Saturday afternoon.

IUP lost game one, 27-5, and game two, 2-1.The defeats drop IUP to 6-8 on the regular season. East Stroudsburg improves to 12-2.

Schaedel connected on two hits in each of the games to raise his season batting average to .451 (23-of-51). He also had two RBIs on the day, with each coming in game one.

In game two, IUP had some success in the third inning, with Chris Calliari (Brockway/Brockway) singling then advancing on a throwing error all the way to third base on the next at bat. Outfileder Hunter Bigler (Washington/Trinity) grounded out to second, scoring Calliari, to give IUP a 1-0 lead.

However, the Warriors answered with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, which proved to be the difference in the ballgame.

Sophomore Christian McClure (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) had a solid outing, pitching all six innings and striking out eight, while scattering six hits and allowing two runs. In his last three starts, McClure has given up a combined six runs while striking out 17 batters.

In game one, East Stroudsburg outscored IUP 25-0 in the third, fourth and fifth innings in the lopsided 27-5 loss for IUP.

IUP got some momentum for game two going in the top of the seventh, scoring four runs on two hits.
