BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Senior Bryan Morris (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Catholic) threw a three-hit shutout in the opener and Bloomsburg used a two-run sixth in game two to sweep Mansfield 4-0 and 5-3 in PSAC East play.
 
The victories extended the Huskies' wins streak to eight games as the team has won 14 of its last 17.
 
Morris cruised through game one, at one point retiring 16 of 17 Mountaineer batters.  He scattered three hits and a pair of walks, while striking out six. 
 
A pair of errors by Mansfield allowed the Huskies to score the game's first run.  Joey Casselberry (Eagleville/Methacton) and Nick Mazza (Carbondale/Carbondale) each reached via miscues to open the second inning.  Corey Baiada (Harleysville/LaSalle) gave BU a 1-0 lead with a run scoring single that drove in Casselberry. 
 
Brian Almand (Haddon Township, NJ/Paul VI) doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Nickolas Eversole (Lewistown/Indian Valley) in the third for a 2-0 lead.
 
One out singles in the fourth by Baiada and Brad Smith (Morgantown/Twin Valley) put runners on first and second.  A.J. Stump (Reading/Antietam) followed with BU's third straight base hit, knocking in Baiada for a three-run lead.  Almand drove in Stump later in the inning with a run scoring single for a 4-0 advantage. 
 
After allowing a leadoff single in the second inning, Morris did not allow another hit until the seventh when the Mounties got runners on the corners with one out.  The senior right hander picked up his final strikeout of the day for the second and out and closed the door by forcing the Mounties' leading hitter Stanton Tentnowski to fly out to preserve the shutout. 
 
Almand went 2-for-4, singled, doubled, drove in a run and scored once.  Baiada and Smith had two hits apiece. 
 
Joe Candelmo took the loss for Mansfield.  He pitched all six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and struck out four. 
 
In game two, Almand and Casselberry ripped RBI singles in the sixth to break a 3-3 tie and lifted the Huskies to a 5-3 victory.
 
Bloomsburg took a 1-0 lead in the third when Almand was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a failed pickoff attempt and was bunted over to third.  A ground ball to short off the bat of Eversole put BU in the lead after three innings of play.
 
A failed pickoff by the Huskies in the top of the fourth allowed the Mounties to tie the game.  Seth Tressler led off with a double and after moving to third, scored on an errant throw.
 
Tressler added an RBI single in the fifth as MU took a 2-1 lead that was quickly erased by a Bloomsburg rally in the bottom of the inning. 
 
Almand started the frame with a single to left field before a bunt single by Tim Ravel (Sinking Spring/Wilson) put two men aboard.  Eversole bunted the duo into scoring position and an RBI single by Casselberry tied the game.  Mazza put BU back on top with a run producing base hit up the middle for a 3-2 lead after five.
 
The two squads would continue to trade runs, however, as Mansfield knotted the game at 3-3 in the top of the sixth.  Tentnowski drew a bases loaded walk to drive in the tying run.
 
In Bloomsburg's half of the sixth, Stump took the first pitch of the inning and deposited a single into right field.  He then moved all the way to third on a failed pickoff attempt by the Mountaineers. The next batter, Almand hit a ball high into the air in left center that dropped for a single in no man's land, scoring Stump for a 4-3 lead.  Later in the frame, Casselberry gave the Huskies some breathing room with a base hit to right field that scored Almand.
 
Almand had his second two-hit game of the day, going 2-for-3 with three runs scored after reaching on a pair of singles and a hit by pitch.  Casselberry had a pair of hits and knocked in two runs. Mazza and Stump contributed two hits apiece in the victory, as well. 
 
Tyler Hill (Lehighton/Lehighton) picked up the win in relief, his first of the year.  He allowed a hit and a walk in 1.1 innings of work.  Jared Schaffer (Perkasie/Pennridge) started and lasted 4.2 innings, scattering five hits and allowing two runs. He struck out two and did not walk a batter.  Sean McCloskey (Warminster/Archbishop Wood) pitched an inning of relief and was charged with an unearned run on three hits.
 
Reliever Johnathan Earnest took the loss in relief, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk in 1.1 innings.
