West Chester exploded for 32 runs and 32 hits on Friday afternoon, sweeping Bloomsburg University and sliding back into first place in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division. The Golden Rams built a 12-0 lead after just four at-bats in game one to blast the Huskies 18-7, while seven runs in the top of the second gave WCU a 9-0 start that led to a 14-4 thumping of Bloomsburg in game two.
With Kutztown sweeping East Stroudsburg on Friday and first-place Mansfield splitting two games with Millersville, the Golden Bears of KU, the Mount-ies of Mansfield and West Chester are all tied for first place in the PSAC East with 10-4 records. All six PSAC East teams will switch locations and play another dou-bleheader on Saturday afternoon.
West Chester is now 30-6-2, posting its record-setting third straight season of 30 or more victories.
The school record of 32 was set last year. In the opener, Jeff Brennan moved to 9-0 on the season with a six-inning, six-hit performance as West Chester supported their ace with 18 runs on 16 base hits. Mike LaRosa, in just his second game since being shelved by a foot injury, went 3 for 6 with an RBI and a run scored. Erik Ruff had a monster contest with five RBI, a home run and a 3 for 6 game that featured three runs scored. Matt Redcay was 2 for 5 with a walk, two runs and an RBI, while Brett Wallace tripled and doubled, scored four times, drove in three runs and walked in three plate appear-ances.
Ryan Flynn and Josh Wagner each had two hits as well. In the second game, West Chester scored twice before exploding for seven runs in the second in a 14-4 taming of the Huskies. Ruff hit his second home run of the day, while Wallace and Jeff Lamb also smacked round-trippers. Redcay was 3 for 5 with an RBI and two runs, while Ruff finished the game with four RBI, three hits in four at-bats and two runs scored. Wallace was 3 for 3 with two walks, three runs and two RBI. Mike Bergstrom claimed the victory, pitching all seven innings, scattering 12 hits and allowing just three earned runs.
