Lennox Pugh had three hits and drove in a pair, and Pitt-Johnstown used strong pitching and a three-run first inning to build a lead in a 4-2 non-conference over Bloomsburg, Tuesday afternoon at Point Stadium.  The Mountain Cats are now 13-12-1 on the season.
 
Pitt-Johnstown jumped on Bloomsburg starter Dylan Lubinski for three first inning runs.  Pugh's two-run single scored Mario Disso and Justin Turcovski, before an Asher Corl double to the gap in left-center chased home Pugh.
 
Bloomsburg's Jake Reed was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the Huskies' half of the fourth to cut it to 3-1, and Ben Newbert's sacrifice fly in the seventh made it 3-2.
 
The Mountain Cats got that run right back on Josh Reynold's RBI ground out that scored Josh Ulery, who led off the bottom of the seventh with a double.
 
Five Mountain Cat pitchers got the job done on the mound, limiting Bloomsburg to just two runs on six hits in the nine-inning game.  Jared Hoener (1-0) got the win in relief of starter Luke Schrock after holding the Huskies hits in 1.2 innings, and Seth Coleman allowed just one hit over the final two innings to earn his first collegiate save.  Schrock started only surrendered one hit in two innings.
 
Pugh's three hits in four at-bats and two RBI led Pitt-Johnstown's 12 hit attack.  Turcovski had two hits, including a double and a run scored, while Jake Ansell and Disso had two hits apiece.
 
Owen Fischl singled and doubled for the Huskies.
 
Lubinski took the loss and slipped to 1-2 after giving up three runs on six hits in three innings.
