PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team received a strong outing on the mound from Owen Coady, and stranded seven Brown runners on base over the final three innings in a 6-4 win in Ivy League play Friday afternoon.

The win, paired with Columbia's loss to Princeton, moved Penn into a tie with the Lions for second place in the conference, just one game back of Harvard.

QUAKER NOTEMEAL
* For the third time in four conference starts, Coady allowed no runs in at least five innings of work, allowing six hits while striking out four in 5.1 innings.

* Jarrett Pokrovsky finished 2-for-4, his fifth multi-hit game of the season and just his second during conference play, while driving in at least two for just the fourth time this year.

* Penn picked up its second win of the season while being out-hit (13-7).

HOW IT HAPPENED
Palis walked to lead off the game and promptly stole second and third, putting him 90 feet from the plate with one out. After a strikeout, Ben Miller drove in Palis with a single. Davis Baker followed with a walk, moving Miller to second and Pokrovsky took advantage of the RBI opportunity, plating Miller to make it 2-0.
 
 

Coady walked three in the opening inning, but got out of trouble thanks in part to strong play from Jackson Appel behind the plate.
 

Brown put two on with one out in the second, but Coady again left the runners stranded with back-to-back punch outs to end the inning.
 

Henseler and Miller got Penn started in the third with a one-out walk followed by a hit-by-pitch, again creating an RBI opportunity for Pokrovsky, who made it 3-0 with his second RBI single of the game.
 

Coady showed off his defensive prowess in the third, snagging a comebacker back up the middle to start a double play.
 

The senior southpaw's strong outing continued through the fifth as he again stranded a pair of Bears on the basepaths to keep his scoreless outing intact.
 

The Quakers took advantage of two walks, a hit batsman and three errors to put three on the board without a hit in the seventh, but Brown got right back in the game with a three-spot in the bottom of the inning.

The Bears brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the seventh and the ninth, as well as the tying run to the plate in the eighth, but Eli Trop, Edward Sarti, and Carson Ozmer all bent without breaking as the Quakers came away with a hard-fought win, the team's eighth in its last nine games.
