LEWISBURG, Pa. - 1999 Bucknell graduate Eric Junge picked up his second spring training victory with the San Diego Padres in a 9-7 win over Seattle this past Friday. Against the Mariners, the former member of the Bison baseball squad pitched one inning and retired the side in order to improve to 2-0 this spring with the Padres.

He has allowed one run on three hits with two walks and two strikeouts for an ERA of 3.00.
