Game 1 | Game 2

Millersville, Pa. - After suffering a narrow 3-2 loss in game one of Saturday's PSAC Eastern Division with Mansfield, Brooks Rothschild took on the role of stopper for Millersville in game two and threw a complete game two-hitter as the 25th-ranked Marauders rolled to a 6-0 win.

Rothschild (4-1) retired the first 11 Mountaineers (10-5, 1-1 PSAC East) he faced and took a no hitter through 6.1 innings. The second batter of the inning, Jon Taddeo, bounced a slow roller that hopped over Rothschild glove and rested between the mound and second base. Rothschild escaped the inning and stranded two bases runners in the seventh to give the Marauders (17-5, 4-2 PSAC East) the win.

Millersville, which struggled to find base runners in the opener, jumped all over previously unbeaten Joe Candelmo (3-1) in game two. Derek Kline blasted his sixth homer of the year in the top of the first to give the Marauders a 2-0 lead.

Millersville extended its lead in the third, using a bases loaded walk from Carlos Medina, a sacrifice fly from Zach Stone and a RBI single from Mike August. Stone added another sac fly in the fifth.

Rothschild finished the game with five strikeouts and one walk. Kline went 2-for-2 with a homer, double, walk and scored all three times he reached base.

If not for a few inches here and there, Millersville would have come away with a sweep on Saturday. But Mansfield received six walks from starting pitcher Derek Kline and scored all three runs on five walks and one hit in the third inning. The first run came on a sacrifice fly. Right fielder Corey Phelan caught the fly and fired a strike on time to Ryan Chesler, who was protecting the plate. Mansfield's Seth Tressler, however, was able to just elude Chesler's sweep tag.

The Marauders, who scored both runs in the first two innings off Mansfield miscues, was on the verge of retaking the lead in the fourth. With the bases loaded, Ryan McCormick smacked a rising line drive at second baseman Tressler. Tressler made a leaping snare and was able to double Jeff Heisey off first base, ending the inning and Millersville's threat.

Millersville stranded a runner in the sixth and seventh innings as well. Eric Rosenberger (4-0) was wild at times but battled for a complete game victory. He walked five and scattered four hits. Kline (3-1) lasted just two innings, but Mike McMonagle was stellar in relief, striking out three in four shutout innings.

Millersville is scheduled to travel to Mansfield for a doubleheader Sunday.
