Alderson-Broaddus Box Score | Bentley Box Score
 
Clermont, Fla. – Thursday's pair of games in Florida for the Millersville softball team showed two ends of the spectrum as the Marauders split two, falling to Alderson-Broaddus and defeating Bentley on the back end of the day's games, making the team 2-12 on the season.
 
Millersville was blanked by Alderson-Broaddus in the first game of the day's action. The Marauder offense could manage just two hits against the Battlers. Starter Kat Powell took the win, allowing hits to just Danielle DiFilippo and Ashley Cantiello.

Marauder starter Sarah Bertoni (0-7) was done in by two Battler long balls. The freshman was taken deep in the third and fourth innings. Alicia Hughes relieved Bertoni in the fifth and pitched two perfect innings, shutting down the Alderson-Broaddus bats and striking out two.
 
In the nightcap against Bentley, the Marauder offense was stifled for the first four innings, managing just one hit. In the fifth, Millersville had a four-run outburst carrying the team to a 4-3 victory in Cantiello's (1-1) first career start on the mound.
 
After the Falcons took a 1-0 in the top of the third, the Marauders exploded for four runs in the fifth inning on the strength of four hits. Six straight Millersville batters reached base in the inning. With the bases loaded and two runs already across, Cantiello singled in one and the Marauders were aided by a Falcon error on the play that allowed another run to score.
 
Cantiello, who was solid all game long, striking out five batters, yielded two more Falcon runs in the top of the seventh as Bentley had its sights set on a comeback. After a two-out, two-run triple, Cantiello would finish the Falcons by inducing a fly out to leftfielder Allison Chew, securing the Marauders second win of the season.
 
DiFilippo and Cantiello each had two total hits on the day to pace the Marauder offense. On defense, the team did not commit an error in either of the team's two games.
 
Millersville's win against the Falcons snapped a 12-game losing skid and delivered the team its first win in nearly two weeks and first in Florida with two more to play. Next up on the schedule for the Marauders is a matchup with Bridgeport, slated for 5 p.m. on Friday.
