Game 1 | Game 2

Millersville, Pa. - Millersville baseball's recent woes continued Sunday at home against Shippensburg. By scores of 5-0 and 4-3, the Marauders suffered their first four-game series sweep since 2010.

Millersville (12-12, 2-6 PSAC East) has now dropped six of the last seven, and the shutout in Sunday's opener was just the fifth in the four-year history of Marauder Park. After being held to just four hits in the opener, Millersville tallied nine hits but stranded 10 in its seventh one-run loss of the season.

Shippensburg (17-11, 5-3 PSAC East) jumped on Millersville's starting pitchers early in both games. In the opener, the Red Raiders scored one in the first and bounced Mike McMonagle (1-2) after 3.2 innings. McMonagle allowed five runs--three earned--on seven hits and a walk. Ship starter Tom Bush threw six shutout innings, striking out eight and walking two.

The Marauders had to play from behind in game two as well. Shippensburg pushed two runs across in the top of the first off of Tim Mayza. Mayza settled in, though, and kept Shippensburg off the board until the fourth. He had to exit after 4.2 innings with an injury but held Shippensburg to three runs.

The Marauder bats finally scored in the third on a Mike August RBI ground out. Millersville added another in the fourth to bring Ship's lead to 3-2. That run came on Jeff Heisey's RBI single. Millersville, however, left the go-ahead runner on base.

Millersville knotted the game in the fifth on a Kurt Seiders RBI single and went on to load the bases. Shippensburg's Austin Bartley, however, closed the door on the Millersville rally, keeping the game tied at 3-3. His offense immediately responded in the sixth. The first batter of the inning reached on a Millersville throwing error and Jimmy Spanos followed with a RBI double.

Millersville couldn't crack the Shippensburg bullpen over the final two innings. Cody Kibler entered in the seventh and converted his third save of the season.

Seiders led the Marauders at the plate with two hits, giving him three on the day. August and Evan King also recorded two hits.

Millersville hopes to end its slide on Tuesday at home against non-conference foe Lincoln. The two clubs are slated for a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.
