Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
 
Shepherdstown, WV – After beginning the season at home last Friday, Wednesday marked the Marauder softball team's first two road games in a string of 17-straight away from home, and Shepherd handed the team its second and third losses of the season by scores of 2-1 and 5-2, respectively.
 
In the first game of the doubleheader, Alicia Hughes tossed a complete game for the Marauders but took the loss, surrendering two runs on seven hits and striking out three. Hughes was given only one run to work with in the first inning, when Gabbie Berry grounded out on a sacrifice to score Allison Chew.
 
From there, the Rams mounted rallies in the third and fifth inning, plating the tying run in the third and scoring what would prove to be the winning run in the bottom of the fifth on a double off the bat of Delaney Bell.
 
The Marauder offense was stifled all game, being held to only four hits. The hits came off the bats of Chew, Hughes, Ally Homa and Danielle DiFilippo. Millersville had one final rally in the top of the seventh inning, loading the bases after DiFilippo's single, Hughes being hit by a pitch and a Gabbie Ceritano walk. The threat was extinguished when winning pitcher Tricia Bettura got Wendy Wolff to strike out swinging, ending the game.
 
Game two was stopped after the fifth inning due to darkness. In Shepherd's 5-2 win, this time the Rams struck first, putting three runs on the board in the bottom of the second. The Marauders answered with a run in the next half-inning when Chew crossed the plate after singling in the second at-bat of the inning. Chew's run came courtesy of an Emily Sneeringer single, the first RBI of Sneeringer's career.
 
Millersville pulled closer in the top of the fifth inning after a solo shot by Chew. In two games, the junior combined to bat 3-for-6 with a home run and a stolen base. The Marauders' hopes of a comeback were doused in the bottom half of the fifth, when Sarah Bertoni (0-2) allowed two more Shepherd runs to cross the plate. The game was called at the end of the inning due to darkness, officially ending Millersville's comeback bid.
 
The Marauders now head to Florida for the Spring Games tournament at the National Training Center. Millersville's first game is against Urbana University of Ohio with a game time slated for 9 a.m. Thursday morning.
