Game 1 Box | Game 2 Box
 
Shippensburg, Pa. – Millersville carried the momentum of a two-game sweep of Bowie State into a crucial PSAC East showdown at Shippensburg and took one of two to stay in the playoff hunt, winning game one by a 3-2 margin but dropping the nightcap, 3-1. The game two loss also halted the team's three-game win streak.
 
Until the seventh inning of game one, the Marauders were held hitless, on the wrong side of what was shaping up to a 2-1 decision in favor of the Red Raiders. That was before Taylor Odell-Smith socked her first home run of the season to straight away center to lead off the seventh, tying the game at two.
 
The Marauders' starting pitcher, Alicia Hughes, was lifted to her fifth win of the season by her teammates when Allison Chew crossed the plate to put Millersville ahead on run-scoring single by Ashley Cantiello. Hughes gave the team a complete game start, allowing two runs (zero earned) on five hits, walking none and striking out four Red Raiders. Hughes pitched a perfect bottom of the seventh to secure the win.
 
The visiting Marauders, despite no hits through six innings, scored the game's first run in the third inning when Chew scored her first of two for the game. Chew touched home as Ally Homa reached on a Shippensburg fielding error. Millersville won this game ugly, as the teams combined for eight total errors, four apiece.
 
In the back end of the doubleheader, Millersville fought back to tie it after going down 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning. The team's lone run came on a Stephanie Kulp sacrifice fly in the fourth. Gabbie Berry scored the run after singling to start the inning.
 
Millersville was seeking more runs in the inning, threatening with the bases loaded. After Kulp's sacrifice scored Berry, Odell-Smith walked with a runner already on base. Starting pitcher Sarah Bertoni singled to jam the bases full of Marauders. Red Raider starter Makenzie Lynn, who allowed just four hits in her complete game, escaped the rest of the inning unscathed as she got the next two Millersville batters to pop up and fly out, respectively.
 
Shippensburg controlled the rest of the game, as Lynn allowed only one more base runner in the final three innings. The Red Raiders scored the winning run plus an insurance run in a two-run bottom of the sixth against Bertoni, who worked a complete game, allowing six hits and three earned runs while striking out three. Her record drops to 6-11.
 
The Marauders' record now stands at 14-22 overall, but more importantly 3-5 in the PSAC East. The team comes home for a date with California (Pa.) tomorrow. The Vulcans enter tomorrow's double dip with a 24-6 record and had been on a six-game win streak before losing the second half of their Friday doubleheader with Slippery Rock. Millersville is 4-5 all-time against Cal.
