Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Millersville, Pa. – Shippensburg rolled into Millersville Saturday afternoon with a five-game winning streak, hoping to extend it to seven and remain unbeaten in PSAC East play. After ceding the first game to the Raiders by a final of 6-0, the Marauders rebounded to halt the division leader's win streak and hand Ship its first loss in divisional play behind 11 strikeouts from sophomore pitcher Sarah Bertoni.
 
Game one was reminiscent of the first game of Friday's doubleheader against Kutztown, as the Marauder bats couldn't get going. The home team managed just five hits, one each from Jordan Sheffield, Gabbie Berry, Ashley Cantiello, Stephanie Kulp and Brianna Andraos. It was the third time the team had been shut out all season.
 
Millersville's best inning came in the final one, as the Marauders only had three hits to that point in the ballgame. With two outs Kulp and Andraos, who took the ball to start in the circle of game one, strung together back-to-back base knocks before the threat was ended by Raider starter Makenzie Lynn. Lynn tossed a complete game, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out 11. Ship scored a run each in the first, third, fourth and sixth, and posted two fifth-inning runs in the win.
 
Bertoni willed the team to victory in the second game by tossing another complete game, her 13^th of the season. She pitched five-hit ball, allowing just one unearned run and punching out 11 batters, a career-high for the second year pitcher. With the win, she upped her record to 12-4 and is now just one victory shy of tying the Marauder softball record for wins in a season.
 
After the Raiders took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, Millersville went to work, answering with a run in the bottom half of the same inning and scoring the eventual winning run in the fifth inning. Even with the win, the home team actually mustered fewer hits off game two starter Emily Estep, putting just four runners on base courtesy of hits. Sheffield, Berry and Bertoni were the only players to notch a hit in the back end of the day's two-game set.
 
With the game in a scoreless deadlock through the first three innings of play, Ship struck first in the top of the fourth, pushing a run across on a Jessie Trammell double. The Marauders responded in their half of the fourth when Danielle DiFilippo led off with a walk. In the next at-bat, Berry punched an Estep offering over the head of the leftfielder for an RBI double.
 
Millersville broke the 1-1 tie in the team's next at-bat. Bertoni, who helped herself at the plate by going 2-for-2, led off the fifth inning with a single. After Bertoni was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, she scored on the next at-bat by Ginely Ortiz-Marrero. Ortiz-Marrero hit a grounder toward second baseman Jordi Darchicourt, which Darchicourt booted into right field for an error. Bertoni was running all the way, and scored easily from second on the play.
 
That lead was all the sophomore needed, as she set down the Raiders in order in the sixth and seventh innings to preserve the team's 23^rd win of the year. With the game two win, Millersville improved its record to 23-9 on the season and 3-3 in PSAC East play, while handing the Raiders their first loss in six divisional games.
 
The Marauders get back in action Tuesday afternoon at West Chester when they take on the Golden Rams. That PSAC East doubleheader starts at 2:30 p.m.
