Box Score Winston-Salem, N.C. – A season that included 40 victories and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Atlantic Regional for the second time in three seasons came to an end Saturday night one game shy of the regional title game. Seton Hill took advantage of a Division II record 12 hit batsmen, including a Division II record five in one inning, to eliminate Millersville by a 12-2 score.

Seton Hill (42-15) was limited to seven hits but capitalized on its 17 free passes. Mike Cima alone was hit four times, which also tied a Division II record. Millersville (40-18) starting pitcher Pat Kelley provided four solid innings (2-1) but everything came unraveled in the fifth when Seton Hill scored three runs without recording a hit. Five Griffins were plunked, two another drew a bases loaded walk and two sacrifice flies gave them a 4-0 lead.

Millersville was stifled by Bob Carbaugh (3-1) for the first six innings. The Marauders were held to just one hit until Kurt Seiders doubled with two outs in the seventh. Mark Stuckey followed with a two-run homer that cut Seton Hill's lead to 4-2.

The Griffins, however, pulled away in the bottom of the inning, though, posting three runs in the seventh. They poured it on in the eighth with five more.

Carbaugh surrendered just two runs on four hits over 6.2 innings, and Jordan Fuller took the ball the rest of the way. Millersville used six pitchers in the game. Five allowed at least one run.

Millersville totaled six hits, two of which came from Kurt Seiders.

Seton Hill now has two opportunities to defeat Shippensburg and punch its ticket to the NCAA Championship on Saturday. Millersville won the PSAC Eastern Division for a third time under Coach Jon Shehan and reached the NCAA Tournament for a second time in the last three. Millersville graduates Evan King, Jeff Heisey, Pat Kelley and Brian Black from its team, but nine of 10 positional starters are all expected to return in 2014.
