Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Millersville, Pa. - Tad Barton delivered the record-setting 23rd victory of his Millersville pitching career and set with a 3-1 win in Sunday's doubleheader opener with Bloomsburg. The visiting Huskies, however, secured a series split by nipping the Marauders 4-2 in nine innings in game two.

Barton (4-2) gave Millersville (21-10, 8-4 PSAC East) 6.2 innings of one-run, four-hit pitching. Adam Zipko closed the win for his sixth save of the season. Barton moved past Timm Bromirski, Bradd Everly and Matt Wagner into sole possession of Millersville's all-time wins list and improved his career record to 23-9. The win was also the 200th of Jon Shehan's seven-year career.

Millersville pieced together seven hits in the opener and took advantage of two Bloomsburg first-inning errors to take an early lead. All three of the Marauders' runs come in the first two innings. Tyler Orris and Tyler McDonald drove in runs. McDonald's came on a sacrifice fly in the first and Orris drove in David Pine with a single in the second.

Bloomsburg's lone run came in the fourth with Tim Ravel drove in Nick Mazza with a two-out single. Barton worked into the seventh but issued back-to-back one-out walks. Zipko fanned the first batter he faced and ended the game with a fly out to right field.

In game two, Jim McDade (4-2) overcame a rocky first inning to pitch the longest outing of his career. He threw seven consecutive scoreless innings, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth and had retired 11 in a row as the game entered the ninth inning. Bloomsburg, however, strung together three singles in four at bats to break the 2-2 tie and hand McDade a hard-luck loss.

Millersville's offense had plenty of opportunities to score the win. Zach Stone delivered RBI singles in the first and third innings, but the team ran itself out of a potential big inning with a strikeout-caught stealing in the third. Millersville put the potential game-winning run on base in the sixth but failed to score.

In the seventh, Dan Neff swiped second base with one out and reached third on an infield single from Kurt Seiders. With one out, the Marauders attempted a squeeze play with Mark Stuckey, but Bloomsburg first baseman Joey Casselberry fielded the bunt cleanly and flipped it home to get Neff in a close play at the plate. The Marauders ended up stranding two runners in the seventh.

Orris led off the eighth with a single but was quickly caught stealing for the first out. Stone singled and Dan Johnson drew a walk to put the winning run at second. Bloomsburg reliever Cody Heane escaped with a fly out and a fielder's choice ground out in which the shortstop stepped on second for the third out. Heane sat the Marauders down in order in the ninth to improve to 2-1 on the season.

Orris and Stone combined for six of the team's eight hits and seven of the Marauders' hits came from the first three batters in the lineup.

Millersville travels to Lock Haven on Tuesday for a pair of PSAC East games.
