Box Score West Lawn, Pa. – Seton Hill went on the attack early and Millersville never recovered in an 8-2 loss Saturday in the NCAA Atlantic Regional. Millersville now needs a win at 8 p.m. Saturday evening to continue its season.
 
Seton Hill (39-15) chased Marauder starter Jim McDade (6-2) with five runs on eight hits in just three innings, and the Marauder lineup provided little assistance, mustering just one hit through six innings against Griffins' starter Jordan Fuller (5-1). The Griffins went on to out-hit Millersville 16-8, stole five bases and capitalized on three Marauder errors. Seven of the nine leadoff hitters reached base with a hit. Millersville has now gone 21 consecutive innings without a 1-2-3 inning.
 
Seton Hill, which ended Millersville's 2013 season in the Atlantic Regional, has now won the three match-ups since 2012 by a combined 29-6 score.
 
Brendan Constantino led off the top of the first with a single, but McDade quickly retired the next two batters and looked to be on his way to a scoreless inning when Cody Herald hit a pop up to the first base side of the pitcher's mound. Millersville, however, was unable to make the play, and Costantino raced home from second base to score. That was not the last of Millersville's defensive miscues that proved costly.
 
Seton Hill received three singles and scored a run in the second and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases for No. 3 hitter Nick Sell. Sell delivered a two-run double to boost the lead to 4-0. The Griffins plated a run with a RBI triple in the third.
 
Millersville put two runners on base in the second inning, but Fuller retired 10 consecutive Marauders until Chas McCormick singled up the middle with one out in the sixth. Seton Hill stretched the lead to 6-0 before the Marauders scored their first run in the eighth. Zach Stone brought home a run with a sacrifice fly, but the bases were left loaded, squelching hopes of a comeback. Kurt Seiders, who went 3-for-4 on the day, scored the team's second run in the ninth on a McCormick sacrifice fly.
 
Millersville's pitching staff has allowed 32 hits in the last two games, and the defense has committed eight errors in the three regional games. The offense has mustered just 10 runs in its last four postseason games and has scored more than five runs in just four of its last 18 games.
 
Tanner Rahauser threw two shutout innings in relief. John Brogan also threw a shutout inning. Josh Mellon gave up one earned run—three total—in three innings.
 
Millersville plays the winner of the Shepherd/Kutztown game at 8 p.m. Saturday evening. The winner advances to play Seton Hill on Sunday and will need to wins to win the Atlantic Regional.
