Millersville, Pa. - The Millersville softball team collected 14 hits on Saturday in a doubleheader with Mansfield but stranded 15 runners on the afternoon while the Mountaineers were able to convert on their opportunies and took the sweep with scores of 5-1 and 6-3.

The Marauders' (19-21, 9-14 PSAC East) season-long winning streak of four games was snapped while Mansfield (10-18-1, 5-15 PSAC East) swept a doubleheader for only the second time this season and first time since doing so against Shaw on March 9. 

In game one, the visitors scored one in the first and three in the third to go up 4-0 before the hosts could ever really get anything going offensively. In the bottom of the fourth, Millersville's Heather Lutz walked before advancing to second on a groundout, to third on Stephanie Kulp's single, and then scored when Gabbie Berry singled her in. 

However, that was the only scoring the Marauders could muster as the Mountaineers added a fifth run in the fifth and went on to win by that same four-run margin.

Cassidy Pinchorski (9-12) lasted four and a third innings and gave up five earned runs on seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. Offensively, Millersville's one batter with multiple hits was Kulp who went 2-of-3 at the dish.

Game two saw Mansfield score six runs before the Marauders could get on the board and its scoring was split evenly between the first and fourth frames. In the bottom of the fifth, though, Maria Spinosa got the home team on the board with a single that pushed Mandy Hammond across the plate. During the next at-bat of the inning, Spinosa stole second and on the throw down to second base, Jordan Sheffield stole home to give Millersville its second run.

The scoring continued for the Marauders in the sixth when Hammond brought in Kelsey Campbell with an RBI groundout but that was all for Millersville who fell 6-3 in game two.

Brianna Andraos (10-9) lasted just 3.2 innings and gave up six runs, four earned, on seven hits with two free passes and five punchouts.

Kulp provided valuable pitching relief in both games and on the day, pitched six shutout innings with just two hits allowed, four walks, and four strikeouts. Both Spinosa and Berry collected two hits in the day's second contest.

The team's four seniors (pictured below with their families) were honored prior to the start of game one.

Next up, the Marauders travel to Kutztown on April 21 for a game that was suspended from April 7. The Golden Bears lead Millersville in that game 1-0 and action is scheduled to start up at 4 p.m.
