Bloomsburg, Pa. - Homestanding Bloomsburg scored 11 runs on 11 hits and capitalized on five errors from the Millersville softball team to take game one at home, 11-4, before the Marauders were able to salvage one game in the season series by taking game two, 7-4.

Millersville (20-23, 10-16 PSAC East) is one of three teams along with Shippensburg and Lock Haven that are two games out of the fourth-place spot in the Eastern Division, currently held by East Stroudsburg. All four of those teams will play their final doubleheader of the regular season on Saturday. The Huskies (23-11, 18-6 PSAC East), meanwhile, are entrenched in the No. 2 spot in the division, but have a chance to win the division title with two wins on the season's final day.

Freshman pitcher Cassidy Pinchorski (9-13) was not herself on Friday in game one as she lasted just four innings and gave up nine runs, six earned, on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts. That marked the most runs and earned runs the rookie had given up to date as she didn't have her best stuff.

Stephanie Kulp provided two innings of relief and gave up two earned runs on four hits while walking and striking out one batter apiece.

Offensively, all four of the Marauders' game-one runs came by way of the long ball. Brittany Smith hit a solo shot in the bottom of the fourth to give herself six home runs on the season and seven career blasts. In the fifth, Jordan Sheffield became the program's all-time leader in home runs with 13 thanks to a three-run blast over the fence in right-center field. Sheffield passed Angela Lutz's mark of 12 set back in 1993 and still has a season left to play. Those two are tied for the team lead in roundtrippers with six.

B. Smith's shot pulled the visitors within one (2-1) and Sheffield's tied the game (4-4) but Bloomsburg's offense was just too much to handle in the end.

In game two, Millersville went up 3-0 early thanks to RBI hits from Danielle DiFilippo and Heather Lutz in the first and Lutz scoring on a catcher's throwing error in the fourth. The home team answered though and scored four unanswered runs, all of which came across in the fifth, to take a 4-3 lead.

The Marauders had the last laugh though as they scored four straight runs of their own in the sixth and seventh innings. In the top of the sixth, Kelsey Campbell doubled home B. Smith and in the seventh, the scoring continued. B. Smith singled home Sheffield, Maria Spinosa scored on a wild pitch and B. Smith scored after Lutz reaced on an error by the second baseman.

Brianna Andraos improved to 11-10 with the complete-game performance that included four runs given up, three earned, on seven hits with five free passes and five punchouts.

B. Smith was the offensive leader on the day as she went 3-for-7 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBIs.

Saturday, Millersville will round out its regular season schedule with a doubleheader at Lock Haven set to begin at 1 p.m.
