Mansfield, Pa. - The third-ranked Millersville baseball team polished off a four-game series sweep of Mansfield Saturday, taking a road doubleheader by scores of 8-2 and 13-2. The wins pushed Millersville's winning streak to 18 games and its record to 19-1.

The Marauders pulled within one win of Seton Hill's (2015) PSAC record for consecutive wins by sweeping Mansfield for the second consecutive season. The Marauders totaled 28 hits on Saturday, including five from David Summerfield, and four from Mitch Stoltzfus, John Brogan, Dan Stoltzfus and Tyler Orris. Mitch ran his hitting streak to 18 games and drove in five runs in the twinbill. 

Millersville had to play catch-up in the opener after Mansfield scored two runs on four singles in the second off of starter Jim McDade (3-0). The Marauders tied the game in the fourth when M. Stoltzfus and Brogan both smacked RBI singles. The game remained locked at 2-2 until the sixth when the Millersville bats caught fire. The first four batters of the inning reached base and all four scored. M. Stoltzfus drove in Chas McCormick with a RBi double and Summerfield followed by plating D. Stoltzfus with a single. With two outs, Ted Williams drove in M. Stoltzfus and Summerfield  with another single. M. Stoltzfus picked up his second RBI of the game in the seventh with a sacrifice fly.

After Mansfield totaled four hits in the second, McDade allowed only one more hit over the next four innings. He retired 12 of 13 batters he faced between the second and sixth innings. McDade finished with five strikeouts and no walks, improving his season total to 22 strikeouts to one walk in 22.1 innings. Stephen Muscovitch closed the game with a scoreless seventh.

The Marauder bats stayed hot in game two, totaling 17 hits and at least one run in five of seven innings. Mansfield had to burn through six pitchers and five of them gave up at least one run. Seven Marauders scored at least one run. Orris went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBIs, two steals and a walk. M. Stoltzfus drove in two with two singles. John Brogan, who finished with three RBIs and three hits, put the Marauders on the board on the second with a two-run home run--his fourth of the season.

Millersville has now recorded double-digit hits in 14 games and double-digit runs seven times. Summerfield, the No. 2 hitter in Division II in 2015 and just nine months removed from major knee surgery, entered the weekend with a .222 average and pushed it up to .313 after going 9-for-13 in the series.

Matt Ulrich (2-0) picked up the mound win in game two after throwing a perfect inning of relief. He was one of four Marauder relievers to keep Mansfield off the board. Starter Reid Anderson did not give up a hit in the first three innings but was replaced by Ulrich after Mansfield scored two in the fourth on a walk, two hit by pitches and a single.

Millersville travels to Chestnut Hill on March 22 for a nine-inning game.
