Shannon's Gem Helps Marauders to Game Two Win
3/31/2016 5:16:00 PM | Baseball
East Stroudsburg, Pa. - Millersville freshman pitcher Cordell Shannon held the PSAC's No. 1 offense in check and a two-run single from Ben Snyder helped the Marauders to a 2-1 win in game two of Friday's doubleheader against No. 12 East Stroudsburg. The Warriors won the opener by a 7-2 final.
Junior catcher Mitch Stoltzfus hit a solo homer in his final at bat of game one and doubled in game two to stretch his hitting streak to 25 games, moving him ahead of Mike Van Gavree (1990) and into sole possession of the Millersville record for longest hitting streak.
East Stroudsburg (23-6, 7-3 PSAC East) entered the series with a .372 team batting average, but the rookie Shannon (4-1) worked into the seventh inning and allowed only one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six. Snyder's run-scoring single came in the second, and while the Marauders (24-3, 8-2 PSAC East) totaled seven hits in 5.1 innings off of starter Tyler Eckman (4-2), that was all the runs they would get.
Shannon retired 10 consecutive batters from the first through the fourth and escaped a sticky spot in the sixth when Jay Young led off the inning with a single and Robert Bennie followed with a single. Shannon, however, got Ian Allen to roll into a 4-6-3 double play and Connor Crookham to ground out to Tyler Orris at shortstop.
The Warriors' lineup put pressure on Shannon in the seventh. Drew Hercick drew a walk and the next batter followed with a single but was cut down at second on a base-running miscue. That defensive play kept the tying run off base, but only momentarily. Reliever Matt Ulrich entered and forced Christian Rishel to ground out, but Hercick scored on the play, cutting Millersville's lead to one. Dylan Boisclair was called from the bullpen but walked the one batter he faced. Freshman Mike Mock was then handed the ball and he promptly walked his fast batter, putting the go-ahead run on first base. Mock, however, forced Jay Young to hit a ground ball to Ted Williams, who flipped the ball to Orris for a force out at second, ending the game. The save was Mock's second of the season.
East Stroudsburg won the opener after scoring four runs in the opening inning off of Marauder starter Brandon Miller (5-1). Miller had allowed a total of five earned runs in his first 41.2 innings and had allowed just 17 hits all season. But the first four Warriors to the plate all recorded hits including Ian Allen, who hit a two-run homer in the second at bat. ESU totaled six hits in the first.
Miller bounced back with two strikeouts in the second, but ESU pushed in two more runs on two more hits in the third. Miller went the full six innings but the seven runs he allowed were three more than he had allowed in any of his previous 27 career starts.
Trailing 6-0 after three, Millersville scored its first run in the fourth when Jeremy Musser doubled in Dan Stoltzfus. Mitch Stoltzfus hit a solo homer in the seventh to keep set the Millersville hit streak record.
ESU starter Matt Festa (7-0) stayed unbeaten and struck out eight while scattering six hits.
