Millersville, Pa. – Brianna Andraos and Cassidy Pinchorski turned in a pair of dominant pitching performances on Thursday afternoon as the Millersville softball team cranked out a combined 15 hits in a two-game sweep of Shippensburg with scores of 7-0 and 4-3.

Millersville plated home its first run when Megan McCurdy reached on an error by the shortstop as Tori Kinsella scored. Chloe Collins walked Raeann Buskey that scored Brittany Smith. Jaynie Black slapped a single to right center field that plated home the Marauders fourth and fifth runs. Megan Hallock and Kinsella got into the RBI party slicing a pair of single to give Millersville the 7-0 lead.

In game two, Shippensburg opened the scoring in the top of the second off of an RBI double from Maddie Schafer. The Marauders would respond in the bottom half of the inning when Jaynie Black singled home Buskey from third base.

The score would remain 1-1 until the bottom of the fourth when Millersville used a pair of extra base hits to jump start the offense. Buskey began the inning with a leadoff single and scored on a RBI double off of the bat of Megan Hallock. The very next batter, Heather Lutz doubled to right field to plate home Hallock. Megan McCurdy gave the Marauders the 4-1 lead on a single to centerfield.

The Raiders nearly completed the comeback in the bottom of the seventh, but Andraos entered in the relief of Pinchorski and slammed the door shut for her first save of the season. Pinchorski (9-4) scattered 10 hits and struck out five across 6.2 innings of work.

Heather Lutz was scorching at the dish finishing the doubleheader with three doubles and an RBI to improve her batting average to .329.
