ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• Millersville is certainly hoping that a doubleheader sweep of USciences on Tuesday will propel it to a strong finish. While the Marauders are ranked No. 22 in Division II, a 5-7 start to PSAC East play has put them in a tie for sixth place and outside of the playoffs. However, four series and 16 league games remain. This weekend's series against East Stroudsburg is pivotal as the Warriors enter at 5-6-1 in league play. 
• In game one of Tuesday's doubleheader, Millersville trailed USciences 5-0 after four innings, but Ben Snyder completed a seventh-inning rally with a game-tying, three-run home run. Dan Neff then delivered a two-run double in the eighth to help the Marauders win. Millersville rolled to a 13-3 win in game to. It was the team's most runs scored in 15 games.
• Chas McCormick became Millersville's all-time hits leader after totaling five hits in the doubleheader against USciences. McCormick's 276 is one past Tyler Orris and he is now 28 shy of the PSAC record. McCormick needed just 742 at bats to break the record. Orris totaled 816 in his career. McCormick also scored four runs on the day, which moves him into a tie with Orris for the career record for runs scored at 198. McCormick is 12 shy of the program's RBI record as well.
• Since going 0-for-6 to end the Mansfield series, McCormick has gone 10-for-17 with 10 runs, six RBIs, three homers and five walks over the last six games. He now ranks in the PSAC's top 10 in hits, runs, RBIs and steals.
• Ted Williams ranks second in the PSAC in walks, and the junior not only holds the team's longest consecutive games reached base streak at 14, he is now on an 11-game streak. He has at least one hit in eight of the last 10 games.
• Millersville has started three freshmen in left field for 31 of 32 games. The trio of Manning Brooks, Cole Friese and Brandon White have combined to hit 36-for-121 (.297) with 21 RBIs.

The Marauders are 4-0 with White in the lineup, 10-5 with Brookens in left and 7-6 with Friese in left.
