ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• Millersville enters the final series of the regular season ranked No. 17 in Division II, third in the NCAA Atlantic Region rankings and tied for third in the PSAC East standings. The Marauders hold a 2 1/2 game lead over East Stroudsburg, and any combination of two Millersville victories or two East Stroudsburg losses would clinch a PSAC Tournament berth for the Marauders--the eighth in the last 10 years and seventh in a row.
• Shippensburg has already clinched a berth in the PSAC Tournament but is playing for seeding, and the Raiders are also on the NCAA Tournament bubble, having been ranked No. 7 in the most recent release. There are five at-large selections and two automatic bids (PSAC and Mountain East Tournament winners), putting Shippensburg on the edge of field. Millersville, ranked third in the regional rankings, are third in the region in winning percentage.
• Millersville has won 13 of the last 15 games and six in a row. Since being held to one run in both games of the road Lock Haven doubleheader the Marauders have totaled 57 runs in six games, outscoring opponents by 37 runs.
• There may be no player in the league as red-hot at the plate as is Chas McCormick. The reigining PSAC East and NCBWA Atlantic Region Hitter of the Week, McCormick has an eight-game hitting streak and has totaled 15 hits and 11 runs scored in his last eight games. At Goldey-Beacom on Tuesday, McCormick became just the second player in PSAC history to reach 300 career hits. McCormick has upped his average to .408, which ranks seventh in the PSAC. He leads the league in hits and ranks seventh in runs, seventh in RBIs, tied for third in home runs and fifth in stolen bases. He and East Stroudsburg's Ian Allen are the only players in the league to have at least eight homers, 20 steals and 40 RBIs.
• Mitch Stoltzfus is also on a tear. He is riding a six-game hitting streak and has at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games. In that 12 game stretch, he totaled six multi-hit performances.
• With 35 walks drawn, Ted Williams in the PSAC leader. Williams set the single-season school record in 2016 with 46, and he already ranks fourth in Millersville history with 86 career walks.
• Holding opponents to a .242 batting average, Millersville's pitching staff ranks second in the PSAC in batting average against. The Marauders also rank third with 319 strikeouts, but the 160 walks are already 26 more than the team posted in 60 games last season. Eli Nabholz ranks 24th in Division II in strikeouts per nine innings. Nabholz has pitched back-to-back complete games and has allowed more than two runs in just one of his 11 starts.
