Millersville, Pennsylvania - Cordell Shannon's complete game shutout in Sunday's opener gave Millersville a 1-0 victory, but Shippensburg's Jake Kennedy hit two home runs and drove in four to give Shippensburg a 6-4 win in the nightcap, spoiling Millersville's chance to clinch a PSAC Tournament berth. The Marauders now must wait for help from Mansfield on Monday.

After losing three of four from Shippensburg, the Marauders need East Stroudsburg to lose one game at Mansfield in Monday's doubleheader. Sunday's split put Millersville at 33-17 overall and 15-13 in the PSAC East. Shippensburg (28-20-1, 19-9 PSAC East) locked up a No. 2 seed in the upcoming PSAC Tournament.

The Marauders struggled to find a key hit all series. Millersville totaled just six runs in the series, and after mustering seven hits on Saturday, it totaled 10 hits in Sunday's doubleheader. Millersville won game one despite scoring just one run on two hits. Shannon (4-4) more than made up for Millersville's lack of offense, holding Shippensburg to three hits in his first shutout of the season.

Millersville built a 3-0 lead in game two but left runners on base or ran into an out on the base paths in each of the next five innings. Kennedy's first homer was a three-run shot in the fifth, and his second, which tied the PSAC record for homers in a season with 21, came in the seventh.

If the Marauders reach the PSAC Tournament, play begins on May 10 in Johnstown, Pa.

GAME 1
Shannon escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first and quickly settled, retiring 13 in a row until Ryan McMillen led off the sixth with a single. But Shannon struck out six and pitched his way to his third complete game of the season.

Millersville's lone run came in the fifth, and came without a hit. Jimmy Cain led off with a walk, and Manning Brookens followed with another. Eric Callahan sacrifice bunted the runners into scoring position, and Williams' fly to center scored Cain.

Shippensburg started the seventh with a single from Dalton Hoiles, but Chas McCormick pegged him trying to stretch the base hit into a double. Shannon struck out Jake Goertzen, and first baseman David Summerfield made a nifty catch in foul territory on a Drew Bene pop up to end the game.

Williams also doubled in the third, and Mitch Stoltzfus doubled in the sixth.

GAME 2
Callahan and Williams delivered back-to-back, bases loaded singles and McCormick's sacrifice fly put Millersville in front 3-0 in the second. The Marauders put runners on second and third with one out int he third but failed to get the run home.

Shippensburg chipped into the deficit with a pair of runs in the fourth, both credited to starter Bobby Dorta, who gave up a walk and two singles before being pulled. Millersville stayed with Matt Ulrich to start the fifth, and he walked the first to batters of the inning. Mike Mock was called from the pen, but Kennedy hit the first pitch he saw over the left-center field wall, giving Shippensburg a 5-3 lead.

Williams pulled Millersville within one in the sixth with his second RBI single of the game. But in the seventh, Kennedy's solo shot expanded Ship's lead to two. Millersville managed only one base runner on a hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the inning as Michael Hope nailed down his fifth save of the season.
