East Stroudsburg, Pa. - Kaylor Kulina's three hits, two runs and two RBIs along with 2 1/3 shutdown innings from the bullpen led Millersville to a 6-4 win over East Stroudsburg in game one of Sunday's PSAC East doubleheader. Millersville could not complete the series sweep, however, stranding 10 runners in a 1-0 game two loss.

Millersville (25-14, 13-7 PSAC East) has now won six consecutive season series against East Stroudsburg, dating to 2013. The three wins also moved Millersville into a tie for second in the PSAC East with West Chester, two games out of first, with two four-game series left to play.

GAME ONE
Leadoff hitter Kaylor Kulina provided the spark for the Marauders' offense, starting with his first at bat. A double followed by Ben Snyder's RBI single put Millersville on the board two batters into the game. By the fourth inning, Kulina had three hits, two runs and his two-run single boosted Millersville's lead to 6-3.

Starter Tyler Yankosky retired the first six batters he faced and worked into the fifth before ESU cut Millersville's lead to 6-4 on a Carson Freeman RBI single. With two outs and the tying run on first base, Millersville called Bobby Dorta from the bullpen. Dorta quickly got clean-up hitter Christian Rishel to fly out, ending the threat. Dorta struck out two in the sixth and the leadoff hitter in the seventh. Christian Wingard was handed the ball for a lefty-lefty match-up with Freeman, and he got the final out for his second save in as many days.

Snyder, Eric Callahan and Luke Trainer all had two hits. Dominic Hardaway drove in two runs with a double.

GAME TWO
Millersville drew five walks and totaled five hits but could not cash in on its scoring opportunities. The Marauders had at least two runners on base in four innings and loaded the bases in the fourth and sixth.

Millersville starter Drew Miller breezed through the ESU lineup for five innings, giving up just one single and allowing just three total basesrunners. ESU finnaly got to Miller in the sixth, though. Immediately after the Marauders stranded the bases loaded, the first four Warriors to the plate singled. A wild pitch moved Charles Edwards into scoring position, and Freeman's single broke the tie. Mike Mock ended the jam by inducing a 4-6-3 double play, but the damage was done.

Millersville was retired in order in the seventh by reliever Matt Durkin, who pitched two shutout innings after Nate Fiala went five, giving up three hits and five walks.
