Bats stay hot as Marauders stretch winning streak to 11

WILMINGTON, Del. - Thomas Caufield and Bren Taylor combined for five extra-base hits, and the Millersville baseball team won its 20th game and 11th in a row by routing Wilmington 13-3 Wednesday afternoon. 

Millersville (20-5) is now a winner of 16 of its last 17 games and has scored double-digit runs eight times in that stretch. The Marauders have averaged 11.8 runs per game over the last eight games. On Wednesday at Wilmington, each of the first five hitters in the Millersville lineup recorded at least two hits, and Caufield led the group with a homer, double, single and three RBIs. Taylor also drove in three runs with a home run and a triple and scored three times. 

On the mound, starter Garet Blankenbiller tossed four innings with four strikeouts, allowing just one run on three hits. Evan Rishell fanned three and gave up two runs on four hits in four innings of relief work, and Jacob Paulishak pitched a scoreless ninth, giving him four consecutive appearances without a hit or run allowed. 

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
• Chase Simmons and Sam Morris put Millersville on the board in the fourth with back-to-back two-run doubles. Caufield's homer came in the fifth, and Taylor's, a two-run shot, followed in the sixth. That blast started a five-run inning that included a Jimmy Kirk two-run single. Taylor added an RBI triple in the seventh, and Caufield's sacrifice fly and RBI double capped Millersville's scoring. 
• While Millersville got eight strong innings from Blankenbiller and Rishell, Wilmington utilized nine different arms. 

NOTES
• The road win snapped a 10-game losing streak in games played at Wilmington, and it was Millersville's first win at Wilmington since Coach Jon Shehan played for the Marauders in 2001. The 13 runs scored were the most against Wilmington since 2008--Shehan's first year as Millersville's head coach.  
• Caufield's seven home runs through 25 games ties him for the 17th-most in a single season at Millersville, and it ties Eric Callahan's (2019) record for home runs by a Marauder shortstop. 

UP NEXT
• The Marauders host East Stroudsburg Friday for the start of a PSAC East series.
