HOW IT HAPPENED
- Seton Hill struck first, scoring a run in the top of the first inning off of Marauder starter Alex Schaefer. Schaefer would allow five runs (four earned) over 3 1/3 innings of work, striking out three while giving up five hits.
- The Marauders took their only lead of the game in the second inning as Millersville plated two, going ahead 2-1. Alexis Harkins came through with a two-run blast to center, scoring Hunter Little.
- The Griffins took the lead for good in the third as Seton Hill responded with two runs of their own, taking a 3-2 lead. The Griffins put another two runs on the board in the top of the fourth, adding to their total.
- Millersville again responded, scoring one in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Gabby D'Ottavio, as Little scored her second run of the game.
- A five run fifth by Seton Hill would put the game out of reach as the Griffins went ahead 10-3.
- Little would again lift the Marauder offense as she hit an RBI double down the left field line, scoring Kendra Bumgardner and cutting the deficit to six.
- Seton Hill would score again in the sixth, adding to their total for the fourth consecutive inning. The 11-4 score would hold over the final frame as Millersville was unable to bounce back after the big fifth inning by Seton.
- Only four of the 11 Seton Hill runs were earned, as the Marauders committed nine errors in the loss.
- Little led the charge for Millersville, going 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and an RBI.
- Seton Hill outhit Millersville 12 to six.
