Frieds' bat leads Marauders to split against Shippensburg

Millersville returns home tomorrow to take on Lock Haven

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Millersville University softball team (17-15, 5-1 PSAC) split their doubleheader against the Shippensburg Raiders on Friday afternoon, winning game one by a final of 11-2 before being shutout 7-0 in game two.

REACTION FROM HEAD COACH JEN PROBST:
On Frieds four RBI game: "Sami was more aggressive later in the game and was able to make adjustments quickly."
On Schaefers complete game: "Al's very competitive and is always trying to win each pitch. Her ability to hit spots and work ahead has helped her sit batters down."
On the quick turnaround for tomorrow: "Lock Haven's a good program and never an easy win, no one is in our conference this year. Should be a great doubleheader of softball."
 
UP NEXT
The Marauders have a quick turnaround with a home doubleheader tomorrow, Saturday April 16, against the Lock Haven Bald Eagles. First pitch is set for noon.
