Taylor sets triples record as Marauders roll past Mansfield

MANSFIELD, Pa. - Even after the three-hour bus ride early Tuesday morning, the 12th-ranked Millersville Marauders were sharp in the field and at the plate, playing an error-free game while totaling 12 hits and three home runs in a 13-6 PSAC East victory over Mansfield. 

The Marauders (22-4) won their seventh consecutive game and improved to 6-0 in the PSAC East for the second consecutive season. Bren Taylor went 3-for-5 and his eighth-inning triple was the 12th of his career, setting a new Millersville record and moving him ahead of teammate Jimmy Losh, Dan Neff '16 and Chas McCormick '17. John Seibert, Matthew Williams and Sam Morris all hit home runs. Seibert went 2-for-4, stole a base and scored three times. Chase Simmons also had two hits, two runs, a steal and two RBIs.

Colby Gromlich (1-0) opened the game with a clean first inning, and Millersville then utilized six pitchers over the final eight innings. Nate Young, the third pitcher of the game, tossed a team-high 2 1/3 and struck out three batters. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Millersville scored all 13 of its runs from the second to the fifth innings, and it jumped out to an early lead thanks to Seibert's two-out, two-run homer. Simmons followed Seibert with a single, steal of second base, and he scored on a Mansfield error. While the Mountaineers pushed two runs across in the bottom of the second, Millersville quickly extended its lead. Thomas Caufield scored on another error in the third, and in the fourth, Sam Morris smashed a three-run homer. Matthew Williams made it back-to-back blasts with a solo shot, capping a five-run inning. In the fifth, Simmons drove in a run with a double, Losh plated a run with a sacrifice fly, and Taylor scored Simmons with an RBI single. 
• Millersville led 13-2 before Mansfield tacked on runs over the final four frames. 


REACTION FROM COACH JON SHEHAN
• On the team's performance: "We did what we needed to do. We came out swinging the bats and played good defense. Nate Young and Rece Ritchey were very good in the middle innings. It was great to see Colby Gromlich out there feeling good. We are excited to build him up in the second half."

UP NEXT
• Millersville is off until March 31 when it hosts Lock Haven for a nine-inning game at Cooper Park.
