MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – The Millersville softball team scored 19 runs in two games on Wednesday to wrap up its non-conference schedule with a sweep of Bowie State.

The Marauders took game one by a score of 11-2 in five innings behind three RBI's from both Aleese Angelo and Gabby DiOttavio, and a solid four-inning outing from Kendra Bumgardner in the circle. The second win featured a two-RBI game from Alyssa Stover, D'Ottavio and Sam Fried as the score showed 8-4 at the end of the seventh.

Millersville improves to 21-19 this season and will now look towards the final stretch of its Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East schedule.

GAME ONE

Both Bowie State and Millersville scored a pair of runs in the first two innings, leaving the game tied after two. The Marauders scored both runs in the first inning, one on a passed ball that allowed Bumgardner to cross home and the other on a Gabi Turner RBI that scored Allyson Black.
Alyssa Stover would give 'Ville a 3-2 lead in third-inning action after drawing a bases-loaded walk that scored Angelo.
The Marauder offense erupted in the fifth, scoring eight runs on seven hits to force a mercy rule win. Black started the inning with a triple, which was followed by an Angelo walk and a D'Ottavio three-run homerun.
Angelo ended the game with a walk-off, three-RBI triple.
Bumgardner allowed just one earned run in four innings while striking out five Bulldog batters.
Both Angelo and Black recorded three-hit games in the win.

GAME TWO

Millersville started game two with a three-run first inning that featured RBI's from Fried, Stover and Turner, which gave them a 3-1 lead after one.
Bowie State would cut the lead to one in the second but not before the Marauders tacked on three additional runs in the third inning to extend their lead to 6-2.
'Ville and Bowie State would each score two runs in the final four innings, leading to the 8-4 victory.
