GLENVILLE, W.Va. - Playing through a driving snow in the early innings and out-lasting a lengthy snow delay, the sixth-ranked Millersville Marauders scored an 18-1 win over Glenville State Saturday afternoon.
Millersville (6-2) piled up 14 hits and 14 walks, and Sam Morris and Hunter Stevens both hit home runs. But as good as the Marauders were at the plate, they were even better on the mound. Four pitchers combined for 19 strikeouts to three walks, and the quartet did not allow a single earned run.
Colby Gromlich struck out six in three innings and got out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the first. Mike Costello (1-0) picked up his first career win with two shutout innings. Conor Cook fanned eight of the nine batters he faced, and Alex Kuehn pitched a perfect ninth.
Fifteen of the Marauders runs came in the first three innings. The Marauders scored three in the first after a couple of errors extended the inning. Morris' homer, a three-run blast, came in the second inning after back-to-back doubles from Amani Jones and Mark McNelly and Matthew Williams reaching via error. Nick O'Connor and McNelly also drove in two runs as the Marauders sent 12 to the plate.
Jones, McNelly, Morris, O'Connor and Jimmy Kirk all recorded two hits. O'Connor and Morris both drove in four, and McNelly totaled three RBIs. John Seibert drew four walks and added a single.
