WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Taylor Hillson recorded five hits on the day while Louis Sick and Chas Parsons each earned wins on the mound as Mansfield came away with a 5-3 victory over Penn College in the opener before taking the nightcap 3-2 in non-conference action at historic Bowman Field.

Mansfield got the scoring started in game one when Owen Lukens hit a lead-off double in the top of the second inning before scoring on Wes Custer's RBI triple. Scott Rockwell walked and stole second before Hillson scored Custer on a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 Mansfield. Eric Schanzenbacher reached with a single and then stole second. An error on the play allowed Rockwell to cross the plate. Defending PSAC East Athlete of the Week Westyn Baylor drove in the fourth run of the inning with an RBI double to center.
 
In the top of the fifth, back-to-back singles by Zephan Kash and Ryan Paige put runners at first and second, but Penn College put two away by forcing a double play. Custer's two-out double scored Kash from third to give the Mounties the 5-0 lead.
 
The Wildcats got just two hits on Sick through the first four innings and spoiled the shutout bid in the fifth when Jeremy Rall drove in a run with a sac fly to centerfield.
