MILLERSVILLE - Cassidy Smith went two for three with a double in game one and Joelle Snyder went three for four with a run scored in game two, but it was not enough as Mansfield dropped both ends of a doubleheader at Millersville on Saturday.

GAME 1

Millersville (12-12, 0-0 PSAC) would put their foot on the gas offensively, scoring eleven runs and defeating Mansfield (6-5, 0-0 PSAC) 11-3 in five innings. 

The Marauders would start the scoring with an RBI single off the bat of Faith Willenbrock to take an early 1-0 lead. The Mounties would respond with a run of their own, an RBI double from Cassidy Smith who would finish two for three with a double and an RBI on the day. 

The Marauders would add two more runs in the second, with an RBI single from Allie Janowiak starting the inning. Traffic on the bases would allow another run to score on a groundout by Brianna Battavio to push the Millersville lead to 3-1. The Mounties would respond with two runs of their own in the visitors half of the fourth inning, tying the score on back-to-back bases loaded walks by Joelle Snyder and Alli McGovern.

This would be the end of the scoring for Mansfield, as just the start for Millersville who would add eight runs over the next two innings, including a long three-run home run off the bat Hunter Little. The defense was not a friend to Arianna Young, who took the loss going four innings, allowing 9 runs with only three earned while striking out four. 

Catherine Johnson took the win for Millersville in relief of Emma Bevard, going an inning and two thirds without allowing a run and striking out two. 

GAME 2

Millersville (13-12, 0-0 PSAC) got the scoring started early, with catcher Faith Willenbrock driving in Allie Janowiak on an RBI single. This would be the only scoring until the third inning, when Mansfield (6-6, 0-0 PSAC) got a spark off a Leah McGovern double, scoring Shaelyn Marx to tie the game at one. 

Alexis Easling would follow McGovern, helping her own cause with a long homerun over the center field fence to give the Mounties a 3-1 fourth inning lead. Millersville responded with a crushing bottom of the fifth, scoring six runs including three long balls off the bat of Hunter Little, Rebecca Blatt, and Maggie Murphy stretching the Millersville lead to 8-3 in the fifth. 

Mansfield would add a run on a sacrafice fly by Anastasia Hester in the 6th and an RBI single by Deshae Jones in the 7th, but it would not be enough as the Mounties fell to the Marauders 8-6 in the nightcap. Maddie Guinane would get the win for Millersville going five innings allowing four runs and striking out two. 

Mansfield will return to action tomorrow afternoon as they travel Bowie, Maryland to take on Bowie State University for a double header scheduled for 1 and 3 p.m.
