SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team wrapped up a great week of play on Sunday afternoon from Fairchild Field with a 13-0 victory over Clarion. The Raiders scored runs in each of the first four innings, including eight in the third.

Shippensburg (6-10) got five shutout innings from junior Ted Williams, who allowed just three hits and did not walk a batter while recording four strikeouts. Freshman #R.J. Grant and junior Kody Kibler# each pitched a shutout inning of relief – with Kibler striking out three of the four batters he faced in the seventh.

Junior Eric Herman singled and sophomore Sam Phillips doubled to lead off the bottom of the first. Junior Ben Miller plated Herman on a groundout and Phillips eventually scored on a double steal with senior Jesse Smith.

Herman got an RBI in the second inning on a fielder's choice and Phillips smacked a sacrifice fly to put the Raiders up by four runs after two innings.

The offensive star of the day was Smith, who certainly had a memorable third inning. Smith cranked the first pitch of his econd at-bat onto the hill over the right-center field fence to put Shippensburg up 5-0. SU chased Golden Eagle starter Bill Hasson after back-to-back doubles by junior Tyler Uphouse and sophomore Steve Sulcoski.

Shippensburg scored six unearned runs in the inning against reliever Seth Peterson, the last three of which were once again off the bat of Smith - who bookended the frame with a three-run homer that landed in virtually the same spot on the hill.

Smith's feat is the only second known occurrence in school history. In 1994, Tut Bailey hit two home runs in the fourth inning of Shippensburg's infamous 37-17 win over Lewis -  a game in which the two teams combined for numerous NCAA single-game records.

Another run came across the plate in the fourth inning on an RBI-single by Herman, who finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs. Junior Jimmy Miller was 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs while freshman Pat Kregeloh was 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs.

Clarion (2-11), which concluded an eight-day, 13-game road trip on Sunday, got two of its five hits from leadoff hitter Jerico Weitzel. The Golden Eagles and the Raiders agreed to end the game after the top of the seventh inning due to the 10-run rule.

Shippensburg finished the week with wins in five of its six games, including four-in-a-row. The Raiders outscored the opposition 51-21; hit .342 as a team, and stole 20 bases.

On Tuesday, Shippensburg will host IUP in a 1 p.m. crossover doubleheader from Fairchild Field.
