Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Backed by a pair of strong pitching performances from juniors Pat Kregeloh and Shawn Patterson, the Shippensburg University baseball team won a pair of nine-inning games against Winston-Salem State and Davis & Elkins on Sunday from the BB&T Ballpark in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Raiders won the opener against the host Rams, 5-1, before shutting out the Senators, 6-0, in the nightcap.

The Raiders (4-1) out-scored their opponents by a 21-3 margin in three games this weekend, as Kregeloh kicked off Sunday with a complete game effort against Winston-Salem State, giving up four hits, zero earned runs and tying his career-high with seven strikeouts. Kregeloh was also a force at the plate, going 5-for-10 over both games and driving in four runs and hitting a three-run home run against Davis & Elkins.

Patterson earned his first victory of the season with a six-inning shutout effort against the Senators. He gave up three hits and fanned three. Freshman Rich Michaud, junior Austin Bartley and freshman Marcus Shippey each pitched a shutout inning of relief as the trio combined to give up just one hit.

Shippensburg will travel to Beckley, W.V. next weekend for a trio of games against Concord. The two teams will play a doubleheader beginning at noon on Saturday as well as a single game at 1 p.m. the next day.

Senior Simon Beloff went 4-for-5 in the opener as the Raiders scored three runs in the second, with senior catcher Tyler Shover scoring on an error in the outfield and both Beloff and junior third baseman Cal Hogan scoring on a two-RBI single to left field from freshman shortstop Mike Marcinko.

Shover and Beloff later ripped back-to-back singles with two outs in the seventh, and Shover scored on the next at-bat with an RBI single to center field from sophomore first baseman Cody Ezolt. Kregeloh led off the ninth inning with a double down the left-field line before advancing to third on a Shover groundout and scoring on a Beloff RBI single to right.

Shippensburg 6, Davis & Elkins 0

The Raiders scored in the first inning when junior center fielder and leadoff hitter Michael Douglas singled, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on another RBI groundout from senior right fielder Cody Kulp.

SU tacked on three more runs in the fifth inning with Kregeloh's blast that scored Douglas, who led off with a double, and Kulp, who reached base after being hit by a pitch. Kregeloh then added an RBI single in the seventh that plated Douglas before crossing home himself with a Shover single.
