WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Junior Pat Kregeloh limited the nation's eighth-best offense to just five hits in a complete-game effort Thursday but the Shippensburg University baseball team was nonetheless dispatched by No. 3 seed Seton Hill, 4-1, in Game 3 of the 2013 NCAA Atlantic Regional Tournament.

Shippensburg (28-21) will need a win tomorrow when it faces Atlantic Region No. 1 seed Millersville at 2:30 p.m. after the Marauders defeated Concord, 5-4, in the opening game of the tournament. Seton Hill (40-15) will take on East Stroudsburg (34-16) at 6 p.m.; the Warriors defeated host Winston-Salem State by an 8-6 score in 10 innings.

The Raiders managed eight hits against Seton Hill's talented southpaw Alex Haines and reliever Mike Bittel but struggled at inopportune times, going 1-for-13 at the plate with runners on base. SU managed at least one base runner in eight of nine innings.

Senior Tyler Shover went 3-for-4 and provided Shippensburg's only run of the game, launching a line drive in the second inning that rose over the right-center field fence for his second homer of the season and gave the Raiders a 1-0 lead. Shover also singled in the fourth and the ninth.

Two Raiders reached base twice, as senior Simon Beloff added a pair of doubles while freshman Mike Marcinko had a single and a walk.

Kregeloh was highly effective on the mound. His final pitching line included just two walks to go along with seven strikeouts. He faced one batter over the minimum through the first three innings, and escaped a jam in the fourth with a strikeout and flyout.

The Griffins loaded the bases in the sixth on a throwing error, double and walk. Kregeloh responded by inducing a slow liner to short, but an error resulted in two runners scoring on the play. After a sacrifice bunt and a hit by pitch re-loaded the bases with one out, Kregeloh struck out the next two batters to end the scoring threat. Both runs charged against him in the frame were unearned.

The only other runs of the game came in the eighth on a two-run homer by Seton Hill's Josh Forbes. The Raider stranded a runner in each of the last three innings.
