Game 1 Box || Game 2 BoxThe No. 18 Shippensburg University baseball team managed just six hits Saturday in its road PSAC East doubleheader at regional rival Millersville, dropping a pair of pitcher's duels by scores of 2-1 and 2-0 from Cooper Park.
Shippensburg (22-10, 9-7 PSAC East) got complete-game efforts on the mound from senior
Pat Kregeloh and sophomore
Rich Michaud, as the duo combined to allow just three earned runs and one walk in 12 innings. Kregeloh threw 84 pitches in the opener, fanning three, while Michaud only threw 67 pitches in the nightcap and struck out two.
SU's lone run of the day came in the first inning of Game 1. Senior
Michael Douglas walked to lead off the game, stole second, moved to third on a balk, and scored on a two-out single by Kregeloh.
