The Shippensburg University baseball team provided plenty of offense again Saturday, winning the opener at Bloomsburg, 8-5, before falling 18-9 in the nightcap of a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader on a brilliantly sunny afternoon from Danny Litwhiler Field. SU clinched a berth in the PSAC Tournament with its seed still to be determined.
 
Shippensburg (22-20, 15-9 PSAC East) wins the season series with Bloomsburg (11-17, 10-14) for the first time since 2011, taking three of four games from the Huskies and scoring a total of 40 runs. At the plate, SU batters hit .439 with 11 doubles and eight home runs.
 
Sophomore Ryan McMillen continued his hot streak on Saturday, hitting 6-for-8 with three home runs, a double, two walks, five RBIs and three runs scored. Over his last ten games, McMillen is 20-for-39 (.513 average) with eight extra-base hits, nine RBIs and 12 runs.
 
Freshman Nick Spangler hit 4-for-6 with a double, two runs and two walks. He wraps up a stellar series against the Huskies hitting 9-for-12 with two doubles, four runs, two walks and an RBI.
 
Junior Austin Allison finished 4-for-8 with a home run while Ezolt hit his ninth round-tripper of the year and finished 3-for-7 with three RBIs, three runs and a walk.
 
In Game 1, the Raiders trailed 5-3 after the third inning but added a run in the fourth and fifth to draw even. In the sixth inning, McMillen hit a solo home run that proved to be the game-winning tally. Senior Cody Ezolt added some insurance runs when he doubled-home sophomore Jake Kennedy and later scored on an error.
 
Sophomore Mark Curtis pitched a complete game, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while striking out six and walking two.
 
In Game 2, Shippensburg scored four runs in the opening frame, however, Bloomsburg responded with a 10-run home half of the inning and kept the Raiders at arm's length the rest of the way, scoring a combined eight runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
 
Freshman Dalton Hoiles hit his first collegiate home run – a solo shot in the fifth inning of the nightcap – and finished the day 4-for-8.
 
Junior Kyle McClintock allowed an unearned run in 1.1 innings of relief in Game 2.
 
Shippensburg hosts Shepherd on Tuesday at 1 p.m. in a non-conference doubleheader from Fairchild Field.
