The Shippensburg University baseball team scored double-digit runs for a second consecutive game Wednesday as it earned a road victory at Wilmington (Del.), 10-5, in New Castle, Del. at Wilson Field.
 
Shippensburg (7-10) is averaging more than 10 runs per game across its past four contests as the Raiders pounded out 15 hits on Wednesday afternoon. The Raiders trailed 2-1 entering the fourth inning when they batted around, scoring five runs on six hits.
 
Freshman Evan Moore started the scoring in the fourth by recording his first career hit and RBI on a single to center field that scored sophomore Nick Spangler, who tripled to lead off the inning.
 
Later in the fourth, sophomore Grant Hoover doubled home two runs while senior Austin Allison hit an RBI double and junior Ryan McMillen hit an RBI single.
 
The Raiders had six different pitchers throw on Wednesday as they combined to scatter 13 hits and allow just four earned runs. Sophomore Gabe Mosser started and allowed only an unearned run in two innings. Wilmington was able to score three runs off senior Seth LeFever in his two frames to cut the SU lead to 6-4 through four innings.
 
Earning his first career win was freshman Zack Sims, who blanked Wilmington in the fifth and sixth innings while allowing just a single. Senior Kyle McClintock, senior Thomas Swartz and junior Josh Kutchey each pitched an inning to finish things off for the Raiders.
 
Wilmington (2-11) was able to cut the Raiders' lead to 6-5 with a run in the bottom of the seventh inning, but SU responded with four runs in the top of the eighth to pull away.
 
Senior Mike Marcinko tripled in a run while Hoover added another RBI with a single to left. Hoover finished 3-for-6 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Pinch hitters, sophomore Dustin LaBonte and freshman Jack Goertzen, both drove in a run as LaBonte hit a sacrifice fly and Goertzen drew a bases loaded walk.
 
Allison continued his fine start to the season, going 3-for-6 with a run scored. Spangler and Marcinko both had two hits and a run scored. Marcinko, sophomore Dalton Hoiles and freshman Cash Gladfelter all stole a base for SU. The Raiders are 27-for-31 stealing bases this season.
 
The 15 hits were a season high for SU as the Raiders have recorded at least nine hits in each of the last seven games, including 10 or more in five of the last seven contests.
