The Shippensburg University softball team won a pair of games for the second straight day, defeating West Virginia State, 5-0, and Winston-Salem State, 10-2, in Saturday action from the UNC-Pembroke Tournament held on a chilly day at LRA Field.
 
Shippensburg (4-0) has scored at least five runs in each of its victories thus far. Junior Chloe Collins was once again paramount to the cause, going 5-for-8 at the plate on the day with three doubles, two stolen bases and four RBIs while also recording her first career complete-game shutout as a pitcher.
 
Junior Tara Bicko was 4-for-8 on the day, while junior Anna Warfield and freshman Kayla Bonawitz each collected three hits. Freshman Emily Zaring added three more RBIs to her season haul, giving her nine through the first four games.
 
In the opener against West Virginia State, SU got runs in the first inning off an RBI-double from Collins and an RBI-groundout by Zaring. The Raiders scored two more in the third, with Bicko delivering an RBI-single and Collins doubling home Bicko. Zaring added an RBI-single in the fifth.
 
Collins improved to 2-0 in the circle by scattering four singles, walking three and striking out three. She also worked around three SU errors.
 
Shippensburg was trailing 2-1 to Winston-Salem State after four innings in the nightcap before erupting for nine runs in its final three at-bats. A five-run fifth featured a two-run double from Collins, RBI-doubles from Zaring and Warfield, and an RBI-single from freshman Meghan Klee.
 
SU scored three unearned runs in the sixth, including one on an RBI-single from Warfield, and junior Macy Luck capped off the Raider scoring in the seventh with a bases-loaded walk. Freshman Micaela Ghanayem plated the first Raider run on an RBI-groundout in the fourth.
 
Sophomore Julia Tosti threw four innings for the win in Game 2, allowing two runs on four hits while walking three. She struck out one. Fellow sophomore Nicole Smith notched a three-inning save, striking out three batters in three scoreless innings of work.
 
After stealing eight bases in Friday's games, SU stole seven bases on Saturday. The Raiders have 15 stolen bases through four games after totaling 33 stolen bases in 43 games last season.
 
Shippensburg concludes its weekend at noon Sunday with a re-match against host UNC-Pembroke. First pitch will be less than 14 hours from the time Saturday night's game with Winston-Salem State ended (10:09 p.m.).
