SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team swept a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader on Sunday against East Stroudsburg, 11-5 and 7-3, on a beautiful day from Fairchild Field.
 
Shippensburg (21-18-1, 12-8 PSAC) hosted East Stroudsburg (18-18-1, 8-11-1) for the second straight day but served as the visiting team for the twinbill, as ESU's field was deemed unplayable.
 
Four Raiders recorded three-hit afternoons, including senior Jake Kennedy, senior Ryan McMillen, sophomore Cash Gladfelter and sophomore Tommy Baggett.
 
Kennedy finished 3-for-7 with two home runs, three walks and seven RBIs. He homered in both games, and leads the PSAC in both home runs and RBIs with 18 and 59 respectively. McMillen finished 3-for-8 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
 
Baggett finished 3-for-6 with a double, two RBI and one run scored. Gladfelter finished the day 3-for-7, driving in one while scoring two runs.
 
Senior Mark Curtis started Game 1 for SU, going the distance and collecting the win. Junior Grant Hoover started in Game 2 and collected the win, with junior Andy Crum pitching out of the bullpen in Game 2 to close out the sweep.
 
Shippensburg will return to action Tuesday when it hosts Seton Hill at 3 p.m. for one nine-inning game from Fairchild Field.
 
Game 1
 
The Raiders got off to a quick start, plating two runs in the first on Kennedy's 17th homer of the season that drove in McMillen. SU tallied another run in the second on a fielder's choice to extend the lead to 3-0.
 
Shippensburg added two more runs in the third on another fielder's choice and a Baggett RBI single to center. After East Stroudsburg got two back in the bottom of the third, SU got right back to scoring runs with four more in the fourth.
 
Gladfelter singled up the middle in the seventh to tally SU's 11th run of the game and eventually seal an 11-5 victory. Shippensburg finished with 10 hits in Game 1.
 
Curtis threw a complete game to record his fourth win of the year. The senior scattered eight hits, walked just one, and recorded seven strikeouts.
 
Game 2
 
Kennedy got SU off to another quick start with a single to left field that scored junior Nick Spangler and McMillen. SU would add two more in the second to extend its advantage to 4-0. Spangler singled to right, scoring Baggett, and freshman Jacob Pollock scored on a wild pitch one batter later.
 
The Warriors pulled within three on a RBI single from Ian Allen. With SU holding a 4-1 lead in the sixth, Kennedy put the game away with a home run over the left-field fence that drove in Gladfelter and Spangler.
 
Hoover finished with six-plus innings pitched, surrendering just two earned runs while recording eight strikeouts. Crum pitched one inning out of the bullpen to close out the 7-3 victory for SU.
