SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team got a walk-off single in Game 1 on Saturday from senior Tommy Baggett as the Raiders ultimately split a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader with Lock Haven, winning the opener 2-1 but falling 4-1 in Game 2 from Fairchild Field.
 
Shippensburg (15-23, 7-13 PSAC East) received a marvelous pitching performance in Game 1 from senior Michael Hope, who allowed just two hits and one walk while matching a career high with 11 strikeouts. It is the fifth complete game of Hope's career (second this season), and the third time he has fanned 11 in a start.
 
Lock Haven (18-16-1, 11-9) limited Shippensburg to just three runs in the series, and got a Game 2 victory from Avery Eddy. The Raiders got the potential winning run to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the seventh of Game 2 but could not complete a comeback.
 
Baggett reached base four times in the doubleheader, recording two singles, a walk and a hit by pitch. Senior Jack Goertzen had a team-high three hits, including a double. Juniors Jacob Pollock and Zack Zoller each had two hits and an RBI.
 
Junior Kyle Lysy had a strong relief performance in Game 2, throwing 4.1 innings and allowing just one run in his final frame to go along with two hits and three strikeouts. Lysy helped SU escape a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the third inning with back-to-back fielder's choices.
