The Shippensburg University baseball team got off the schneid Saturday by totaling 29 runs and 33 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Queens (N.Y.) College, defeating the Knights by scores of 19-14 and 10-0 in games played at Diamond Nation in Flemington, N.J.
 
Shippensburg (2-6) hit .413 as a team with 12 extra-base hits over the course of the two games. Five Raiders had at least four hits on the day, including three that totaled five hits.
 
SU and Queens (2-2) combined for 33 runs, 34 hits and seven errors in Game 1, which got downright silly in the middle innings.

The fifth inning was something. SU scored seven runs in the top half to take a 12-5 lead, but Queens countered with eight runs in the bottom half to re-gain the lead, 13-12. In the top of the sixth, SU put up six more runs to take an 18-13 lead that would prove insurmountable.
