Box Score 1 |
Box Score 2 The Shippensburg University baseball team traveled to Philadelphia on Friday and posted a sweep of Jefferson in a non-conference doubleheader at Alumni Field, defeating the Rams by scores of 4-2 and 14-0 in a pair of seven-inning games.
Â
Shippensburg (9-7) ran its win streak to six straight with the sweep. Friday's games materialized earlier this week after the originally scheduled weekend series against Millersville was postponed.
Â
On the mound, graduate
Kyle Lysy got the Game 1 victory. Lysy allowed just three hits, walked one, and struck out eight to improve to 2-2 on the year. Both runs he allowed were unearned and scored in the first inning.
Â
A three-run fifth inning flipped a 2-1 deficit into the 4-2 final score. RBI-singles by
Chase Zurawski and
Jordan Yoder gave the Raiders the lead, and another run scored on a wild pitch.
Â
Justin Darden doubled home a run in the fourth.
Â
Kiernan Higgins threw five shutout innings for the win in Game 2, with
Andrew Haynes and
Noah Nabholz each pitching a scoreless inning of relief.
Â
Complete box scores will be posted once available.

Schedule Changes: Saturday's doubleheader with Clarion has been canceled, and next Thursday's game with Chestnut Hill has also been canceled.
Â
Up Next: Shippensburg returns to action Friday, April 9 when it hosts Kutztown for a noon doubleheader at Fairchild Field.
