SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team dropped both games of a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader with Bloomsburg on Friday, falling 2-0 in nine innings and 6-1 in seven innings on a sunny and breezy day at Fairchild Field.
 
Shippensburg (5-14, 0-2 PSAC East) and Bloomsburg (9-4, 2-0) were scheduled to play a seven-inning game followed by a nine-inning game, but the opening game going into extras shortened the nightcap. The conference office also required the Huskies to be the home team in Game 2 based on the reasoning that Bloomsburg was originally to be the home team twice on Saturday before the schedule changes were made because of the upcoming inclement weather.  
 
Both teams totaled 12 hits on the day, but the Raiders managed just one run, which came in Game 2 after graduate JuJu Cason hit a two-out single, advanced to third on a failed pickoff, and scored on a wild pitch.
 
Game 1 was a splendid pitcher's duel between redshirt-junior Nick Zegna and Husky junior Jared Marshman. Zegna threw eight shutout innings, walking two, scattering five hits and striking out eight. He has not allowed a run in 21 consecutive innings, posting zeroes in each of his last three starts.
 
Bloomsburg scratched across two runs in the ninth on an RBI-single and sacrifice fly against sophomore reliever Kaleb Sophy, and Shippensburg was retired 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth to end it. Marshman threw a 99-pitch complete game, allowing four hits, walking one and striking out five.
 
Game 2 featured the Huskies scoring five runs in the first two innings against redshirt-freshman Cameron Goble and sophomore Gabe Stotler.
 
Cason was 3-for-4 with a double and the long run. Redshirt-sophomore Justin Byler hit two doubles in Game 2 and finished the day with three doubles in six at-bats.
 
Shippensburg is scheduled to play Sunday on the road against Bloomsburg, weather permitting.
