The Shippensburg University baseball team lost both games of a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader to No. 16 Millersville on Saturday, falling by scores of 9-0 and 9-3 to the Marauders on rainy, windy, cold day at Cooper Park.
 
Shippensburg (15-19, 9-6 PSAC East) had its eight-game winning streak snapped by Millersville (24-8, 10-2), as the Marauders got strong starts from Jeff Taylor and Connor Cook. MU used quick starts in each game to take leads it would not relinquish.
 
SU is scheduled to next play at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Pitt-Johnstown.
