SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team scored 10 of its 13 runs on Saturday with two outs to claim a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division doubleheader sweep of Bloomsburg, 4-1 and 9-4, on a cold, windy, grey day at Fairchild Field.
 
Shippensburg (16-7, 3-1 PSAC East) ripped nine extra-base hits (seven doubles, two home runs) while allowing just one to Bloomsburg (9-12, 1-3). In the four-game weekend series, SU totaled 17 extra-base hits and slugged .585 as a team.
 
Four Raiders finished with three-hit days. Graduate Carter Arbuthnot reached base six times, going 3-for-4 with a double, three RBIs, three walks and two runs scored. Sophomore Mason Morris went 3-for-6 with a solo home run, two doubles and four RBIs.
 
Sophomore Ty Sherman went back-to-back with Morris in the fifth inning of the opener; he also had a Game 2 RBI-single among his three hits. Junior AJ Wenrich had two singles and a double and scored twice.
 
Overall in the four-game series, Morris reached base 12 times in 16 plate appearances. He was 8-for-12 with a home run, three doubles, four walks, six RBIs and six runs scored. Arbuthnot reached base 10 times (four hits and six walks), while Wenrich had six hits, two walks and seven runs scored.
 
Junior J.T. Weaver improved to 5-0 with a win in the opener and sophomore Bryce Amos got the win in the nightcap. Junior Brenden Anderson worked in both games of the doubleheader, totaling three innings. He scattered four hits and a walk while allowing an unearned run and struck out three.
 
SU posted a series victory over Bloomsburg after the two teams split last season (each swept the other on their home field). Overall, the Raiders have won nine of their last 12 meetings over the Huskies.
 
Shippensburg returns to action at 1 p.m. Friday at Millersville. The Marauders charge a gate fee; ticket information is available HERE.
 
Game 1: Shippensburg 4, Bloomsburg 1
 
Weaver held the Huskies to one earned run on five hits over six innings. He struck out three and used just 91 total pitches.
 
After Bloomsburg manufactured a run with a safety squeeze in the top of the second, Shippensburg sophomore Erby Weller responded with a two-out, two-run double that sailed over the head of the left fielder to take the lead. 
 
The double was the first of Weller's career (he has two career triples), and his clutch hit marked the first multi-RBI game of his career.

Another key in the top of the second was freshman Kyle Ausgotharp unleashing a rocket to home for an outfield assist to throw out a runner at the plate to end the inning.
 
With two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the fifth, Morris and Sherman went back-to-back with no-doubters to left field to provide a late cushion. Anderson worked around a leadoff single to pitch a scoreless seventh and notch his second save of the season.

Game 2: Shippensburg 9, Bloomsburg 4
 
The Raiders turned up the offense in Game 2, plating nine total runs on 14 hits in the seven-inning contest.
 
Six of the Raider runs came in their first two turns at bat. SU pushed four across in the first and two more an inning later.
 
Arbuthnot sliced a two-run double into the wind in left-center field before Sherman sliced an RBI-single up the middle and senior Bryce Herb legged out an infield RBI-single during the Raiders' four-run first.
 
Senior Gio Calamia and Morris laced RBI-doubles in the second to stake SU to a 6-1 lead.
 
Bloomsburg scored three runs in the top of the fifth to close the gap, but Shippensburg tacked on insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth and again in the sixth to finish the doubleheader sweep.
 
Arbuthnot (3-for-3, three RBIs, two runs scored) and Wenrich (3-for-4, two runs scored) combined for six hits. Junior Mike Heckman finished 2-for-3 with an RBI double.
 
Amos improved to 3-0 on the season, scattering five hits and one run in four frames. He struck out two and walked four.
 
Bloomsburg worked nine walks off Raider pitching but stranded 15 runners on base. The Huskies left multiple runners on base in six of their seven at-bats, including the bases loaded in the second and seventh.
 
The contest was delayed for approximately 10 minutes before the start of the sixth inning as a rain squall blew through. Anderson completed a scoreless sixth and junior Jack Robinson finished the game by navigating through the seventh.
