Shippensburg Baseball and Softball
Posted: March 1st, 2004, 12:55 am
I'm fortunate to have some good friends that play baseball and softball here at SHIP so I thought I'd take the time to boast a little on how the teams are doing. Ladies first...the softball team opened up their season playing a double header at Pfeiffer University in North Carolina. The Lady Raiders swept the double header winning the first game 5-0 and the second 7-1. In the first game, All-American Kelley Tiesi pitched a three-hit shutout to earn the victory and Dana Burgess gave up only 4 hits and 1 run to notch the second win of the season.
This past weekend, the team traveled to Longwood, VA to compete in the Longwood University Softball Tournament. They lost their opening game Friday afternoon to Longwood 5-2. On Saturday, SHIP shutout West Virgina Wesleyan 2-0 and Virginia State 4-0 to earn the #2 seed heading into Sunday's championship round. Tiesi again pitched the complete game shutout against Wesleyan recording 12 K's. Shippensburg's two runs came from a two-run homerun hit by Ann Corr in the bottom of the first. On Sunday, SHIP defeated Lock Haven to advance to the championship where they defeated Longwood 2-1 to claim the title. SHIP softball's record is currently 6-1.
The baseball team also has been on it's own winning streak after losing it's opener 7-4 at the hands of Mt. Olive. Shippensburg began its winning ways sweeping a double header against Wingate University, NC, winning the first game 10-8 and the second 23-3. The team collected an impressive 38 hits in the two games. In the first game, Evan Englebrook got the win while Frank Dagostino got the save. In the second game, Northern Bedford product Randy Dicken held wingate scoreless through the first 4 frames to claim the victory and Nathan Jones pitched the final 3.
The next day, SHIP again played Wingate and claimed both games winning 3-0 and 3-1. Lee McClintock got the win in game one while freshmen Ross Buckwalter got his first win of his college career in the second game.
The baseball team increased its record to 6-1 this past weekend by defeating Mars Hill in double-header action 18-7 and 13-2. Jared Krebs two run home run in the first thing got things going for the Red Raiders in the first game while Evan Englebrook recorded the win. In game two, Randy Dicken pitched a great game claiming his second victory while increasing the Raider's record.
*Both baseball and softball travel to Florida over spring break to compete in tournaments.
