Millersville improves to 12-7 on the season.

Chris Law tripled.
The Griffins took a lead in the top of the fifth inning.
Tyler Sullivan singled to lead off the inning and scored when Lewis homered to left field to give SHU a 3-2 lead. Law singled and advanced to third with one out but a ground out and a strike out ended the inning without the Griffins adding on any runs.
In the eighth inning, the Griffins loaded the bases with one out but a double play on a pop out to the second baseball ended the inning without any insurance runs crossing the board. Millersville took advantage of the Griffins not adding on by tying the score at three in the bottom of the eighth thanks to three Griffin walks.
SHU put runners on first and second with one out in the ninth but a strikeout and groundout ended the inning. In the eleventh, Sullivan singled and moved to third on two wild pitches with one out. Millersville was able to get a groundout to short and a strikeout to strand Sullivan at third base.
Millersville then walked off the Griffins in the 13th. The leadoff hitter reached on an error in the outfield and moved to second base on the error. A ground out to first moved the winning run to third and a single with one out brought in the winning run.
Sullivan, Law and Lewis each had two hits for the Griffins.
Don McWreath,
Kenny Wells and
Jared Kollar combined to work the 12+ innings, giving up just two earned runs while striking out 17.
