Griffins Drop Game One of Super Regional

The Seton Hill baseball team played in their first ever NCAA Atlantic Super Regional contest on Friday afternoon against Millersville on the campus of Millersville University.  

The Griffins jumped out to a 2-0 lead but the Marauders responded with nine unanswered runs, including four home runs, as they defeated the Griffins by the score of 9-4 to take game one of the Supers.  SHU drops to 48-12 overall while Millersville improves to 44-8 overall.  

SHU got off to a good start as they scored in the top of the first inning.  Jack Oberdorf homered on the first pitch he saw over the left center field wall to give the Griffins a 1-0 lead.  The Griffins had a runner at third with one out in the second but two strikeouts ended the threat.  

Jack Whalen walked with one out and Jack Oberdorf singled with two outs to put runners on the corners but a ground out ended the Griffins third.  

Seton Hill was able to add on in the fourth.  Owen Sabol doubled to lead off the inning and moved to third on a Max Mandler ground out.  With two outs, Noah Sweeney doubled down the left field line to give SHU a 2-0 lead.  

That 2-0 lead did not last long as the Marauders struck for five runs in the fourth.  A single and double put two runners on with no one out.  A strike out and ground out scored a run but SHU still had a 2-1 lead with two outs but the Marauders doubled to tie the game then hit back to back homers to take a 5-2 lead.  

Millersville got leadoff homers to start the fifth and sixth innings as they increased their lead to 7-2. The Marauders then added two more runs in the seventh to make it 9-2.  

Vincenzo Rauso, Oberdorf and Logan Vietmeier drew walks to start the eighth inning.  After a pop out, Mandler just missed a grand slam, settling for a sacrifice fly to the left field wall to cut the lead to 9-3.  

Vietmeier drew a bases loaded walk with two outs in the ninth for the final run of the game.

Sabol and Oberdorf each had two hits for the Griffins.

SHU and Millersville will play game two of the super regional at 11 AM on Saturday.  Should the Griffins win, a third and deciding game would be played a half hour after game two.
