MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – The Lock Haven University baseball team (21-16, 11-13 PSAC East) capped its four-game Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division series today with Millersville University (28-15, 16-8 PSAC East) and the Marauders took the finale, 4-0 at home.
Today's game was scheduled to be part of a doubleheader yesterday (Sat., April 28), but rain washed it out and set up today's Sunday tilt. LHU won game one yesterday, 8-4, before the rainy weather came. Millersville took 3 of 4 in the series after securing a Friday sweep in Lock Haven.
The host Marauders broke open a scoreless game in the bottom of the fourth inning today after Dominic Hardaway hit a solo home run to make it 1-0.
Leading 1-0, Millersville added three runs in the bottom of the sixth.
