A day after earning a doubleheader sweep at Shippensburg University, the Slippery Rock University baseball team had the tables turned on it as Ship took two from The Rock, 3-0 and 4-2 in 13 innings at Critchfield Park.

OnSaturday, senior right-hander Chris Squeglia and sophomore left-hander Rich Hocanson hurled back-to-back complete-game three-hitters as SRU won 3-1 and 6-0.
