SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. -- The Rock lost 6-3 and 9-4 decisions Sunday to visiting Indiana U. of Pa. in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division action.

The losses in the home-opening twinbill extended SRU's losing streak to four games and gave the Green and White a 12-6 overall record and an 0-4 mark in division play.

Indiana is now 6-14 overall, 2-0 in PSAC-West action.

The guests scored four runs in the top of the first inning of Game 1 and never looked back as they pounded out 17 hits off three Rock pitchers.

The Rock managed only five hits in the game. Meghan McHenry led the way with a pair of singles, including a RBI basehit in the bottom of the fifth.

Shardea Croes accounted for SRU's first run with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the third inning before Jessica Kortz singled home the second SRU run in that same inning to trim the IUP lead to 5-2.

The Rock trimmed the deficit to one, 5-4, on the strength of McHenry's RBI single and an unearned run in the fifth before IUP scored two tallies in each of the sixth and seventh innings to account for the final score.

Rock starting pitcher Lisa Getgen (4-2) was tagged with the loss after she allowed five earned runs on nine hits and struck out one in the first three and one-third innings. Sheree Horvath allowed two earned runs on four hits and walked three in the next two innings before Shauna Walker allowed two earned runs on four hits in the final one and two-thirds innings.

Horvath was the Game 2 starting and losing pitcher for SRU. She allowed one earned run on five hits, struck out two and walked one in the first two innings. Walker then allowed five earned runs on six hits and struck out one in one and two-thirds innings before Getgen allowed three hits, struck out one and walked one in three and one-third scoreless innings.

IUP scored single tallies in the second and third innings before it exploded for four runs in the fourth to take a 6-0 lead.

A two-run home run by Stacey Rhoades in the bottom of the fourth trimmed the deficit to 6-2.

Jordan Zeunges slapped an RBI single in the fifth to account for the final Rock run.

Zeunges collected three of SRU's seven hits in the game. One of her hits was a double, the only extra-base hit for SRU other than Rhoades' roundtripper.

The Rock will seek to end its four-game skid Thursday when it hosts Salem International (W. Va.) in a 2:30 p.m. non-conference twinbill.
