LANCASTER, Pa. – Erin Ober (Lutherville, MD/Dulaney) went 6-for-7 and scored three runs to lead Gettysburg to a sweep of Franklin & Marshall in Centennial Conference (CC) action on Tuesday.
Kristy Rubino (Parsippany, NJ/Parsippany) threw a shutout in the 2-0 game one win, and Ober went 4-for-4 in the nightcap as the Bullets earned a 5-2 victory. Shannon Kiry (Cinnaminson, NJ/Cinnaminson) picked up her 12th win of the season in game two.
Gettysburg improved its overall record to (21-8, 5-3 CC) while the Diplomats fall to 4-27 overall and 1-11 in the CC.
In game one, Gettysburg scored the first run of the game in the fourth inning. Following a single by Ober, Tayler Cianciotta (Scotch Plains, NJ/Scotch Plains-Fanwood) smacked a triple to right-center field that scored Ober.
The Bullets got an insurance run in the top of the seventh when Meg Gorsuch (Mount Airy, MD/South Carroll) crossed the plate on a fielding error by F&M's first baseman.
Rubino only needed two runs to pick up her ninth victory of the season. She struck out five batters and scatted five hits for the shutout.
In game two, the Bullets jumped out to a 1-0 lead after the first inning. Consecutive singles by Abbe Miller (Spring City, PA/Owen J. Roberts) and Nicole Yannotta (Whippany, NJ/Whippany Park) led to an RBI single by Jessica Wallick (Chambersburg, PA/Chambersburg) that plated Miller.
Ober crossed the plate in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Gorsuch to give the Bullets a 2-0 lead.
A big sixth inning pushed Gettysburg's lead to 5-0. Ober led off the sixth with her third base hit of the game. Megan Dean (Olney, MD/Our Lady of Good Counsel) walked, and a single by Gorsuch loaded the bases for Heather Sagaities (Hollidaysburg, PA/Hollidaysburg). Sagaities knocked a two-run single that scored Ober and Dean. Gorsuch later scored on a fielder's choice.
The Diplomats rallied to plate two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but Gettysburg prevailed 5-2. Both of F&M's runs were unearned as Kiry picked up a complete-game victory.
Gettysburg returns to action on Thursday for a doubleheader at Haverford. Game one starts at 3:30 p.m.
