GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg earned a doubleheader sweep of Haverford in Centennial Conference (CC) action on Sunday afternoon at Bobby Jones Field. The Bullets earned a 1-0 victory in game one before taking the nightcap, 5-4. The sweep comes just a day after Gettysburg handed CC leader Ursinus its first CC loss of the season in a doubleheader split with the Bears.

Sophomore shortstop Nicole Yannotta (Whippany, N.J./Whippany Park) was 2-for-6 with a walk, three RBI and one run scored on the day, while junior catcher Abbe Miller (Spring City, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) went 2-for-6 with a walk, a double and one run scored. Sophomore center fielder Erin Ober (Lutherville, Md./Dulaney) and freshman first baseman Kara Kempski (Pittsford, N.Y./Pittsford Mendon) each added two hits to the Bullets' offense. Ober also recorded a double, while Kempski drove in a run. Game two saw Jessica Wallick (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) go 1-for-2 as the designated player.

Sophomore right-hander Kristy Rubino (Parsippany, N.J./Parsippany) earned the win in both games for Gettysburg (17-11, 7-5 CC), improving to 11-5 on the season. She pitched 14 innings, allowing 12 hits with no walks and 18 strikeouts. With those 18 strikeouts, she has recorded 114 this season, breaking the school record for strikeouts in a season. The previous record of 111 was set by Rubino last season.

Haverford (16-12, 6-6 CC) sophomore third baseman Natalie Richman was 3-for-6 with two doubles and two RBI. Freshman Cassandra Searls recorded three hits on the day, while scoring two runs for the Fords.

Following five scoreless innings in game one, Gettysburg put together the only run of the game on a Haverford error in the bottom of the sixth. After senior third baseman Megan Dean (Olney, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel) was hit by a pitch, Ober reached on a fielder's choice and Miller walked to load the bases, Yannotta earned a two-out, full-count free pass to plate pinch runner Katie Lobosco (Spring Lake Heights, N.J./Manasquan). That was all the Bullets would get, and all that they would need after silencing Haverford in their final chance in the top of the seventh.

Game two saw four Gettysburg players drive in at least one run each, with one plating two, allowing the Bullets to score in each of the final three innings.

An early 4-0 Haverford lead was cut in half when the Bullets put two on the board on one hit and a Ford error in the fifth. Freshman Sarah Woodbury (Audubon, Pa./Mt. St. Joseph Academy) led off with a walk. Classmate Ali Iacobucci (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenixville) reached on an error before a Kempski single to left center scored pinch runner Lobosco. Junior left fielder Heather Sagaities (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) advanced Iacobucci and Kempski with a bunt and Dean followed with a ground out to the right side, driving in Iacobucci.

The Gettysburg bats continued to catch fire in both the sixth and seventh to tally an impressive three runs on six hits and an error and keep the game from going to extra innings. Miller doubled to lead off the sixth and stole third before a Yannotta single down the right field line plated Miller easily. Senior right fielder Meg Gorsuch (Mount Airy, Md./South Carroll) bunted Yannotta to second and Wallick singled to move her to third. Yannotta was able to beat the throw home on an Iacobucci fly out to center.

With the game knotted at four, Sagaities reached on a Haverford error to start the seventh for Gettysburg. Back-to-back singles from Ober and Miller advanced Sagaities to third. A Yannotta two-out, hard hit single to third scored Sagaities for the winning run and Bullet sweep.

The Bullets will return to action on Wednesday when they play host to the Green Terror of McDaniel for a CC twinbill. Game one is slated for 3:30 p.m.
