ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Elizabethtown College committed nine errors which led to eight unearned runs and helped visiting Gettysburg College pull off a sweep of the host Blue Jays in non-conference softball action on Thursday. The Bullets won the opener 4-3 and the nightcap 7-5 to improve their season mark to 7-3 overall.

Senior Abbe Miller (Spring City, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) paced the Gettysburg bats with three hits in seven at bats and drove in a pair of runs. Junior Erin Ober (Lutherville, Md./Dulaney) and freshman Megan MacNabb (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) managed hits in both ends of the doubleheader, while sophomore Ali Iacobucci (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenixville) reached base five times in six plate appearances, including a 3-for-3 effort in game two.

Elizabethtown (5-6) handed Gettysburg a 4-1 loss during the Bullets recent spring break trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., but the result was returned in full on Thursday, mostly due to Blue Jay errors in the field. The visitors put a pair of runs on the scoreboard in the second inning of game one as the result of a pair of errors by the hosts. Elizabethtown retaliated with a run in their half of the inning, and following a run-scoring single by Miller in the third, the Blue Jays knotted the game at 3-3 on a two-run double by Sarah Church. Gettysburg would have the last laugh, however, as senior Heather Sagaities (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) plated the game-winning run with a single in the sixth inning.

Junior Kristy Rubino (Parsippany, N.J./Parsippany) improved to 4-1 this spring after allowing three runs on six hits and four walks, while striking out six. Alex Lee, who defeated the Bullets earlier this spring, took the loss after giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits.

Nearly all of the damage done in the nightcap by Gettysburg was the result of Elizabethtown miscues. The Bullets scored six runs in the second inning on just one hit, two walks, and four errors. Iacobucci and Sagaities each plated runs with a single and a sacrifice fly, respectively. The Blue Jays hacked into the lead with three runs in the third, but a double by Miller in the fifth plated Ober with an insurance run for sophomore pitcher Beth McCullough (Ft. Wayne, Ind./Homestead). McCullough allowed another pair of runs in the fifth by the hosts, but she set down the final six batters, three by strikeout, to improve to 3-1 on the year.

Gettysburg begins its Centennial Conference schedule this Saturday (March 22) with a doubleheader against Muhlenberg College at Bobby Jones Field. Game time is slated for noon.
