Game 1 Box Score  Game 2 Box Score

COCOA, Fla. – Senior Will Kleva (Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City) and junior Derek Zaleski (Haddonfield, N.J./Haddonfield) each pitched a shutout and the Gettysburg College baseball team outscored Norwich University 18-0 in a doubleheader sweep during the next-to-last day of the team's Spring Break trip to Florida Friday afternoon.

The Bullets (4-6) won the opener 7-0 on Kleva's three-hitter before cruising to an 11-0 victory in the nightcap on Zaleski's five-hit, nine-strikeout performance.

Gettysburg, which has outscored its opponents 33-2 during its three-game winning streak, pounded 20 hits against Norwich (0-5). Junior Kevin Langhauser (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) and sophomore Cam Riera (Medway, Mass./Medway) led the way with three hits apiece while sophomore Matt Karis (Southborough, Mass./Noble & Greenough School) and junior Mike Backus (Piscataway, N.J./Immaculata) each drove in three runs.

In the opener, Kleva was in command from the start, sitting down 11 of the first 13 batters he faced. In the meantime, the Bullets took advantage of some sloppy fielding, scoring four runs on five hits and four errors over the first four innings.

Gettysburg pushed its lead to 6-0 with a pair of unearned runs in the sixth and set the score with a run in the seventh.

Kleva (1-2) faced his biggest challenge in the sixth, when the Cadets loaded the bases with one out following a pair of walks sandwiched around a single. But he induced a 6-4-3 double play to escape from the jam before working a three-up, three-down seventh to pick up his second collegiate shutout. He tied his career-high with five strikeouts.

Sophomore Chris Simard (Lexington, Mass./Belmont Hill) and Langhauser each went 2-for-4.

The Bullets wasted little time getting on the scoreboard in the second game, exploding with four runs in each of the first two innings to take an early 8-0 lead. Backus broke the game open with a three-run double in the second that made it 7-0. The Orange & Blue added a single run in the fourth and two more in the fifth.

Zaleski (1-1) was also in a groove in the early going, striking out four of his first six batters. Norwich also loaded the bases in the sixth inning of game two, but like Kleva, Zaleski got out of it with a 6-4-3 double play en route to his first collegiate shutout. His nine K's were a career-high.

Riera went 3-for-3 with three runs scored in the nightcap while Backus was 2-for-3 with three RBIs, two doubles, and two runs. Senior Sam Stabert (Wynnewood, Pa./Lower Merion) was 2-for-2 with two RBIs while Karis also drove in a pair of runs.

Gettysburg concludes its southern swing on Saturday, when it takes on Richard Stockton College in a doubleheader starting at 10 a.m.
