Box Score
YORK, Pa. – Trailing 9-0, Gettysburg scored six runs in the eighth to make it a three-run game, but York (Pa.) tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the inning and the Spartans defeated the Bullets 11-6 in non-conference baseball action Wednesday afternoon.
Gettysburg (6-8) had managed only an infield single heading into the eighth before breaking out with six hits. With one out, sophomore
Cory Jackmuff (Woodbury, N.J./West Deptford) singled off reliever Tom Moran before freshman Augie Stadmueller (Bernardsville, N.J./Bernards) reached on an error. Junior

Sophomores
Chris Simard (Lexington, Mass./Belmont Hill) and
Cam Riera (Medway, Mass./Medway) followed up with back-to-back RBI-singles to make it 9-3 and prompt a pitching change. Freshman

Matt Karis (Southborough, Mass./Noble & Greenough) drew a walk to load the bases.
Junior
Scott Vladyka (Stanhope, N.J./Lenape Valley Regional) then connected for a two-run single, but after junior

York (13-2), which won its 13th straight game, scored its final two runs on two walks, an error, a fielder's choice, and a single.
After taking an early 1-0 lead, York broke it open with a three-run third and a four-run fifth.
