GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg College and Elizabethtown College combined for 55 hits in a non-conference twinbill at Bobby Jones Field with the visiting Blue Jays getting the better of the hosts with a pair of wins.

Elizabethtown (17-18) notched 17 hits in the opener en route to an 11-5 decision. Gettysburg (19-17) took a stab at a comeback in game two, netting each of the final six runs, but the Blue Jays held on for a 9-8 win. The nightcap proved to be the season finale for the Bullets as the team was eliminated from conference postseason contention with a win by Muhlenberg College at Ursinus College.

Senior Caitlin Bay made the most of her final day in the orange and blue, going a combined 5-for-8 with two runs and an RBI in the doubleheader. Sophomore Joy Hallfors finished with four hits and three runs and freshman Abby Ferguson went 4-for-8 with three RBI.

Both teams brought out the bats in the opener, combining for 31 hits. Elizabethtown struck first with a pair of runs in the first, but Gettysburg answered with the same number in its home half.

The Bullets jumped ahead 4-2 in the second inning as junior Adrienne Rahs belted her school-record 15th double of the season to bring in two runs. The base knock was also her 100th career hit.

The Blue Jays picked up three more runs in the third and solo tallies in the fourth and fifth to jump back in front 7-4. Gettysburg sliced the margin to two with an RBI single by freshman Maggie Maguire in the sixth, but Elizabethtown padded the advantage with four runs in the seventh, including two on pitcher Julie Sebastian's fourth hit of the game, to put the game away.

Rahs finished 2-for-4 with three RBI and Bay was 3-for-4 with an RBI. Hallfors and sophomore Sam Bader each added a pair of base hits, the former scoring twice.

The finale's first inning was a near mirror image of the opener as both teams struck for a pair of runs in their opening at bats. Elizabethtown was next to strike, scoring seven runs on five hits and four errors in the third inning. Sebastian continued her hot hitting with a two-run single in the frame as the visitors took a 9-2 lead.

Gettysburg was down, but not out, as the Bullets brought across a single tally in the fourth before unleashing the bats for five more in the fifth to pull to 9-8. Ferguson provided the big blow with a towering two-run homer over the center-field fence. The hit was marked her fourth of the spring and capped the team's season record for homers at 21.

Both teams avoided any further damage over the final two frames as Sebastian tossed the final 2.2 innings to close the door on the hosts and pick up the save.

Ferguson capped the day with a 2-for-4, three RBI performance in the nightcap.. Maguire and Hallfors posted a pair of hits, while Bay and fellow senior Megan Lott each went 2-for-4.
