FORT MYERS, Fla. – Gettysburg used a late rally to win the opener, then jumped on SUNY Plattsburgh with five runs in the first two innings of the nightcap en route to a doubleheader sweep on the first day of the team's Spring Break trip to Florida on Sunday.

The Bullets, who pounded out 24 hits on the day, used a four-run sixth inning to win the first game 5-4 on a go-ahead single from junior Pat Cody, then capped the day with a 9-1 victory.

Gettysburg (2-1) received a pair of complete-game pitching performances, with junior Ryan Taylor scattering seven hits in the opener before freshman Eric Hungerford fired a four-hitter in Game Two.

The Cardinals fell to 2-4 on the season.

The Bullets took a 1-0 lead in the opener when senior Clint O'Brien led off the second with a double and scored on a single from sophomore Alex Freeman. But the Cardinals tied it with a run in the third before pushing across three in top of the sixth, assuming a 4-1 advantage.

Freeman got things started in the bottom of the frame for Gettysburg with a triple. Sophomore Zach Parsons followed up with a pinch-hit sacrifice fly before starter Casey Mohrien loaded the bases with a pair of hit batsman.

Sophomore Nate Simon greeted reliever Brian Burns with a two-run double to pull the Bullets even, setting up Cody's big hit.

Taylor (1-0) worked a three-up, three-down seventh to pick up his first win of the season. The lefty walked one and fanned five, moving his career total to 137 - 10th on the school's career strikeouts list.

Simon finished the game 3-for-4 while sophomore Patrick O'Grady, O'Brien, and Freeman all collected two hits.

The Bullets parlayed four walks and a single into a three-run first inning in the nightcap. Cody and senior Drew Roy each worked a free pass with the bases loaded before an additional run scored on a double play.

Gettysburg tacked on two more runs in the second. Sophomore Cam MacDonald doubled leading off before O'Grady singled. The two went on to score on a sacrifice fly from Simon and a single from Cody.

It was more than enough run support for Hungerford (1-0), who was making his first collegiate start. After allowing a leadoff single, he retired 12 consecutive batters, then left the bases loaded in the fifth. The Cardinals finally broke through with a three-hit, one-run sixth, but Hungerford fired a perfect seventh. He finished with two walks and three strikeouts.

Sophomore Al Posch went 3-for-3 with a pair of runs for Gettysburg while Freeman finished 2-for-4. O'Grady scored a pair of runs while Cody and Roy each had two RBIs.

The Bullets continue their seven-day, 10-game trip when they take on Wisconsin Lutheran College on Monday in a doubleheader starting at 10 a.m.
