MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Junior Taylor Snyder took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and senior Adrienne Rahs drove in three runs to lead the Gettysburg College softball team to a 7-1 win over Gordon College at the Snowbird Tournament on Monday, March 12.

Gettysburg (1-2) defeated its only NCAA Division III opponent, while dropping close games to a pair of NAIA schools during the first two days of competition in South Carolina. On Sunday, Dakota State University (8-3) scored in the bottom of the seventh inning to get by the Bullets 3-2.

Snyder opened the season with four scoreless innings against Dakota State before giving way to freshman Lindsey Treanor. Junior Katie Lang tallied a pair of hits and a stolen base in the opener.

Gettysburg also won an exhibition game against Brookdale Community College 5-3 on the first day of competition. The game and stats won't count on the team's record since the opponent was only a two-year institution.

Snyder continued to throw well in the Bullets' second day of competition against Gordon. The junior right-hander didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning and surrendered one unearned run while fanning four.

Rahs provided the big blow for Gettysburg with a two-run double to cap a four-run fourth inning against the Fighting Scots. She added another hit and RBI to finish 2-for-3 with three RBI. Rahs was also hit by a pitch for the 18th time in her career, tying the school's record.

Freshman Melissa Tighe went 2-for-3 with a triple, walk, stolen base, and an RBI against Gordon.

Gettysburg ended Monday with another late loss to an NAIA institution as Montreat scored a pair of two-out runs in the seventh to pull off a 4-2 decision. Treanor took the loss despite fanning seven.

Tighe continued to hold a hot stick with three more hits, including a two-run triple to tie the game in the fifth inning. Junior Sam Bader tallied a pair of base knocks in three at bats.

Gettysburg will face a pair of Division III schools tomorrow (March 13) at the Snowbird Tournament. The Bullets line up against Mt. St. Vincent College at 9:30 a.m. followed by Becker College at 11:30 a.m.
