READING, Pa. – Sophomore Eric Hungerford (New Preston, Conn./Shepaug Valley) threw a six-hit shutout and junior Al Posch (Hopedale, Mass./Hopedale) reached 100 career hits as the Gettysburg College baseball team earned a sweep at Penn State-Berks on Sunday.

The Bullets (11-6) won the opener 2-0 and rallied from an early three-run deficit to capture the nightcap 9-6.

It was the second-straight shutout for Hungerford (3-1), who has now thrown 20 consecutive scoreless innings spanning his last three outings. He struck out seven, walked two, and did not allow an extra-base hit.

Senior Brett Norton (Milwood, N.Y./Horace Greeley) finished the day 4-for-8 with three RBIs.

Posch reached his milestone in his opening at-bat of the day, singling up the middle in the top of the first. Posch, who recorded 22 of his hits at Worcester Polytechnic Institute before transferring to Gettysburg last season, is the second Bullet in as many days to achieve the century mark, following junior Nate Simon (Gwynedd Valley, Pa./Abington Friends School) against Penn State-Behrend on Saturday.

The Bullets provided Hungerford all of the offense he would need when Norton walked to lead off the fourth before coming around to score three batters later on a two-out single by Simon. Norton then provided the Bullets with an insurance run in the fifth with a two-out, RBI-single of his own.

The Lions threatened in the bottom of the seventh with a leadoff single before Hungerford retired the next two batters. After the No. 9 hitter singled to put two aboard, Hungerford induced pop-up to end the game as Gettysburg recorded its fourth shutout of the year.

In the nightcap, the Bullets jumped to a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly from junior Cam MacDonald (Norwell, Mass./Norwell) and an RBI-single from Norton. But the Lions responded with five runs on five walks followed by a pair of singles against senior starter John Donovan (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield-Ludlowe) and freshman reliever Luke Lawrence (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) in the bottom of the inning to take a 5-2 lead.

Gettysburg came right back, however, with a five-spot of its own in the top of the third. Junior Mike Elisio (Bensalem, Pa./Holy Ghost Prep) doubled home a run to chase starter Josh Spayd before junior Patrick O'Grady (Floral Park, N.Y./Archbishop Molloy) and Norton each singled home a run to tie it at 5-5. MacDonald, who walked earlier in the inning, scored the go-ahead run on a fielder's choice before O'Grady came around to score on an error.

Lawrence (2-1) settled in the rest of the way, allowing only one run on a pair of hits in the fifth as the Lions made it 7-6. After the Bullets tacked on a pair of runs in the sixth, Lawrence worked out of a jam in the seventh, retiring the final two batters with runners on first and second. For the game, he allowed one run on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Norton finished 3-for-5 with two RBIs in the nightcap while O'Grady was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs. Elisio and junior Ben Roessle (Summit, N.J./Summit) also scored twice.

The Bullets return home on Tuesday, when they take on Juniata College in a non-conference game starting at 3:30 p.m.
