STEVENSON, Md. – The Gettysburg College baseball teams suffered its first loss of the season on Tuesday, dropping an 11-1 decision to red-hot Stevenson University in a non-conference affair.

Stevenson got to Bullet starter Eric Hungerford (New Preston, Conn./Shepaug Valley) with four unearned runs on three hits and two errors in the first. Norton made it a 4-1 game with an RBI-single in the third, but the hosts answered with three runs on three hits, one error, and a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the frame.

The Mustangs tacked on another run against Hungerford (0-1) in the fourth before scoring three off senior John Donovan (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Ludlowe), who worked the fifth through the seventh innings. Junior Chris Yoda (Wall, N.J./Wall) came on to toss a scoreless eighth.

Gettysburg returns to action on Sunday, when it kicks off its Spring Break trip in Fort Myers, Fla. with a doubleheader versus St. Lawrence University starting at 10 a.m.
