ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa.  – Gettysburg College put an emphatic stamp on the conclusion of a non-conference doubleheader sweep at Elizabethtown College Thursday evening as the Bullets posted a 21-5 victory over the Blue Jays in the nightcap.
 
Gettysburg (19-13) scored a pair of runs in its final at bat to help secure a 6-4 decision in the opening game. In game two, the Bullets sent 19 batters to the plate and scored 13 runs in the sixth inning to put an exclamation point on the sweep.
 
Every starting position player notched a hit and an RBI in the sweep. Junior Emily Hall (Reston, Va./Flint Hill School) went 6-for-8 with two doubles and five RBI, while classmate Melissa Tighe (Little Falls, N.J./Mt. St. Dominic) also went 6-for-8 with five runs, two RBI, two walks, and three stolen bases. Sophomore Steph Zengel (High Bridge, N.J./Hunterdon Central) and freshman Jamie Abell (Glenn Dale, Md./Elizabeth Seton) each tallied four hits and scored four runs.
 
Tighe led off game one with a triple and came around to score on a single by Abell. Elizabethtown (12-19) answered in the home half and jumped ahead 2-1 with another run in the fourth inning.
 
Gettysburg took the lead for good with three unearned runs in the fifth inning. Tighe, Abell, and Zengel came around to score, the latter on single by sophomore Meghan Hisgen (East Northport, N.Y./Commack). The Blue Jays cut the deficit to 4-3 with a run in the fourth, but the Bullets turned in a pair of runs in the final frame.

Sophomore Michelle Fox (Newton, N.J./Blair Academy) improved to 9-7 with the win. Fox allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out five.
