Box Score

MONT ALTO, Pa. – Senior Eric Hungerford (New Preston, Conn./Shepaug Valley) and sophomore Rich Power (Toms River, N.J./Monsignor Donovan) combined on a five-hit shutout, lifting the Gettysburg College baseball team to a 5-0 non-conference victory at Penn State-Mont Alto on Monday.
 
Hungerford (2-1) tossed the first five innings to pick up the win and move into a tie with Ryan Taylor '13 for second on Gettysburg's career wins list. Hungerford allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out three and is now 21-6 for his career.
 
Power worked the final four frames to earn his second career save. He yielded just one hit and one walk while fanning six.
 
Freshman centerfielder Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail), making his first career start, finished 3-for-4 with three  RBIs to lead the Bullets (8-4) at the plate. Senior Scott Zanghellini (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) added a pair of hits while classmate Cory Karagjozi (Robbinsville, N.J./Robbinsville) collected two RBIs.
 
It was a pitcher's duel in the early going between Hungerford and Mont Alto's Derek Coy. The Bullets received a break in the bottom of the second, when they escaped a bases-loaded jam. The bags were full following three singles when No. 9 hitter Holden Baker rolled a slow grounder to second. Zanghellini charged for the ball but collided with the runner headed for second, who was called out for interference to end the inning.
 
Hungerford allowed just one baserunner over the next three innings, when a batter reached on an error with two outs in the fourth. But he went on to retire his last four batters.
 
Power did not allow a runner to advance beyond second. He picked off a runner in the seventh and retired his final four batters as well.
 
Coy blanked the Bullets on one hit through the first four innings. But in the top of the fifth, the Orange and Blue found a spark when senior Mike Kielbasa (Ludlow, Mass./Loomis Chaffee) and Karagjozi drew back-to-back one-out walks. Probst followed up with an RBI single to give his team all the offense it would need.
 
Gettysburg tacked on a pair of unearned runs in the fifth when Karagjozi drilled a two-run single that followed an error two batters earlier.
 
The Bullets added two insurance runs in the eighth against reliever Colby Dice. Sophomore Will Anderson (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) led off with a double before junior Steve Wright (Holland, Pa./Council Rock South) was hit with a pitch. Kielbasa bunted the runners over before Karagjozi walked to load the bases. Probst followed up with a two-run single to set the final score.
 
Gettysburg continues its six-day, seven-game stretch on Tuesday, when it takes on Stevenson University in the Bullets' home opener. The non-conference tilt is set to begin at 3:30 p.m.
