Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College baseball team tied a season-high with 20 hits and the Bullets rolled to their fourth-straight win with a 13-3 non-conference victory over Penn State-York Wednesday afternoon at a frigid Kirchhoff Field.
 
All nine position player starters hit safely for the Bullets (10-4), including sophomore Connor Tom (Reinholds, Pa./Conrad Weiser), who missed the cycle by a triple. Batting out of the leadoff spot as the designated hitter, he finished 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, and three RBIs.
 
Junior Henry Klimowicz (Allenhurst, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) also enjoyed a big day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two doubles while hitting safely for the 12th time in 13 starts this season. Sophomore Will Anderson (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) finished 2-for-5 with a double and three RBIs while senior Mike Kielbasa (Ludlowe, Mass./Loomis Chaffee), sophomore James Marcello (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury), freshman Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail), and junior Shawn Moffitt (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) collected two hits apiece.
 
Gettysburg received another strong outing from its starting pitcher, as sophomore Eric Brown (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) scattered seven hits while allowing just three runs (one earned) and striking out a career-high seven. He shut out the Nittany Lions through the first six innings.
 
The Bullets led 3-0 after three innings, then broke the game open with eight runs over the next three frames to push their advantage to 11-0. Tom capped a three-run fifth with a blast to left that made it 9-0, marking Gettysburg's second long ball of the season.
 
Penn State-York, playing its season-opener, got on the scoreboard with a three-run seventh against Brown (3-0). The Lions used three hits and an error to break Gettysburg's scoreless inning streak of 24 2/3 spanning the last three games.
 
A pair of Bullet relievers came on to throw one scoreless inning apiece. Sophomore Jonathan Lucido (Woodstock, Md./St. Paul's) allowed only a walk in the eighth before freshman Ryan Janiga (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh School) stranded a pair of Lions who drew walks in the ninth.
 
Gettysburg set the final score with a two-run eighth.
 
The Bullets close out their three-day, three-game homestand on Thursday, when they host Mount Aloysius College at 3:30 p.m. in a game that was originally scheduled as a doubleheader this past Saturday.
