Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College baseball team dropped an 11-4 decision to Penn State Harrisburg in a non-conference tilt at a sunny and windy Kirchhoff Field Tuesday afternoon.
 
The Bullets (9-6) took a 3-2 lead on a two-run homer from senior Henry Klimowicz (Allenhurst, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) in the bottom of the fourth, but the Nittany Lions answered with nine runs off five different Gettysburg pitchers.
 
Klimowicz finished 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs while senior Andy Kelley (Newtown, Conn./Newtown) scored a pair of runs.
 
Junior Rich Power (Toms River, N.J./Monsignor Donovan) started on the mound for the Bullets and worked 5 1/3 innings, allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walking while striking out five.
 
Jackson Struve led Penn State Harrisburg (10-13), going 3-for-4 with a pair of runs, while four pitchers held the Bullets to five hits, tying their season-low.
 
Gettysburg struck first with one run in the second versus starting pitcher Brian Goodling. Kelley was hit with a pitch and moved to third on a single to right-center from Klimowicz, and the two executed a double steal to put the Bullets up 1-0.
 
The Nittany Lions went up 2-1 with a pair of unearned runs in the third before the Bullets responded in the fourth versus reliever Nick Domenici. Kelley drew a one-out walk before Klimowicz launched a majestic home run to straightaway center to make it a 3-2 game.
 
Harrisburg took the lead for good in the fifth, however, pushing across two runs on three hits. Power (3-1) was one out from escaping when Kevin Kremer singled in the tying run before Ethan Kell doubled to make it 4-3.
 
The visitors would pad their lead by scoring two runs in each of the next three innings as well. After the Nittany Lions scored two runs on one hit, three walks, and an error in the sixth, freshman Will Wortmann (Rockville, Md./Thomas S. Wootton) prevented further damage when he came on with the bases loaded and recorded back-to-back strikeouts to keep the Bullets within three (6-3). But Harrisburg would score two versus Wortmann in the seventh and two more off freshman Sam Dobbins (West Hartford, Conn./Hall) in the eighth. First-year Jonny Bray (Ocean, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) worked the ninth and was touched for an unearned run.
 
Gettysburg scored its final run in the seventh, when sophomore Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail) drew a pinch-hit walk and went on the score on a single from classmate Logan Sneed (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Academy).
 
Domenici (1-0) threw two innings of relief to earn the win, allowing two runs over two innings. Cody Dakin yielded just one run over three innings before Michael Balsy tossed a scoreless ninth.
 
Gettysburg continues its three-game homestand on Wednesday, when it hosts Penn State Berks at 3:30 p.m. in another non-conference outing.
