Box Score

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Junior Eric Brown (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) tossed an eight-inning complete game, but the Gettysburg College baseball team dropped a 3-1 non-conference decision at Susquehanna University Tuesday afternoon.
 
Three pitchers combined on a six-hitter for Susquehanna (13-7), which held the Bullets to their season-low scoring output.
 
Senior Steve Wright (Holland, Pa./Council Rock South) finished 2-for-5 at the plate for the Bullets (13-7), who saw their four-game winning streak come to a halt. Sophomore Logan Sneed (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Academy) went 2-for-4 with a stolen base for Gettysburg, which finished with a season-high four steals.
 
Brown (3-2) surrendered 10 hits and walked just one while striking out three en route to the fourth complete game of his career, including two this season.
 
Gettysburg took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second versus Crusader starter Bobby Klatt. Senior Andy Kelley (Newtown, Conn./Newtown) drew a one-out walk and stole second before scoring on an RBI-single from Wright.
 
Susquehanna led off the second with a single and a double, and both runners would eventually score to give the hosts a 2-1 lead. Brown would shut out the Crusaders from the third through the seventh, however, while working out of a pair of jams. In the sixth, he stranded runners on first and second with an inning-ending groundout, and he also escaped in the seventh when a Crusader was out at the plate trying to score on a wild pitch.
 
The Bullets had several scoring opportunities versus Klatt (1-2), but left a runner stranded at second each inning from the third through the sixth. Gettysburg also had runners on first and second with just one out in the seventh versus reliever Jack Kinney, but Kinney escaped with a pair of strikeouts.
 
Liam Comboy secured the win for the Crusaders by retiring six-straight Bullets to end the game and pick up his third save of the year.
 
Gettysburg returns to action on Wednesday, when it hosts Stevenson University at 3:30 p.m. in another non-conference outing.
