GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Sophomore Jack Seibert (Yardley, Pa./Holy Ghost Prep) drilled a pinch-hit, walk-off single to cap a furious comeback in the opener, and the Gettysburg College baseball team went to sweep Muhlenberg College in a Centennial Conference (CC) doubleheader on Senior Day and Project ALS Day Saturday at Kirchhoff Field.
 
Trailing 8-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth in Game One, the Bullets (23-12-1, 9-4-1 CC) rallied with five runs on six hits and an error. Gettysburg would capture the nightcap 5-1, and is now in second place in the Centennial Conference standings.
 
Senior Henry Klimowicz (Allenhurst, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) led the Bullets at the plate, going 6-for-8, while classmate Andrew Hourigan (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) finished 4-for-9.
 
On the mound, freshman Jonny Bray (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) worked 3 2/3 innings of excellent relief in the opener to earn his first career win. Then in the second game, junior Chase Stopyra (Ocean, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) fired 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win before classmate Jonathan Lucido (Woodstock, Md./St. Paul's) came on to toss 3 2/3 scoreless innings to record his first save of the year.
 
Gettysburg's seven seniors were honored prior to the start of the game, and between games a "Project ALS Day" ceremony was held as the baseball team's "Take ALS Yard" efforts were recognized.
 
The opening was a pitcher's duel in the early going between junior Rich Power (Toms River, N.J./Monsignor Donovan) and Muhlenberg's Timmy Pilrun. The Bullets led 3-1 heading into the sixth, but that's when the Mules (15-19, 6-8 CC) erupted for a six-run inning, sending 11 batters to the plate. However, Bray prevented further damage when he was called on with the bases loaded and immediately induced a 4-6-3 inning-ending double play. He went on to yield just an unearned run the rest of the way.
 
The Bullets pulled to within 7-4 in the bottom of the eighth before the Mules answered with a run in the top of the ninth, setting up the dramatic finish. Reliever Christopher Bunero retired the leadoff batter before senior Steve Wright (Holland, Pa./Council Rock South) sparked the rally with a double. Klimowicz, senior Andy Kelley (Newtown, Conn./Newtown), and junior Connor Tom (Reinholds, Pa./Conrad Weiser) followed up with three-straight singles, with the last two scoring runs to make it an 8-6 game.
 
Hourigan then reached on an error that cut the deficit to one before senior Shawn Moffitt (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) clubbed a game-tying single to left, prompting another pitching change. RJ Hennessy came on to face Seibert, who drilled a 1-2 pitch through the left side, setting off a wild celebration on the field.
  Klimowicz went 4-for-4 in the opener, when the Bullets outhit the Mules 16-12. Anderson, Kelley, Tom, and Moffitt all finished with two hits apiece.
 
Bray (1-0) scattered four hits and one walk while striking out three, yielding just an unearned run.
 
The Bullets supported Stopyra with single runs in each of the first four innings in the nightcap. Sophomore Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail) doubled leading off the first and scored on a Wright sacrifice fly before Moffitt doubled home a run in the second versus starter Sam Kasten. Back-to-back two-baggers from Wright and Klimowicz made it a 3-0 game in the third before junior John Convery (Media, Pa./Penncrest) added an RBI-single in the fourth.
 
Stopyra, in the meantime, was in command, allowing only one baserunner over each of the first five innings, with just one advancing to second. After a leadoff double from John Icaza and a one-out walk in the sixth, he was relieved by Lucido, who struck out a pair of Mules looking. In between the strikeouts was an error that led to Muhlenberg's lone run of the game.
 
Lucido went on to spin three shutout innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while working the longest outing of his career. Stopyra (3-1) scattered five hits and two walks while striking out four.
 
Hourigan led the Bullets at the plate in the second game, going 3-for-4 with a pair of runs while Probst, Wright, and Klimowicz all banged two hits.
 
Gettysburg visits McDaniel College at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday in another Centennial Conference match-up.
