Box Score

BALTIMORE – The Gettysburg College baseball team saw its season come to a close with a 4-1 loss to McDaniel College in the first elimination game of the Centennial Conference tournament Saturday morning at Johns Hopkins University.
 
The Bullets (24-17-1) outhit the Green Terror 10-9 but left 10 runners on base.
 
Junior Will Anderson (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) finished 3-for-4 at the plate for Gettysburg while sophomore Logan Sneed (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Academy) went 2-for-5 with a double. Sophomore Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail) was also 2-for-5 for the Bullets.
 
Junior Eric Brown (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) worked five-plus innings on the mound for Gettysburg and was charged with the loss. He yielded four runs on eight hits before giving way to freshman Jonny Bray (Fairfax, Va./Robinson), who fired three scoreless innings while allowing only a single.
 
Marty Windisch earned the win for McDaniel (31-10), which saw its season come to a close later in the day with a 5-0 loss to Johns Hopkins in the second elimination game. Windisch scattered 10 hits in a complete-game effort, striking out nine without walking a batter. Cameron Bahr led the Green Terror at the plate, going 3-for-4.
 
McDaniel never trailed after an RBI-double from Eric Grantland in the second made it 1-0. The Terror added two more runs in the third on a two-out, two-run single, but Brown (4-4) avoided further damage when he induced an inning-ending double play – the Bullets' second twin killing of the game.
 
Windisch (10-2) helped himself with a solo homer leading off the fifth. Bahr followed up with a single, but tried to stretch into a double and was thrown out at second by leftfielder Luke Lawrence (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East).
 
After retiring the final two batters in the fifth, Brown was lifted after Grantland led off with a single in the sixth, and Bray retired three straight batters. He worked out of jam in the seventh, when McDaniel had runners on first and second with one out, then tossed a three-up, three-down eighth.
 
Trailing 4-0, the Bullets threatened in the sixth, when it put runners on second and third with one out. Sneed led off with a double and Anderson singled, advancing to second on the throw. Senior Henry Klimowicz (Allenhurst, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) then ripped a shot back through the box, but it was knocked down by the pitcher for an out.
 
Gettysburg got on the scoreboard in the eighth, when Anderson singled before eventually scoring on an outfield error. The Bullets had the tying run on deck with runners on first and second in the eighth, but Windisch coaxed an inning-ending groundout.
 
Gettysburg finished with its fifth-straight 20-win season and posted school records for runs (303), doubles (95), triples (tied, 29), RBIs (262), and total bases (672).
