VERO BEACH, Fla. – The Gettysburg College baseball team stayed hot offensively, scoring 18 runs in a doubleheader sweep of Norwich University on the next-to-last day of the team's Spring Break trip to Florida on Friday.
 
Playing in Holman Stadium, part of "Historic Dodgertown," the Bullets (4-6-1) won the opener 9-4 and captured the nightcap 9-3 while slugging eight extra-base hits, including three home runs. Gettysburg has now scored 28 runs and ripped 36 hits during its current three-game winning streak.
 
Several Bullets enjoyed big days at the plate, including senior Will Anderson (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central), who went 4-for-5 with five runs and four RBIs to go with a double, triple, and a home run. Junior Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail) finished 4-for-7 with five runs and a pair of doubles while going 4-for-4 on stolen bases. Senior Connor Tom (Reinholds, Pa./Conrad Weiser) finished 3-for-6 with four runs, three RBIs and a homer while freshman Dominick Gasparro (Clarksburg, N.J./Princeton Day School) also homered and drove in three runs.
 
Senior Eric Brown (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) worked an eight-hit, seven-inning complete game in the opener before sophomore Matt Ainsworth (Rockville, Md./Thomas S. Wootton) worked four-plus inning to pick up the win in the second game.
 
It was a pitcher's duel early on in the opener, and the Cadets (3-9) led 2-1 through four innings. Anderson singled in a run in the top of the first before Norwich scored twice in the second to take its only lead of the day. However, Brown would settle into a groove and retired 12 of 13 batters from the second through the sixth.
 
In the meantime, the Bullets broke through with seven runs over the fifth and sixth innings. In the fifth, Anderson cracked a three-run homer to cap a four-run inning and chase starter Kaleb Smith. Gettysburg added three runs in the sixth, getting a two-run double from Probst and a run-scoring single from freshman Joe Giovinco (Stirling, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) that made it 8-2. The Bullets tacked on an insurance run in the seventh, when Anderson led off with a double and scored on a single from junior Logan Sneed (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Academy).
 
The Cadets scored a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh, and back-to-back two-out singles put two more runners on base. But Brown ended the game with a groundout.

It was the sixth career complete game for Brown (1-1), who struck out two and did not issue a walk.
 
Probst finished 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBIs, and two doubles in the opener while Anderson went 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs.
 
The Bullets took the lead from the start in the nightcap, scoring three times in the bottom of the first, capped by an RBI-triple from Anderson. Gettysburg added three-spots in both the third and fourth to open up a 9-0 advantage.
 
Gasparro capped the third with a two-run homer – the first long ball of his career – before Tom cracked a two-run shot of his own in the fourth. Gasparro drove home the team's final run of the day with a double in the fourth.
 
Making his first collegiate start, Ainsworth was in control early on, blanking the Cadets on four hits through the opening four innings. The Bullets carried their 9-0 lead into the fifth, when Norwich finally reached Ainsworth with three runs on four hits. Freshman Jack Havard (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) came on to get the final out of the fifth, then closed out the game with a pair of scoreless innings.
 
Tom finished 3-for-3 with three runs and three RBIs, Anderson scored three runs, Probst stole three bases in the second game.
 
Ainsworth (1-0) earned his first collegiate victory, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings. Havard yielded just one hit while fanning three over 2 1/3 innings of work.
 
Gettysburg concludes its trip on Saturday, when it plays Kenyon College in a doubleheader starting at 10 a.m.
