Gettysburg tied the game in the bottom of the sixth as junior Stephanie Leonardo (East Haddam, Conn./Choate Rosemary Hall) led off the inning with a single. After a sacrifice moved the pinch-runner to second base, senior Jamie Abell (Glenn Dale, Md./Elizabeth Seton) drove a single to right field to score the team's first run.
 
The Bullets completed the comeback in the seventh. Freshman Sarahrose Jonik (Glenmoore, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) singled to center field to start the inning and senior Genie Lavanant (Dingmans Ferry, Pa./Blair Academy) also reached on a her attempted sacrifice bunt as the defense was unable to get the lead runner.
