Carlisle, Pa. - Dickinson College edged out visiting Gettysburg College 5-4 in Centennial Conference baseball action on Friday afternoon at MacPhail Field, marking the second time in as many games that the Red Devils topped the Bullets by the same, one-run scoreline. 
 
Dickinson (17-14, 5-7 CC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first on Friday, taking advantage of three errors and collecting two hits to push across the first two runs of the contest.
 
Gettysburg (15-17, 6-6 CC) leveled the contest up at two-apiece in their next trip to the plate. Junior JR McCloskey (Huntington Station, N.Y./Chaminade) connected on a two-run single that brought home freshman Jack Pistner (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) and sophomore David Preziuso (Middletown, Del./Caravel Academy).
 
The Red Devils went back in front, 3-2, in the home third courtesy of an RBI single from Andrew Mazzone, but the Bullets answered again in the top of the fifth when Pistner drew a bases-loaded walk that brought sophomore Tristan Neels (San Diego, Calif./Francis W. Parker) in with the tying run.
 
Dickinson went back in front in the home fifth on an RBI groundout from Cole Hare and pushed its lead to 5-3 the following inning on a solo home run from Luke Jackson.
 
Junior Preston Toothman (Orlando, Fla./William R. Boone) led off the visitor's eighth with a double, and Preziuso followed with a single to put runners on the corners with nobody out. McCloskey then delivered an RBI base hit, plating Toothman to make it a 5–4 game while putting runners on first and second with nobody out.
 
The Red Devils escaped without any further damage in the inning though, getting a pop-out double play on a bunt attempt followed by a groundout to strand the potential tying run at third base, one of 10 runners the Bullets would leave on base in the game.
 
Dickinson's Beau Dana retired the visitors in order in the ninth to save his second consecutive game against Gettysburg.
 
McCloskey led the Bullets offensively with a 2-for-4, three-RBI performance while Preziuso and Neels added two hits apiece.
 
Freshman starting pitcher Ian Gannaway (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) (2-2) suffered the loss after surrendering four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two batters in four innings of work.
 
Junior Andrew Weinbrum (Weston, Conn./Weston) yielded one run on three hits and one walk off the final four innings on the hill in relief of Gannaway.
 
For the game, Gettysburg held a 10-8 advantage in hits while committing three errors versus two miscues for Dickinson. 
 
Koll Peichel picked up the win on the mound for the Red Devils, who completed the sweep of the regular-season series with the Bullets after also winning 5-4 on Wednesday at Gettysburg.
