THE SKINNY STORY
Gettysburg put up big second innings in both games to sweep Haverford. The Bullets scored four in the second inning of game one as part of a 6-2 victory before plating five in the second inning of game two en route to an 8-0, run-rule win for the sweep.
THE LEADERS
•
Olivia Moser (Robbinsville, N.J./Robbinsville) led the Bullets with three hits and three RBIs on the afternoon, including a solo home run in game two.
•
Jess Campana (Brick, N.J./St. John Vianney) added four hits.
FOR THE FOES
• Mia Kessinger paced the Fords with three hits in the two games.
THE REST OF THE STORY
•
Giovanna Komst (Londonderry, N.H./Londonderry) poked a one-out single into right field in the bottom of the second inning of game one. After a
Jess Campana single to the gap, a throwing error on a ground ball loaded the bases with no outs.
Lily Mader (Las Vegas, Nev./Valley) followed with a two-run double for a 2-0 lead. After a strikeout,
Lauren O'Leary (Manasquan, N.J./Jackson Memorial) sliced a double into right to score two more and stretch the lead to 4-0.
•
Julia Smith (Marydel, Md./Queen Anne's County) and
Olivia Moser led off the third with back-to-back singles. After a wild pitch moved both runners up a base, Campana singled home both runners for a 6-0 lead.
•
Paige Forry (Reading, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) continued to cruse, allowing just one baserunner through the first four innings before Jocelyn Lee led off the fifth inning with a chopper to the right side that took a high hop into right field. A Molly Kaufman sacrifice attempt stayed on the line for a bunt single and runners at first and second. After a throwing error on the next sacrifice attempt score the first Haverford run of the game, a successful sacrifice moved two into scoring position with one out. A wild pitch on a strikeout loaded the bases for Addie Sapirstein, who lofted a sacrifice fly to left to make it 6-2.
• In game two,
Allegra DeCandia (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) lined a single into left to start the second inning. After a sacrifice and flyout,
Carlie Goldstein (Verona, N.J./Verona) drew a walk. Mader followed with an infield single to load the bases before a wild pitch scored DeCandia for a 1-0 lead.
Bailey Quinn (Hanford, Calif./Robinson Secondary School [Va.]) worked a walk to load the bases before O'Leary and Smith each drew back-to-back bases-loaded walks to make it a 3-0 game and force a pitching change. Moser followed with a single to center, scoring Quinn and O'Leary for a 5-0 lead.
• The Bullets were limited to just one baserunner after that until Moser led off the home fifth with a line-drive home run to left field. DeCandia followed with another single to left and Komst poked a single up the middle to put the game-ending runs on base. After a flyout, Goldstein drove a ball to the fence in left for a double to score pinch-runner
Katherine Speltz (East Greenwich, R.I./Moses Brown School) and Komst to end the game.
