THE SKINNY STORY
Hood used the fourth and fifth innings to build a 4-0 lead before the Bullets got on the scoreboard in the sixth. Gettysburg then scored two runs in the top of the ninth but couldn't complete the comeback, falling to the Blazers 4-3.
THE LEADERS
•
Will Stellato (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde) led the Bullets offensively with two doubles, and RBI, and a run.
FOR THE FOES
• Sebastian Paz paced the Blazers with two hits on three appearances, including a double and an RBI.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Gettysburg had three hits and Hood had one in the opening 3.5 innings of play, but it would take until the bottom of the fourth for either team to crack the scoreboard. After a leadoff groundout, the Blazers strung together three straight singles before plating two runs on an error. The hosts made it 3-0 with RBI groundout. The following inning, Hood drew a leadoff walk before two straight outs. A failed pickoff attempt put runners at the corners, and a two-out RBI single by Jacob Saylor increased the Blazers' lead to 4-0.
• The Bullets got on the board in the top of the sixth after
Jack Pistner (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) doubled and advanced to third on a flyout. A groundout by
Adam Hicks (Edgewater, Md./Gilman School) brought Pistner home for a 4-1 score. Hood tallied three hits over the next two innings but neither team could score as the three-run margin held until the ninth inning.
• In the top of the ninth, Hicks led off with a single before stealing second.
Robert Murphy (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Governor Livingston) drew a walk before a double by
Will Stellato brought both runners home. A double play by the Blazers made it two outs for
David Preziuso (Selbyville, Del./Caravel Academy), who singled to bring home the final run before a game-ending flyout.
THE INSIDE STORY
• Hood finished with eight hits, while Gettysburg had seven.
•
Tyler Lizell (Upper Dublin, Pa./Upper Dublin) pitched 1.0 inning, allowing just one hit and striking out three.
