FIRST PITCH: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) doubleheader marks the 84th and 85th all-time meetings between No. 21 Gettysburg (24-8, 3-7 CC) and Ursinus (17-14, 4-7 CC) in a series that dates back to 1896. The Bears lead the all-time series 48-34-1 and have won three straight. The Bullets won three in a row before that.

LAST SEASON'S SERIES: Ursinus scored five runs in the seventh inning of game two to break a 10-all deadlock and complete a sweep of Gettysburg. The Bears won game one 7-6 and took game two, 15-12. David Preziuso led the Bullets with four hits and four RBIs in the twinbill. Jakob Cantor led the Bears with five hits and three RBIs. (Full Recap) (Game 1 Box) (Game 2 Box)

LAST TIME OUT: Gettysburg, ranked 21st, scored 11 runs in the top of the first inning before McDaniel came back to take a 17-16 lead in the sixth inning. The Bullets, however, regained the lead in the top of the seventh with a four-run frame and held on to win 21-17 on Friday. Jack Pistner led the barrage with a Centennial Conference record-tying three home runs and seven RBIs for the Bullets. Jack Burke had four hits, three RBIs and three runs scored. Ben Davis led the Green Terror with a 5-for-5 day, adding three runs scored and two RBIs. (Full Recap) (Box Score)

THANK YOU, SENIORS!: Today is senior day for 12 members of the Gettysburg Baseball Class of 2025. The group has been instrumental in leading the Bullets to their highest national ranking in program history earlier this season at 13th. The group has posted an overall record of 78-74 over the last four seasons to date.

GETTING OFFENSIVE: Gettysburg and McDaniel played the most offensive game in the 132-game history of the series between the two longtime rivals with a 21-17 Bullets victory in Westminster on Friday - three days after the teams played a 12-11 game three days earlier that was called after eight innings due to darkness. The teams combined for 38 runs and 38 hits and all 18 starters had at least one hit with 15 recording multiple hits. Jack Pistner tied the Centennial Conference record with three home runs a game, going deep in his first three at bats over the first three innings. Jack Burke had four hits on the day to join Pistner in the 100-hit club.

LAST TIME OUT: Haverford jumped out to a 7-3 lead through three innings and defeated Ursinus 12-9 on Friday in Collegeville. (Full Recap) (Box Score)

GOING THE WRONG WAY: After starting the year 4-2 in conference play, the Bears have dropped six straight. In three of those six losses, Ursinus has surrendered 12 or more runs while scoring nine or more itself. However, just 65 of the 91 runs the Bears have given up in conference play have been earned and the 5.63 staff ERA in conference games ranks fourth in the CC.
