GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Erin Ober recorded four
hits and five RBIs to lead Gettysburg to a doubleheader sweep of
McDaniel in Centennial Conference (CC) softball action on Saturday.
The Bullets (26-9-1, 11-4-1 CC) took the opener 5-2 before holding
off the Green Terror (13-20, 3-11 CC) in the seventh inning for a
4-3 victory, claiming the conference's fourth and final
playoff spot.
In the bottom of the first, Ober drove in Nicole
Yannotta before stealing second, advancing to third on a
wild pitch and scoring on a throwing error for a 2-0
lead.
An error, passed ball, stolen base and sacrifice fly trimmed the
lead in half in the top of the second.
An Ober single up the middle scored Yannotta in the bottom of the
third to stretch the lead back to two before the Green Terror once
again closed the deficit to one on a Megan Elfert
(Finksburg, Md./Westminster) single in the top of the
sixth.
A Caitlin Bay two-run triple in the bottom of the
inning set the final margin.
In game two, doubles from Ober and Sarah Woodbury
staked the Bullets to a 2-0 lead in the third before Ober cracked a
two-run home run to left field to double the advantage in the
fifth.
A two-run triple from Kristina Skinner (Westminster,
Md./Westminster) and a Beans RBI single pulled McDaniel
within 4-3 in the top of the seventh with one out but Beth
McCullough got a pair of flyouts to strand the potential
tying run on first base.
McCullough struck out 10 in the nightcap to improve to 13-3 after
Kristy Rubino fanned five in the opener to move to
12-6.
The Green Terror concludes the conference schedule at Swarthmore on
Sunday. The first game of the doubleheader begins at 1
p.m.
