Game Notes FIRST PITCH Gettysburg plays its home opener this afternoon as it takes on the Penn State Altoona Lions in a non-conference outing. ALL-TIME SERIES Gettysburg leads Penn State-Altoona 3-2 in the all-time series that started in 1999. The Bullets have captured the last three meetings. FLORIDA TRIP The Bullets shook off a tough start and finished on a tear during its Spring Break trip to Florida last week. Gettysburg won the last five games of its southern swing by a combined score of 45-10 after a 1-3-1 start that included three one-run losses. A number of Bullets turned in outstanding performances at the plate during the trip, including junior outfielder Chuck Probst (.455 average, .659 slugging, 11 runs, five stolen bases), senior catcher Will Anderson (.452 average, .774 slugging, 11 runs, nine RBIs), and senior outfielder Connor Tom (.415 average, .683 slugging, 11 runs, 10 RBIs). On the mound, junior Brad DeMartino fired seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and striking out 10 during his lone appearance, while senior Rich Power allowed just one earned run over 11 2/3 innings, striking out 15. PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Anderson and DeMartino were honored by the Centennial Conference for their performances over the last eight games of the team’s Spring Break trip. Anderson was selected as the CC Co-Player of the Week while DeMartino was tabbed as the conference’s Pitcher of the Week. In addition, Anderson landed a spot on the D3baseball.com Team of the Week. He batted .542 and slugged .958 over the final eight games in Florida, helping the Bullets go 6-2 over the stretch. He smacked a double, three triples, and a home run, and he also piled up 10 runs and nine RBIs. He was even better during the team’s five-game winning streak to end the week, batting 10-for-15 with nine runs and seven RBIs. Defensively, he threw out two of three would-be base stealers for the week. DeMartino registered an outstanding season debut, tossing seven shutout innings in Gettysburg’s 12-0 win over Westminster. He carried a perfect game into the fifth inning, retiring the first 14 batters he faced. He finished with 10 strikeouts while allowing just four hits.
ing this season. Senior Connor Tom recorded his 100th career hit at Stevenson back on March 8 while classmate Will Anderson reached the same milestone versus Bethany in the first game of the team’s Spring Break trip. In addition, junior Brad DeMartino exceeded 100 career strikeouts versus Westminster in Florida. LAST MEETING WITH PENN STATE ALTOONA Gettysburg outhit Penn State Altoona 31-13 while both of the Bullets’ starting pitchers threw seven strong innings en route to a doubleheader sweep in Altoona last season. The Bullets won the opener 14-3 before capturing the nightcap 10-0 in a pair of games played at Peoples Natural Gas Field, home of the Altoona Curve, the Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Logan Sneed finished 5-for-11 for the day and was one of numerous Bullets who shined at the plate. Andy Kelley went 4-for-10 and enjoyed a huge performance in the second game, when he was 3-for-5 with two triples and a home run. Will Anderson finished 4-for-8 with four runs while Connor Tom was 4-for-10. Brad DeMartino started the opener, scattering nine hits and three runs while striking out a career-high 11. Rich Power yielded just three hits in the nightcap, striking out seven and walking none. SCOUTING THE LIONS A very young Penn State Altoona squad is off to an 8-9 start following its doubleheader split at Juniata yesterday. Of the 32 players dotting the Lions’ roster, 20 are freshmen. Junior Jim Shomberg is off to a strong start at the plate, hitting .393 and leading the team with 10 RBIs. He was named a D3baseball.com Preseason Honorable Mention All-American after batting .463 last year to finish sixth in Division III. On the mound, senior Jared Dailey has gone 3-0 over five appearances and two starts while freshman Hunter Breon has registered three saves.
