SWARTHMORE, Pa. – Senior Brad DeMartino (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) spun a four-hit complete game in the opener and the Gettysburg College baseball team came away with a split at Centennial Conference-leading Swarthmore on Saturday.
 
The Bullets (10-20, 4-10) earned a 3-1 win in the first game before the Garnet (24-9, 11-3 CC) claimed a 14-1 victory in the nightcap.
 
Gettysburg spotted DeMartino an early 1-0 lead with a run in the first. Freshman Harry Quimby (Wilmington, Del./Tower Hill) led off the game with a walk before scoring on a two-out single by sophomore Ryan LaCoe (Hershey, Pa./Hershey).
 
In the meantime, DeMartino (2-4) was in control from the start and no-hit Swarthmore through the first five innings. He retired nine straight batters before AJ Liu singled leading off the sixth. The Garnet tied the game at 1-1 when Cole Beeker singled home Liu.
 
Gettysburg reclaimed the lead with an unearned run in the seventh, when senior Logan Sneed (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Academy) roped a two-out, RBI-single. After setting down five in a row, DeMartino worked out of a major jam in the eighth, inducing a 1-2-3 inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.
 
The Bullets tacked on an insurance run in the ninth, when freshman Sean Murphy (Westfield, Mass./Westfield) drew a bases-loaded walk. DeMartino would close the game on a high note, working a three-up, three-down ninth while striking out the first and last batters of the inning. For the game, he fanned six and walked just one while tossing his seventh career complete game.
 
Sneed, senior Chuck Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail), and LaCoe all collected two hits in the opener.
 
Swarthmore starter Owen Webb absorbed the loss despite allowing just two runs (one earned) over 6 1/3 innings.
 
In the second game, junior Jonny Bray (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) made his first career start on the mound for Gettysburg. The Garnet scored three runs over the first three innings, but the Bullets made it a 3-1 game in the top of the fourth, when Probst doubled before scoring on a sacrifice fly from freshman Patrick McDermott (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Radnor).
 
The Garnet answered with a run in the bottom of the inning, then blew it open with 10 runs over the fifth and sixth innings.
 
Bray (1-1) pitched four innings and was charged with six runs. Four additional Bullets threw the final four innings, including freshman Sam Blanchard (Chatham, N.J./Chatham), who worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings, and junior Brendan Wright (Bayville, N.Y./Locust Valley), who fired a scoreless eighth.
 
Ricky Conti (7-2) pitched seven innings to earn the win for Swarthmore.
 
Gettysburg returns to the diamond on Tuesday, when it visits McDaniel at 3:30 p.m. in another Centennial Conference affair.
