WESTMINSTER, Md. – For the Gettysburg College baseball team, the feeling went from bitter to sweet in less than an hour.

 After seeing their 10-game winning streak snapped with a 5-2 Centennial Conference (CC) loss at McDaniel College, the Bullets qualified for the four-team CC Tournament after Ursinus won 9-4 in 10 innings at Swarthmore.

 Gettysburg (25-11, 11-5 CC) will make its first conference playoff appearance since 2007. Seedings and pairings will be determined based on the outcome of Saturday's games.

Against McDaniel (19-15, 8-8 CC), it was a pitcher's duel in the early going, with senior Ryan Taylor and David Pisauro throwing shutout ball through the first five and a half innings. But the Green Terror would break through to score five runs over its last three innings as the two sides split their season series following Gettysburg's 3-1 win on Tuesday.

 Taylor (5-3) threw all eight innings for his 22nd career complete game, which ties the school record set by Drew Chiesa from 1998-2001. He also tied Chiesa's Gettysburg record for career games started (36).

 Junior Al Posch doubled in his final at-bat to push his hitting streak to 21 games, but senior Pat Cody finished 0-for-3 with a walk, ending his hitting streak at 23.

 Pisauro (3-5) went 7 2/3 innings and struck out 11 to earn the win for the Green Terror, which snapped a seven-game losing streak to Gettysburg, before James Chiorello blanked the Bullets the rest of the way to pick up the save.

 Taylor was in command early on. Though he gave up a single in each of the first four innings, only one runner advanced beyond first, and he worked a three-up, three-down fifth.

 In the meantime, Pisauro retired 16 of the first 17 batters he faced, yielding only a leadoff single to sophomore Scott Zanghellini in the third. Junior Cam MacDonald singled and was bunted to second by classmate Austin Davis in the sixth, but Pisauro induced an inning-ending groundout.

 McDaniel broke through with two runs on three hits and an error in the sixth. Tyler Jackow and Marty Windisch led off with back-to-back singles before an error loaded the bases. After a flyout, Pat Christopher singled home a pair of runs to make it 2-0.

 The Bullets answered with a run in the top of the seventh. Junior Tommy LeNoir singled  leading off and came around to score following singles from classmates Nate Simon and Ben Roessle. But with runners on first and second, Pisauro struck out the final two batters in the inning.

 McDaniel pulled away with three unearned runs over its next two innings. The Terror plated two runs on two hits, an error, and a sacrifice fly in the seventh before pushing across another run on four hits and an error in the eighth. Posch and Roessle prevented further damage by throwing runners out at the plate for the final two outs.

 Trailing 4-1, Gettysburg threatened in the top of the eighth. With two outs, Posch doubled before LeNoir reached on an error. In his final at-bat of the day, Cody drew a four-pitch walk to chase Pisauro before Simon nearly greeted Chiorello with a grand slam. But his drive down the rightfield line drifted just foul. He would go on to walk in a run, but Chiorello got out of it with a fielder's choice.

 Chiorello went on to toss a three-up, three-down ninth.

 Jackow and Christopher each finished with three hits for McDaniel while Christopher also had three stolen bases.

 Gettysburg plays its Centennial Conference regular season finale on Saturday, when it hosts Haverford in a doubleheader starting at 12:30 p.m. on Senior Day and Project ALS Day.
