Senior Day

Series History
In the longest-running series against an opponent for the Diplomats, now spanning 120-plus years and 176 contests, the Gettysburg Bullets hold a 111-64-1 all-time edge. However, the battle has been much closer in recent years with F&M leading by a 7-5 margin since the 2012 season.
Another historic series continues with a doubleheader at home versus Haverford - which dates back to the 1916 season. The Diplomats dropped both games against the Fords last year in Lancaster and are searching for their first win over the Fords at Caplan since 2011.
Cole Named CC Pitcher of the Week
Starter Jonathan Cole produced a career outing on Saturday against No. 9 Swarthmore as the junior righty tossed a complete-game shutout, allowing just three hits and striking out eight in a crucial 1-0 win for Franklin & Marshall. He also walked just one batter in his full nine innings of work on the mound.

Horning also reached the 100-win plateau this season after sweeping Hampden-Sydney on Feb. 24.
