LANCASTER, Pa. -- Bobby Falese tied the Franklin & Marshall program record for RBI in a season, while Charlie Wright twirled his first career complete game in an 11-2 victory over Gettysburg on Friday afternoon. The Diplomats (22-13, 13-3 CC) pounced early on the Bullets (16-20, 7-9 CC), running up an insurmountable 7-1 lead by the third inning.

The win sets up a Centennial Conference (CC) showdown on Saturday between F&M and Swarthmore, as both squads enter with identical 13-3 conference records. The Diplomats need to take both from the Garnet to clinch the #1 seed in the CC postseason and host the weekend series at Caplan Field - a feat F&M hasn't accomplished since the 2013 season, and only three times in total.

While Gettysburg struck first with a two out, RBI single in the opening frame, the Diplomats wasted little time responding. An AJ Desautels triple that hooked into the corner scored Jakob Hoffman from first to knot things at 1-1. After a Pat Elliott walk, Patrick Cettina doubled down the left field line to score two, then Michael Cole followed with an RBI since to left for a 4-1 lead.

Cettina struck again in the third with an RBI single to center to plate two, followed by a Tommy Denlinger single to deep second that scored Desautels for a 7-1 lead.

The teams exchanged runs in the fourth, as Will Samuel's fielders choice plated Spencer Berson to keep the lead at six runs.

Another pair of runs crossed home in the sixth, as Bobby Falese knocked in run number 49 of the year on a single to right, tying the F&M single-season record. Falese now sits atop the record books with Andy Myers, who drove in his 49 runners twenty years ago in 2002.

Will Samuel again knocked another in on a fielder's choice for a 10-2 lead in the sixth. Conner Rush smacked an RBI single up the middle in the eighth to seal the 11-2 final.

Six different Diplomats had multi-hit games, including Patrick Cettina who knocked in four Diplomats.

While F&M kept scoring, Charlie Wright kept dealing. The senior righty tossed the first nine-inning complete game of the season for the Diplomats and of his career, scattering 11 hits across the game. Wright became the first Diplomat to allow double-digit hits in a nine-inning complete game, while his 38 batters faced ranks second in the record books.

F&M now travels to Swarthmore to face the Garnet, needing to sweep the doubleheader to earn hosting rights to the Centennial Conference Championship next weekend. The Diplomats and Garnet get started at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.
