Coastal Carolina 7, Delaware 4
Saturday, February 26, 2000


CONWAY, SC - Another strong day at the plate from junior second baseman Andrew Salvo was not enough as the University of Delaware dropped its second straight baseball game to Coastal Carolina, 7-4, Saturday afternoon at Coastal Carolina.

Delaware (1-2) had an effective day from Salvo (S. Huntington, NY/St. Anthony's), who went two for three at the plate with two RBI and a run scored.

Delaware got out to a 2-0 lead in the first when Salvo doubled home Casey Fahy (Clayton, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) and Bobby Fry (Anaheim Hills, CA/Canyon) who both reached base on walks to open the game.

Coastal Carolina (10-2) narrowed the gap in the second when Chanticleer catcher Jason Davis scored on Peter Maestrales fieding error (Delray Beach, FL/Pope John Paul II) off the bat of Shawn Vinju. The Chants took the lead in the third when first baseman Chad Felty singled to center driving home Brooks Marzka.

The Hens tied the score in the top half of the fourth (3-3) when Maestrales scored on a Ryan Preziosi (Westmont, NJ/Haddon Twp.) sacrifice fly. The Hens regained the lead when Salvo stole home in the fifth.

Coastal regained the advantage in the bottom half of the fifth (5-4) when Brooks Marzka doubled down the left field line off of starter Tim Lorito (Huntington Station, NY/Connetquote), driving in Mario Gianfortune. Marzka later scored on Jeff Romond (Berkeley Hts., NJ/Gov. Livingston) wild pitch. Coastal added two more runs, one in seventh and one in the eighth to seal the game at 7-4.

Delaware's Vince Vukovich (Voorhees, NJ/Eastern) and Chris Kolodzey (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) were the only other Hens to get hits on the afternoon.
