WILMINGTON, DE - Behind 15 runs, 17 hits and a combined shoutout from Rich McGuire and Jeff Romond in game two, the University of Delaware salvaged a split with Dartmouth College, losing 5-1 in the first game, and taking the second game 15-0, Saturday afternoon at Frawley Stadium.

In game two, Delaware jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first inning, highlighted by a Chris Kolodzey (Cherry Hill, NJ/ Cherry Hill East) single that drove in Casey Fahy (Clayton, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) and Vince Vukovich (Voorhees, NJ/Eastern). Dartmouth pitcher Brian Gattis faced the first six batters of the game and allowed each of them to reach base. As a result, all six batters scored to put Delaware up 6-0.

 

Delaware continued the rout as it scored in each of its next four innings. Peter Maestrales (Delray Beach, FL/Pope John Paul II) doubled knocking in junior Andrew Salvo (East Islip, NY/St. Anthony's) as he scored one of his four runs in the game. The Hens got two in the third when junior Bobby Fry (Anaheim Hills, CA/Canyon) hit the Hens first homerun of the season, a two-run homer knocking in Steve Harden (Wilmington, DE/Dickinson) on the shot. Delaware picked up two runs in each of the next two innings to seal the victory. Every Delaware offensive starter had a hit.

McGuire (Wantagh, NY/MacArthur) pitched six innings of three-hit shutout baseball for the victory. He also retired eight batters on strikeouts. Co-captain Romond (Berkeley Heights, NJ/Gov. Livingston) came into the game in the seventh for the Hens.

In game one, Dartmouth defeated the Hens 5-1, behind a complete-game four hitter from pitcher Conor Brooks. Dartmouth scored two in the first inning and three in the second to lead 5-1. After a double by Fahy and a single by Vukovich that drove in Fahy in the first inning, Delaware had just two other hits, which were singles by Kolodzey and John Schneider (Lawrenceville, NJ/Lawrence). Dave Mullin (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley) fell to 1-1 following the loss to Dartmouth. Vic Sage (Springfield, PA/Springfield) also appeared for two innings on the mound for the Hens.

Dartmouth (1-1) will travel to play America East foe Hofstra in a doubleheader on Sunday.

Delaware (2-3) will battle Rider on Tuesday at Delaware Diamond at 3 p.m.
