PHILADELPHIA - Behind an offensive explosion which included at least five-hits each from Reid Gorecki, Andrew Salvo and Peter Maestrales, the University of Delaware trounced Drexel University, 17-5 and 13-3, Saturday afternoon in baseball at Drexel Field.

Delaware (17-10, 5-1) got out to a quick start in game one as the Hens put up a four-spot in the first, behind back-to-back singles from Gorecki (East Rockaway, NY/Kellenberg Memorial) and Salvo (East Islip, NY/St. Anthony's), followed by back-to back doubles from Chris Kolodzey (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) and Maestrales (Delray Beach, FL/Pope John Paul II) which got the ball rolling for the Hens.

Delaware Outfielder
Reid Gorecki
The Hens had multiple runs scored in the first, sixth and seventh innings, scoring five in the latter two. The Hens had doubles from Casey Fahy (Clayton, NJ/Gloucester Catholic), two from Kolodzey, Maestrales and Kris Dufner (Philadelphia, PA/Father Judge). John Schneider (Lawrenceville, NJ/Lawrence) had quite a day as he added his fourth and fifth homeruns of the season.

Starter Rich McGuire (Wantagh, NY/MacArthur) pitched a complete game, recording 10 strikeouts and two walks.

Game two featured more of the same offense for the Hens as they got out to a 10-0 lead before the Dragons could show any life on the scoreboard. The Hens saw Bobby Fry (Anaheim Hills, CA/Canyon) have a four for four game which included a double, his fourth of the year. Kolodzey added two more doubles and Vince Vukovich (Voorhees, NJ/Eastern) had his second triple of the season. Gorecki finished the day having gone six for eight at the plate.

Delaware's second game starter, Jason Vincent (Seaford, DE/Seaford) pitched a six-hit complete game enroute to a one walk, eight strikeout performance.

Delaware will continue its America East series with Drexel (10-17, 2-4) on Sunday with another doubleheader beginning at 12 noon.
