Sunday, May 14, 2000
TOWSON, MD - A six for seven day at
the plate and four stolen bases from Andrew Salvo
along with a one-run, six-hit performance from Vic
Sage, allowed Delaware to salvage a split with Towson,
Sunday afternoon at Burdick Field in Towson, MD. Delaware
fell 7-6 in eight innings in the opener, but stormed back to
take the nightcap, 8-1. The win was the 1050th of Bob
Hannah's career and is the final regular season game of his
coaching career.
Delaware (34-18, 19-5 AMERICA EAST) was
led by Salvo (East Islip, NY/St. Anthony's), who not only
had a stellar day at the plate, but tied the school record
for stolen bases in a season with 31 (last done by Mark
Rubini in 1986). Salvo finished the weekend series going 11
for 15 at the plate.
The Hens fell behind in game one 2-0, but
rallied and took the lead in the third inning, 4-2. Reid
Gorecki (East Rockaway, NY/Kellenberg Memorial) got the
ball rolling with a one-out double to right center. Vince
Vukovich (Voorhees, NJ/Eastern), followed with a double
down the right field line, scoring Gorecki. Salvo hit a
single to the right side to drive home Vukovich, while
Peter Maestrales (Delray Beach, FL/Pope John Paul II)
closed out the inning's scoring binge with his team-leading
13th homerun, clearing the left center field fence. The Hens
added two in the fifth behind a Vukovich double, Salvo
single and a Chris Kolodzey (Cherry Hill, NJ/East)
RBI groundout.
|

Senior
Ryan Preziosi went 2-3 in game two in his final
regualr season game as a Fightin' Blue Hen. He had
a single, double and was hit by a pitch to aid
Delaware to an 8-1 victory in game two.
|
Leading 6-2, the Hens could not hold on as
the Tigers scored three in the sixth, one in the seventh and
won the game in the eighth when Tim Pritchard singled to
centerfield, driving home Tom Trela. Delaware's Jason
Vincent (Seaford, DE/Seaford) went the distance for the
Hens in game one, striking out five.
The Hens and Tigers played two scoreless
innings of baseball in game two before the Hens broke
through for three in the third. Senior Ryan Preziosi
(Westmont, NJ/Haddon Twp.), who reached base in every at
bat in this game, opened the inning being struck by a Bryan
Rogers pitch. Preziosi then stole his first of two bases on
the afternoon, before he moved over to third on a Gorecki
bunt single. Vukovich knocked Preziosi home with a single up
the middle, moving Gorecki to third. Salvo followed with an
RBI single. Maestrales hit a sacrifice fly to left, driving
home Vukovich.
Delaware put together three runs in the
fifth behind singles from Salvo, Maestrales, Bobby Fry
(Anaheim Hills, CA/Canyon) and Preziosi. In the sixth,
the Hens added two runs when Gorecki and Salvo scored on a
wild pitch.
Starting pitcher Sage (Springfield,
PA/Springfield) pitched a completegame, striking out four
while giving up just one run on six hits. Delaware will take
on Northeastern, who lost twice to Vermont on Sunday,
falling 5-4 and 8-4. The other America East first round game
will feature No. 2 seed Towson (31-21-1, 19-9 AMERICA EAST)
against No. 3 seed Vermont (27-20, 16-10 AMERICA EAST) at
3:30 p.m. All America East Baseball Championship Tournament
action will take place at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium in
Wilmington, DE on May 18-20, 2000.
