Sherman Wins First Game as Blue Hen Head Coach


Jason Vincent

MYRTLE BEACH, SC - The University of Delaware baseball team gave new head coach Jim Sherman his first career victory at Delaware as the Blue Hens posted a 6-1 victory over Kent State in the second round of the Baseball at the Beach Tournament Saturday at Coastal Federal Field.

In their second game of the day, the Blue Hens (1-2) fell to host Coastal Carolina (8-4) by a score of 9-8. The Blue Hens lost the opener of the tournament to Coastal Carolina by a 5-3 score on Friday.

Sherman, an assistant at Delaware the last six seasons, took over for Hall of Fame coach Bob Hannah who retired last spring following a 36-year career that included over 1,000 victories. Sherman previously posted a record of 215-125 in seven seasons at NAIA power Wilmington (DE) College before joining the Delaware staff.

Delaware sophomore Jason Vincent (1-0) put in an impressive performance on the mound for the Blue Hens vs. Kent State, allowing just seven hits, one earned run, and striking out eight batters without a walk. The Blue Hens banged out eight hits on the day as third baseman Peter Maestrales knocked in two runs and right fielder Chris Kolodzey hit a solo home run, his first of the season, to lead off the second inning. Casey Fahy, Kris Dufner, and Steve Harden also knocked in runs for the Hens.

Jason Biniker took the loss for Kent State (0-2), allowing five five hits and three earned runs in five innings. Designated hitter John VanBenschoten went 4 for 4 for the Flash.

In the nightcap, Coastal Carolina designated hitter Adam Keim banged out four hits, including three doubles, and knocked in six runs to lead the Chanticleers.

Delaware tied the score at 3-3 in the top of the sixth, but Coastal Carolina answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning and added two more in the eighth for the win. The Hens scored five runs in the ninth but the rally fell short as Vince Vukovich grounded out with a runner on second base to end the game.

Delaware banged out 11 hits vs. Coastal Carolina as second baseman Andrew Salvo went 3 for 5 with an RBI and shortstop Kris Dufner was 2 for 4. Vic Sage (0-1) took the loss for the Hens, allowing five earned runs in 5.2 innings. Brian Fischer (1-0) picked up the win for Coastal Carolina as he struck out 11 UD batters in seven innings. Steve Soja pitched two-thirds of an inning for the save.
