Gorecki's bunt single wins game in the 10th


Chris Kolodzey had an RBI triple and scored the game-winning run

NEWARK, DE -- Chris Kolodzey scored on a bunt single by Reid Gorecki in the bottom of the tenth inning to give the Delaware baseball team a 4-3 win and a three-game weekend sweep over Penn State Sunday at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Earlier in the day, the Blue Hens defeated the Nittany Lions, 15-7, in a game that was halted due to darkness after the teams played six innings on Saturday.

Delaware (9-5), which has now won eight straight games since starting the season 1-5, trailed Penn State 2-1 heading into the bottom of the eighth, but Frank Fresconi hit a two-run home run, his first as a Blue Hen, to put UD ahead. However, the Lions (6-14) tied the game in the ninth on a two-out single by Doug Rodio.

In the tenth, Kolodzey and John Schneider walked with one out. After a strikeout, Kolodzey stole third and Schneider stole second. Gorecki then laid down a perfect bunt to shortstop while Kolodzey sped home with the winning run.

Both teams scored in the first inning. Penn State got a sacrifice fly from Rodio, while Kolodzey tripled home Andrew Salvo for the Hens. Penn State took a 2-1 lead in the sixth on an RBI single by Mike DeRenzo.

Briarcliffe Community College transfer Mike Pelcher picked up his first win as a Blue Hen, pitching four innings in relief, allowing just five hits and one unearned run. Delaware freshman Mike Mihalik also turned in a strong performance, allowing seven hits and two runs in six innings.

In the first game, play started in the top of the seventh with the Hens up 15-6. Nick Spiewak finished the game for UD, allowing three hits and one run to get the save.

Delaware will look to continue its winning streak Tuesday when the Hens travel to Temple to take on the Owls in a 3 p.m. start.
