WILMINGTON, Del.- Jason Vincent pitched a complete-game shutout to lead the University of Delaware to a 7-0 win over Towson University as the Blue Hens won their fourth-straight America East Baseball Championship at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium.

Vincent allowed 11 hits, but did not walk a batter and was aided by two double plays, in improving to 9-2 on the season. He struck out nine and helped the Blue Hens, 44-13, set an America East tournament record for ERA. Delaware received complete games from Rich McGuire, Vic Sage and Vincent in allowing four runs in three games for an ERA of 1.33. It marked the first time in 70 games the Tigers, 37-32, had been shutout.

Delaware scored all the runs it would need in the first inning off Towson starter and loser Brock Shaffer, who allowed four runs in 1.1 innings. The Blue Hens started a two-out rally when Peter Maestrales walked and Chris Kolodzey tripled into the right field corner to score Maestrales. Kolodzey then scored on a wild pitch for a 2-0 lead.

The Blue Hens added two in the second inning when Shaffer issued walks to John Schneider and Kris Dufner to start the inning. After a groundout, Steve Harden singled through the left side to score Schneider and Andrew Salvo doubled down the right field line to plate Dufner for a 4-0 lead.
 

Jason Vincent scattered 11 hits in firing his third shutout of the season.


Towson's Gregg Davies was named the tourney MOP after going 11 for 19 with six RBI on the weekend.

Delaware made it 6-0 in the fourth inning when Schneider led off with a single and Dufner followed with a home run to right field.

The Blue Hens completed the scoring in the fifth inning when Vukovich hit a two-out solo home run over the right field wall.

Vincent was working out of trouble all afternoon. The right-hander did not retire the side in order in any inning and allowed two base runners in each of the first three innings. The Tigers threatened in the first when Jimmy Kittelberger and Gregg Davies, the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, had back-to-back one-out singles before Vincent struck out Scott Bacon and Casey Stidham to end the rally.

Kittelberger and Davies, who was 11-for-19 with six RBI in the four games in the tournament, had singles to start the third inning, but Bacon grounded out, Stidham struck out and Mike Costello grounded out to end the threat.

The Blue Hens advance to the NCAA Baseball Championship for the fourth straight season. The pairings will be announced at 3 p.m. ET Monday.
