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.
