UD Baseball defeats LaSalle 9-1 for Second Straight Win
NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware baseball team (3-11) picked up where it left off yesterday slugging its way to a 9-1 victory over LaSalle for the Hens 12th straight win over the Explorers. The Blue Hens struck early on a first inning leadoff home run by Andrew Salvo, who has now hit four salvo's in his last five games. LaSalle evened up the score at one in the top of the second inning, but Delaware answered in the bottom of the second on a grandslam by shortstop Peter Maestrales, the Hens second slam in as many days. Delaware picked up one more run in the fifth inning and two in the sixth inning to push the score out to 8-1. The Hens got one more run, but Bryan Porcelli did not need the support pitching eight innings and giving up only one run while striking out five batters. Delaware was led by Maestrales who hit a grand slam and went two for five on the day, while Salvo and Frank DiMaggio both went three for four on the day and each had one stolen base. Porcelli had his second straight strong pitching performance going eight innings and allowing no earned runs. He has given up two earned runs in his last 15 innings of pitching. For LaSalle Jordan Nicgorski scored the only run, while Hal Mitchell had a rough outing going seven innings and giving up seven runs and 13 hits. Delaware will be in action on Sunday when it travels to Philadelphia to take on LaSalle at 1 p.m.
