March 21, 1999 UD Baseball wins third straight game 4-2 over LaSalle PHILADELPHIA, PA -- The University of Delaware baseball team (4-11) won its third straight game by defeating LaSalle (6-8) in a rain shortened six inning game 4-2 on Sunday in Philadelphia, Pa. Both teams were scoreless for the first three and a half innings until LaSalle broke through with a Mike Bell single to bring in Kevin Ibach and then on double play by Matt Duffy that plated Bell to put the Explorers up 2-0 after four innings. However, Delaware struck right back in the top of the fifth inning on a two out RBI single by Andrew Salvo which scored Chris Kolodzey and then on a three-run home run by Vince Vukovich which put the Hens up 4-2 after four and a half innings. Vic Sage came in for the Hens and pitched two scoreless innings until the game was prematurely halted due to rain. Sage picked up the win for Delaware while Toby Fisher who pitched five innings and gave up four runs picked up the loss for LaSalle. Delaware was led by Vukovich who hit the game winning three-run homer and was two for three with three RBI on the day. Salvo drove in the other run for Delaware. Jeff Romond was the starting pitcher for the Blue Hens and pitched four innings giving up two runs and striking out two before Sage came in for relief and picked up his first win on the season. LaSalle had runs driven in by Mike Cavallaro and by Matt Duffy and got five innings out of the starter Fisher who got the loss giving up four earned runs. Delaware will be in action next on Thursday March 25, at the Delaware Diamond when the Hens take on Temple at 3 p.m. Delaware (4-11) 000 040 4 6 1 LaSalle (6-8) 000 200 2 6 0 Pitching: UD: Romond, Sage (5) and McSherry LU: Fisher, Blasetti (6) and Fuchs E: Romond DP: UD (1), LU (1) LOB: UD-3, LU-8 2B: Mench (2), Kolodzey (5), Wittmeyer HR: Vukovich (3) SB: Ibach, Dufner (1) WP- Sage 1-2 LP-Fisher 2-2 - DDD |
