UD Baseball team sweeps doubleheader
from
NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware baseball team
(7-11) fought through a day of good pitching and clutch
hitting to win its fifth and sixth straight games and sweep
a doubleheader from Princeton (3-10) on Saturday at the
Delaware Diamond. Delaware won 2-1 in the first game and 1-0
in the second with both wins coming in the Hens final at
bat.
In the first game Princeton jumped ahead in the second
inning on an RBI ground out by Ryan Acheteberg which plated
Max Krance to take a 1-0 lead. Delaware struck back in the
bottom of the third on an RBI double by Peter
Maestrales to score Andrew Salvo. Dave
Mullin,who pitched his second straight complete game,
and Tim Killgoer of Princeton waged a pitchers duel for the
rest of the game. In the seventh inning reliever Jeff Golden
came in with runners on first and third and gave up the game
winning hit to Kevin Mench with two outs.
In the second game Delaware pitcher Rich McGuire,
who made his first collegiate start, and Princeton hurler
Jason Quintana engaged in pitchers duel. McGuire pitched a
complete game shutout, while Quintana retired 15 straight
Delaware hitters until the bottom of the seventh. With two
outs in the seventh Chris Kolodzey got a base hit and
Frank DiMaggio followed with a bunt single which
advanced Kolodzey to third. First baseman Ken Giles
delivered a two-out base hit to plate Kolodzey as the Hens
won in their last at bat for the second time in the
doubleheader.
Delaware was led by Mullin and McGuire who strung
together two stellar complete game pitching performances.
McGuire struck out six and only allowed four hits in seven
innings to knotch a complete game shutout in his first
collegiate start for Delaware, while Mullin pitched his
second straight complete game giving up only one run in
seven innings of work. Delaware pitchers have now given up
two runs or less in seven out of the last eight games. Mench
was 3-7 with one RBI on the day which won the first end of
the doubleheader, while Giles went 2-6 on the day with one
RBI which won the second game of the doubleheader. Salvo was
2-6 and scored two out of the Hens three runs on the day.
Quintana highlighted the day for the Tigers by baffling the
Hens for most of the second game retiring 15 batters in a
row and pitching 6 2/3 innings and only giving up one
run.
Delaware will be in action next on Sunday against
Wilmington College. The starting time which was originally
scheduled to be 12 noon has been changed to 1 p.m. at the
