DEL VAL POSTS 13-2 WIN OVER WILKES BASEBALL

DOYLESTOWN, PA – Host Delaware Valley used an eight-run fourth inning to open up a double digit lead on way to a 13-2 win over Wilkes University Friday afternoon from Frank Wolfgang Field.

Wilkes drops to 12-25 overall and 3-16 in Freedom play. DVC improves to 15-19 overall and 7-12 in league games.

DVC jumped out to a 5-0 lead after three innings of play scoring one in the second and four in the third. Wilkes responded with a run in the fourth as Tyler Marino (Wilkes-Barre, PA/Meyers) and Tay Sidler (Pottsville, PA/Pottsville Area) opened the frame with base hits. Marino would later score on an RBI single from Bobby Schappell (Pottsville, PA/Pottsville) to cut the lead to 5-1.

DVC then exploded for eight runs in the bottom half of the frame using nine hits including two, two-run triples.

The Colonels scored one more run in the eighth as Sidler started the inning with a double and later crossed the plate on a Schappell hit.

Sidler and Schappel led the Wilkes offense each going 3-for-4 with Schappell providing the two Wilkes RBI's. Matt Ruch (Dallas, PA/Holy Redeemer) and Carmen Lopresto (Pittston, PA/Pittston Area) added two hits apiece.

Zach Lazar (Berwick, PA/Berwick Area) suffered the loss on the mound going three innings allowing nine runs on ten DVC hits.
