DOYLESTOWN, PA – Freshman Patrick Condo (Dallas, PA/Holy Redeemer) threw a five-hit shutout in game one and the Colonels bats erupted for seven runs in game two to post a clean sweep of Delaware Valley College Saturday afternoon in Freedom Conference baseball action. Wilkes took game one 2-0 behind the brilliant pitching of Condo then posted a 7-2 victory in the night cap.

The Colonels offense broke open a tie game in the fifth when Bobby Schappell (Pottsville, PA/Pottsville) singled up the middle scoring Nick Craig (Springfield, PA/The Haverford School). Tyler Marino (Wilkes-Barre, PA/Meyers) added an insurance run in the sixth when he connect on an RBI single through the right side scoring Stephen Ruch (Dallas, PA/Holy Redeemer).

The Wilkes offense produced seven runs on seven hits in game two on way to the win. After drawing a bases loaded walk in the first, Joe Dantas (Reading, PA/Fleetwood) drive in two more runs in the fifth with a double to left centerfield.
