Blue Hens Freshman Billy Sullivan IV Earns CAA Rookie of the Week Honors


RICHMOND, Va.— University of Delaware freshman pitcher BillySullivanIV earned his first Colonial Athletic Association Baseball Rookie of the Week honor, the conference announced Tuesday.

Sullivan (New Castle, Del./St. Mark's) had a breakout debut against Charleston Southern on Sunday pitching the first five shutout innings for UD. Sullivan scattered just three hits and struck out nine, helping the Blue Hens to a 1-0 series-clinching win over the Buccaneers.

Sullivan IV is the Blue Hens first CAA Rookie of the Week honoree since current Blue Hen Kyle Bakershared the award the week of Mar. 15, 2015.

“Well, we certainly were not surprised with the performance we received from Billy this past weekend,” head coach Jim Sherman said. “We expected him to come out and be really competitive. What was really good to see was not the electric fastball as we know that was there, but the breaking ball, which was excellent. He has worked extremely hard with [pitching ] coach [Troy] O’Neal to develop his breaking stuff over the winter. And certainly, the hard work paid off because it was a difference maker for his last weekend. Striking out nine batters and not allowing a run in your first collegiate game is pretty good stuff. Excited to see what he can do this weekend and the rest of the season.”

Off to a 2-1 start, the Blue Hens will continue the season this weekend (Feb. 24-26) at Florida Atlantic University. First pitch from Boca Raton is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Hervada Named CAA Player of the Week


RICHMOND, Va. – All week last week, the talk amongst the University of Delaware coaching staff was that they felt like junior faceoff specialist Jake Hervada was about to have a big performance.


Hervada made that talk come to fruition last Saturday against Monmouth, having a career day to lead the Blue Hens to a 15-11 triumph over the Hawks to earn Delaware’s first 3-0 start since 2011.


“Jake was terrific all game long and really helped set the tone for a near complete first half that gave us some breathing room early in the game,” Head Coach Ben DeLuca said. “He’s been working really hard in practice and it paid off with an outstanding day on Saturday.”


In the win, Hervada won a career-high 21 faceoffs in 28 attempts, including the first nine faceoffs of the game, to help the Blue Hens grab an early 6-1 lead.


His 21 facoff wins were the most by a Blue Hen in 11 years and the fifth-highest single-game total in the NCAA this season.


In addition to his dominance at the X, he grabbed a career-high 11 ground balls and added an assist in the Blue Hen victory.


Hervada and his teammates return to Delaware Stadium this Saturday to host #7 Villanova. Game time on LSN is set for 1 p.m.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Blue Hens Win Epic Rubber Match Over Monmouth, 7-6


NEWARK, Del. --The University of Delaware baseball team won a crucial 7-6 rubber-match from Monmouth University Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Redshirt freshman Chance DiFebbo drove in the game-winning run with two out on a suicide squeeze play in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Senior JamesMeeker, who started for the Blue Hens (8-5) at designated hitter, stranded the bases loaded in the ninth with one out to earn his second save of the series. Freshman Billy Sullivan IV went the first four innings for Delaware, allowing a season-high three earned runs. The St. Mark’s product threw 90 pitches and struck out a pair of Monmouth (4-8) hitters, earning a no-decision.

At the plate, CalvinScott hit his first home run of the season and reached base four times (three walks) scoring the winning run. Centerfielder Kevin Mohollen went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI, while Andrew Reich recorded a pair of hits in four plate appearances.

Delaware continues its eight-game homestand Tuesday afternoon against Maryland. First pitch from Bob Hannah Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Head coach Jim Sherman:

“I think it’s important for us to play some close games early on. Once you get into CAA play and into the postseason, the games are usually close, so this prepares us well. After Friday’s tough performance it was great to see us bounce back yesterday, winning a tight pitcher duel before the bats picked up today. Down the stretch today we got the right combination of clutch pitching and execution at the plate. Meeker has a knack for being able to escape those tough situations, so that’s why we trusted him today. I think he enjoys them. He’s a senior who’s been in similar situations before so he knows how to handle them.”

On calling for a bunt in the 8th inning:

“It’s widely discussed that you don’t really bunt with two strikes, but I don’t really buy into that philosophy. For me, it was about making sure the player at the plate gets the sign and that everyone is on the same page. If Chance would have fouled it off, to me it wouldn’t have been that big of a deal because we would have still would have had the bases loaded for our hottest hitter right now, Diaz [Nardo]. So, to me, it wasn’t that big of a gamble. It was just a matter of Chance executing it and give him credit because he did a great job.”

James Meeker:

“I think high-leverage situations are fun to pitch in. As a competitor, those are the types of games and moments you like to play in. I think the pressure is not on me as a pitcher, but the hitter because he’s expected to deliver a run. You just have to execute your pitches. Friday we didn’t play our best game, but this weekend shows that our team is resilient fighting back to win a big series here at home.”

On the challenges associated with being the DH and pitching in the same game:

“Going from hitting to pitching has its challenges for sure, but it reminds me of my tee-ball days where I used to play all of the different positions. It’s a little different at this level, but it’s fun to be able to make different impacts on the game.”

HEN SCRATCHINGS:

• Delaware improves to 8-1 when scoring first.
• UD is now 4-0 when hitting a home run.
• The Blue Hens are now 7-0 when leading after seven innings.
• Delaware has won eight straight home series dating back to last season.
• The Hens are now 6-0 when scoring at least six runs.
• Today’s victory is Delaware’s first this season when allowing more than five runs (1-4).
• UD has stolen 22 bases in 30 attempts this season. Seven different Hens have stolen a base so far.
• Meeker stranded the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position in both of Delaware’s victories. The righty leads the team in both wins (2) and saves (2).
• DiFebbo has three RBI in his first five at-bats.

DSU took game one 17-10 and completed the sweep with a 13-2 victory in the nightcap.

In the opener, Desiree Moreno was 3-for-5 with a homer and five runs batted in, while Kayleigh Berry had four hits and two RBI in five at bats to lead the Hornets’ 20-hit attack.

In addition, freshman Alyssa Diaz (3-for-3) and Jasmine Melgoza (3-for-5) collected three hits each in the contest.

MDES led 3-0 before the Hornets rallied for six runs in the top of the second inning. Melgoza, Diaz and Khaliyah Flournory singled in runs to tie and game, and Moreno smacked a three-run homer later in the inning to give the Hornets a 6-3 lead.

Delaware State added five runs in the third inning to open up an 11-3 advantage. Sabrina Quarles had a two-run double, while Moreno and Vanessa Washington had run-scoring singles in the inning.

Maryland-Eastern Shore climbed back into the game by scoring four runs in the fourth inning and three in the fifth to pull to within 11-10.

Moreno drove in her fifth run of the game with a sixth inning single and Diaz produced a run on a sacrifice fly in the inning to stretch DSU’s lead to 13-10.

The Hornets close out the scoring with four insurance runs in the seventh. Berry’s two-run double was the big hit in the inning.

In game two, Moreno was 3-for-5, including her second homer of the doubleheader, and three runs batted in. Flournory had three hits and four RBI in three at bats, while freshman Vanessa Barron was 3-for-4 and drove in two runs in the game.

Delaware State scored a run in each inning of the nightcap.

Moreno singled in a run in the first inning and blasted a two-run homer in the sixth. Flournory drove in a run on a first inning single, had a sacrifice fly in the fifth and singled in two more in the sixth.

Moreno was 6-for-10 with two homers and eight RBI in the doubleheader to raise her season average to a team-best .435. She also tops the Hornets with 27 hits, six home runs and 17 runs batted in this season.

Delaware State will go for a three-game sweep of the Hawks when the teams wrap up the series on Sunday.

Dover, Del. (Mar. 17, 2018) --- Norfolk State used two solid pitching performances to sweep Delaware State in the season-opening MEAC North doubleheader for both teams at Soldier Field on Saturday.

The Spartans took game one 10-2 and completed the sweep with a 6-1 victory in the nightcap.

In the opener, Norfolk State starter Chase Anderson allowed just one hit and struck out six in 7.2 to earn the win. The only hit allowed by Anderson was a single by Jared Gillis to lead off the fifth inning. Gillis later scored on a bases loaded walk to Tommy Jordan for the Hornets’ first run.

Alsander Womack was 3-for-6 with two runs batted in to lead Norfolk State’s 13-hit attack in the opener. Tony Leite added two hits (2-3) and two RBI for the Spartans.

Delaware State trailed 8-1 before scoring its second run on a fielder’s choice by Cole Garey in the sixth inning.

The Hornets were also plagued by four errors in game one.

Delaware State starter Lane DeLeon (0-2) was tagged with the game one loss.

In the seven inning nightcap, Norfolk State’s Jonathan Mahoney tossed a four-hit complete game to earn the win.

The Spartans opened the scoring in game two with a run in the top of the third inning. The Hornets answered with their lone run in the bottom of the third on a one-out double by Darnel Maisonet to tie the game.

The score was still tied when Norfolk State scored five runs in the fifth to take control of the game. The big blow in the inning was a two-run triple by Johnny Mayer to give the Spartans a 5-1 lead. DSU was also plagued by two errors in the inning.

The Hornets will try to avoid a series sweep when the teams meet on noon Sunday at Soldier Field.

Dover, Del. (Mar. 24) ---Khaliyah Flournory was 5-for-7 with five runs batted in to help lead Delaware State to a sweep of Norfolk State in a doubleheader today. The Hornets won the opener 8-0 and completed the sweep with a 3-1 victory in the nightcap.


In game two, Flournory drove in all of DSU's runs with a bases-clearing double in the bottom of the second inning to give the Hornets a 3-0 lead.


DSU starter Alexis Goldsby earned the win in the nightcap, allowing five hits and one hit in the complete game outing.


In the opener, Flournory and Alyssa Diaz drove in two runs each and Hannah Shields tossed a three-hit shutout to lead Delaware State to victory.



Shields scattered three hits and struck out three, while waking just one to earn the win.

Delaware State opened the scoring with two runs in the third inning. Diaz reached on an error to lead off the inning. Two batters later, Desiree Moreno (3-for-4) singled singled up the middle, sending Diaz to third. Moreno and Diaz scored when Norfolk State committed its second error of the inning on a ball off the bat of Sabrina Quarles.

The Hornets put the game away with six runs in the sixth inning.

Flournory doubled in two runs and Diaz had a two-run single to highlight the inning. Vanessa Washington also singled in a run for the Hornets in the sixth.

With her performance in the doubleheader, Flournory has upped her average to a team-best .413 this season.

DSU has won five straight games to remain perfect in the MEAC (5-0) and improve to 7-17 overall.

The Hornets and Spartans will wrap up the series with a single game on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the DSU Softball Complex.

Timely Hitting, Pitching Propels Hens to 2-0 CAA Start


NEWARK, Del. –The University of Delaware baseball team opened Colonial Athletic Association play with a doubleheader sweep over Towson University Saturday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The Hens (12-8) defeated the Tigers (3-17) 6-3 in the opener, before holding on for a 2-1 victory. In game one, junior KyleHinton (3-1) pitched six and one-third innings, allowing just two runs. Senior CalvinScott went three-for-four in the opener, driving in a pair of runs. Senior Colman Vila appeared in his 76th game for Delaware, breaking the all-time program mark.

In the nightcap, Delaware freshman Billy Sullivan IV threw the strongest outing of his collegiate career, throwing a career-high six shutout innings. Sullivan struck out 10. Kyle Baker and Diaz Nardo each drove in a run, while senior James Meekerpitched 1.2

innings to earn his third save.


Delaware will look for the series sweep tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. RHP Nick Spadafino (0-3, 7.99 ERA) will take the ball for Delaware, while RHP Michael Adams (0-2, 6.58 ERA).


Head coach JimSherman:

"It's always a good day when you win both legs of the doubleheader. Today we got more good pitching from guys like Hinton, Meeker, Sullivan and Vila. Allowing just four runs (three earned) today was really good to see. Both Hinton and Sullivan threw well then the 'pen did their job. We're still struggling a bit too much at the plate. But overall we're still trying to find our new identity. Last year we were a team built on power hitting, but this team is going to have to do it a bit differently. We're going to have to find ways to manufacture some runs. Today we did a good job of that. Tomorrow the good news is we still have a bunch of fresh arms, so we're in good shape for the third game of the series."


On Hinton and Sullivan:
"Coming off of being sick last week we wanted to make sure that Billy had enough in the tank, and he did. We want to get Billy to the point where he starts to work deeper into ballgames, pitching into the sixth, seventh or eighth innings. Today we could have sent Billy back out of the seventh, but we decided to not. Our bullpen was fresh and have been doing a good job all year, so we felt that was the best move. Kyle is a competitor out there. He wasn't as sharp as we've seen him in the past three or four outings, but he battled through. That's the difference in him this season having matured as an upperclassman. He's learned how to pitch. I tip my hat to Kyle for hanging tough and battling."


RHP Billy Sullivan IV:

"This was a great day for our team. Our defense was excellent today, and coach Troy (O'Neal) did a great job calling the game. Towson is a great team, so it was great to be able to pitch as well as I did. It felt awesome being back out there with my teammates today after missing last week. I have the most confidence in the world in our bullpen, and I knew they were going to get the job done. I wasn't too worried about it because I knew Clay [Conaway], Chris [Ludman] and Meek were going to come through."


HEN SCRATCHINGS: • Delaware improves to 9-4 this season at home, and to 10-3 when scoring first.
• The Hens are 2-0 in CAA play for the first time since 2013, when the Hens also took the first two games of a series against Towson. Delaware seeking its first 3-0 CAA start since 2011 when the Hens swept Hofstra.

• Delaware improved to 9-0 when scoring at least six runs this season and to 5-2 in one-run games.
• The Hens are now 10-0 when leading after seven this season, and 40-1 the past two seasons.
• Baker returned to the lineup for the first time since Mar. 10 (six games missed).
• Sullivan IV hasn't allowed a run in three of his five starts and allowed one run or fewer in four of five. The freshman's 10 strikeouts today were a career-high.
• Hinton has now allowed just seven earned runs in six starts this season. The righty hasn't allowed more than two runs in any start this season and has won a career-best three games.
• UD improves to 5-1 in Hinton starts, having won four consecutive games that the Delaware native has pitched.
• Sullivan is now 3-0 in his college career and Delaware improved to 4-1 in his five starts. The St. Mark's product has struck out 30 batters in his 23.2 innings pitched.

Blue Hens Denied Series Sweep; Drop Finale to Towson


NEWARK, Del. --The University of Delaware baseball team’s bid for a series sweep was denied Sunday afternoon, as the visiting Towson University Tigers defeated the Blue Hens 10-2 at Bob Hannah Stadium.


The Blue Hens (12-9, 2-1 CAA) who defeated Towson (4-17, 1-2 CAA) 6-3 and 2-1 yesterday afternoon, received a pair of hits and an RBI from firstbaseman NickPatten. Junior KevinMohollen reached base twice, scoring his team-leading 15th run of the season.


Senior NickSpadafino (0-4) pitched the first three innings for Delaware, allowing four runs. Delaware received a pair of shutout innings from relievers Winston Allen and ColeBenjamin. Delaware returns to action on Tuesday for the first round of the Liberty Bell Classic at La Salle. First pitch from Philadelphia is scheduled for 3 p.m.


Head coach JimSherman:

"Credit Towson they were the better ball club from the start today and came back with a better performance after dropping both games of the doubleheader yesterday. Right now we're not stringing together enough consistent play to get a series sweep. We have to figure out a way to close out the sweep. Towson hit it better than we did and pitched it better than we did. They were just the better team. Today is disappointing, but we did complete the series victory which was the goal. The plan is to start [Joey] Haass on Tuesday and give him his first career start. Hopefully, we can forget this one today and get back to winning ways at La Salle."


HEN SCRATCHINGS:

• Delaware falls to 3-9 when scoring less than five runs and to 1-5 when the opponent scores in the first inning.
• The Hens are now 2-9 when getting out-hit this season.
• Mohollen extended his on-base streak to 16 games.
• The Hens fall to 8-5 when Mohollen scores a run.
• Allen has not allowed an earned run in his first 4.2 innings pitched. The righty struck out a pair of batters in his two innings.
• ZackMiller recorded a hit for the seventh consecutive game. The catcher has now driven in a run in five out of his last seven starts.

Blue Hens Drop Series Opener at Hofstra


HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- The University of Delaware baseball team fell 9-0 Friday afternoon to Hofstra University Friday afternoon at University Field.

The Blue Hens (13-13, 2-2 CAA) managed just a pair of hits and three baserunners off Hofstra (13-9, 3-4 CAA) lefty hander John Rooney who pitched a complete-game shutout.

Colman Vila (2-2) pitched the first three innings for Delaware, allowing three runs (two earned). The lefty struck out five Pride batters.

Junior Nick Patten reached base twice in the loss, while Tyler Callender added a base hit. The Blue Hens and Pride return to action tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. Junior Kyle Hinton (3-2, 1.57 ERA) will pitch for Delaware, while Matt Weissheier (1-3, 3.69 ERA) will take the ball for Hofstra.

Head coach Jim Sherman:

"Hofstra was the better team in all aspects of the game today. Give their pitcher Rooney a lot of credit. He showed today why he's one best pitcher in the league. We just couldn't get the bats going. We still have two games left to play well, and we still have a chance to win the series. I know our guys will bounce back for sure."

HEN SCRATCHINGS:

• Diaz Nardo didn’t start at third base for the first time since 2014. The senior had started 178 consecutive games for the Hens.

Meeker, 10th Inning Explosion Propels Delaware to Victory at Hofstra


HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. –The University of Delaware baseball team behind five and one-third shutout innings from James Meeker defeated Hofstra University 5-2 in 10 innings Sunday afternoon at University Field.

Delaware (14-14, 3-3 CAA) freshman Billy Sullivan IV took a no-hitter into the fifth inning Sunday, but a two-out single by Hofstra’s (14-10, 4-5 CAA) Austin Gauthier ended Sullivan’s no-no bid. The righty pitched 4.2 innings allowing just one hit and a pair of runs. He struck out eight batters.

After the single and a pair of walks loaded the bases, the Pride added a pair of runs on a wild pitch and an infield single, but Meeker was able to strand a pair of runners in scoring positon with a pop-up.

Trailing for the first time all day, the Blue Hens rallied in the sixth. Kyle Baker and Nick Patten recorded back-to-back two-out singles and advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. With the tying runs in scoring position, senior Calvin Scott lined a two-out single to centerfield that scored both Baker and Patten.

The game remained tied at two, as Hofstra and Delaware traded zeros until the top of the 10th when the Blue Hens struck for the final three runs of the game.

Shortstop Vinny Vaccone walked with one out and advanced to second on a Kevin Mohollen single. Batting with a pair of runners on, second baseman Erik Bowren tripled down the left field line, scoring both Vaccone and Mohollen. Bowren ultimately scored the Hens third run of the inning on a passed ball.

Meeker recorded three ground balls in the bottom half to secure the victory for the Blue Hens, who snapped a five-game losing streak.

Delaware returns to action Wednesday afternoon for the Semifinals of the Liberty Bell Classic. First pitch from Lehigh is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Head coach Jim Sherman:
"Today was a game we truly needed as it allowed us to regain our confidence heading into another important week. Today our guys played well. We received excellent efforts from Sullivan and Meeker, and we got a few timely hits. Hopefully, we can ride the momentum of this game into a four-game week. Overall, I'm proud of the guys."

HEN SCRATCHINGS: • Delaware improves to 5-2 in games started by Sullivan IV.

Blue Hens Ride Offensive Explosion to LBC Title Game


BETHLEHEM, Pa. –The University of Delaware baseball team is heading to Citizens Bank Park, as Delaware defeated Lehigh University 15-7 Wednesday afternoon at J. David Walker Field.

The Blue Hens (15-14), who scored at least a run in the first five innings, received 14 hits and placed 20 batters on base.

Freshman Joey Haass (1-0) pitched the first five innings for Delaware, allowing just three hits and a run to earn his first career victory.

Offensive highlights included centerfielder Kevin Mohollen going three-for-three and reaching base six times, Kyle Baker going two-for-six with four runs batted in, and freshman Ben Werkheiser, who entered his first career game in the seventh inning, hitting his first career home run in the ninth.

In total five different Blue Hens recorded multiple hits, and five different Hens recorded an RBI.

The victory advances Delaware to their first Liberty Bell Classic Championship game on Tuesday night against Lafayette. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Delaware returns to action Friday afternoon when they welcome UNCW for a weekend series. First pitch Friday is scheduled for 3 p.m. All fans are encouraged to arrive early as before the game (2:45 p.m.) last season's Colonial Athletic Association Championship banner will be revealed.

Head coach Jim Sherman:

“Today was a great day for us in a lot of ways. We received a really strong outing from Joey Haass, who earned his first career victory. Then at the plate, we strung together some really good at-bats. It was nice to see Ben Werkheiser hit his first career home run in the ninth. Overall, excited to advance to the Liberty Bell Finals and get a chance to play at an MLB ballpark.”

On carrying the momentum from Sunday’s comeback victory over Hofstra:

"Sunday was an absolutely critical game that we won, and I think it carried over to today. We had been scuffling a bit. We needed that win Sunday really badly, and we got it. Winning that game took some of the pressure off of the guys, especially at the plate. Today I thought we played a bit more relaxed and were better at the plate. I thought we received really good pitching, we just had that one bump in the road in the eighth inning where we had a few miscues. Other than that it was a good day.”

C Ben Werkheiser:

“Today was a special moment for me. I came into the game and just wanted to be aggressive and look for a fastball early in the count. In the ninth I got a hanging slider and I was just trying to square it up. I wasn’t trying to hit a home run and I was just trying to stay within myself. I’m just really happy that we got this win and we get to play at Citizens Bank Park. Tuesday should be a special experience because I grew up going to Phillies games there. It should be a lot of fun getting to play in a Major League stadium.”

HEN SCRATCHINGS:
• Delaware improves to 4-0 in mid-week games.
• The victory advances the Blue Hens to the LBC Final for the first time since 2013. • Delaware has won an LBC-high eight titles.
• Delaware stole five bases this afternoon.
