DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Delaware Valley College exploded for 23 runs and 19 hits as the host Aggies snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 23-7, non-league rout of two-time defending Colonial States Athletic Conference champion Gwynedd-Mercy College.

The win lifted Delaware Valley to 14-9 on the season. It is the sixth time that the squad has notched double digits in runs, including twice in the last two days as they scored 11 times in Wednesday's 13-11 setback to Ursinus College. The Griffins fell to 15-8 with the loss.

The Aggies trailed 6-3 going into the bottom of the fourth inning when they sent 12 men to the plate and scored eight unearned runs off of four hits and five Gwynedd-Mercy miscues. The big blows in the inning were a two-run double by freshman Matt Barto and a two-run single by fellow rookie Matt Bodine.

The Griffins got one back in the top of the fifth, but Delaware Valley countered with four in its half of the stanza for a 15-7 advantage. Barto (single) and Bodine (triple) had RBI hits while junior Dylan Saludutti added a run-scoring single. The Aggies then added two more in the sixth as one run scored on a Mike Isgro single and another scored on the Griffins' eighth error of the game.

Delaware Valley continued the offensive onslaught in the seventh as it registered six runs off of four hits. Barto upped his RBI total in the game to six with a two-run double while Isgro smacked his second home run of the season, a two-run shot.
