Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Sophomore Jake Richard gave up one run on three hits in a complete-game effort as Delaware Valley College salvaged the final game of its Freedom Conference series against Misericordia University.

It was all Aggies from there as they came up in the bottom half of the first and manufactured two runs on four hits.  Pete O'Hara led off the inning with a single and a stolen base and Brandon Bell moved him over to third on an infield single.  Freshman Cory Wenger and sophomore Connor Buhler followed with a pair of RBI singles to give Delaware Valley the 2-1 lead.
 
Richard was stellar from there as he didn't give up another hit until the fourth inning when Mike Comerford singled to left field, but was eventually thrown out at third after trying to advance on a pass ball. 
 
Delaware Valley played small ball again in the fifth inning to tack on an insurance run.  Bobby Altieri led off with a single to center field and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from O'Hara.  After Bell walked, Wenger grounded into a fielder's choice that put runners on the corner for Buhler, who delivered with his second RBI single of the game.

The Aggies' only two runs came in the bottom of that frame when Jordan Heisler plated Buhler on an RBI single after he got aboard with a walk.  Mike Anusky also singled in the inning and came around to score on a wild pitch.
