Mitchell Walks It Off In Opener; King's Takes Game Two In Twelve Innings

DOYLESTOWN (Pa.) – Will Mitchell hit a walk-off single to give the Delaware Valley University baseball team its first win of the season, but visiting King's College outlasted the Aggies in game two of the doubleheader as the teams split the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom twin bill on Saturday.

Mitchell's RBI in the bottom of the eighth earned DelVal (1-5 MAC Freedom) a 2-1 win while the Monarchs (3-5, 3-5 MAC Freedom) put up four runs in the top of the twelfth to take the nightcap, 8-4.

Senior pitcher Dakota George got the start in game one and allowed just two hits and three walks with five strikeouts and one unearned run.

With two outs in the bottom of the third, Timmy Lallis got aboard with a single and advanced to second base on a balk. Bobby Bright came up next and got the Aggies on the board with a double to center to make it, 1-0.

King's tied the game in the next half inning thanks to a couple walks, a passed ball, and a wild pitch. The game remained knotted at 1-1 through regulation, setting the stage for Mitchell's heroics.

Bright led off the bottom of the eighth with a walk and Hank Bielen singled to right to put two on with nobody out. The next two batters went down swinging, but Bright was able to swipe third to put the winning run 90-feet from home. Mitchell got his barrel on a pitch and sent it right back up the middle and Bright trotted home for the 2-1 victory in walk-off fashion.

In game two, each team scored three runs in the third inning and went to extra-innings tied at 4-4.

DelVal had its best chance to win the game in the bottom of the tenth when it had runners at second and third with nobody out. Jared Sterner got the fly ball the team was looking for, but the left fielder and the shortstop combined for a good relay to home plate that gunned down Dylan Strunk at the plate and kept the game tied.

The Monarchs got the first runner aboard in the twelfth inning via an error and that sparked a four-run frame behind three hits including a two-RBI double to deep left-center field by Matt Mellinger and another two-RBI knock from Chase Heitzman.

Lallis led the Aggies with a 4-hit day including three walks and three runs scored. Bielen was 2-for-4 with three RBI in the second game and Bright finished the day with a hit, two runs scored, an RBI, and a walk. Kyle Bailey, Nate Reed, and Zak Clark each saw time on the mound in the nightcap and combined for two strikeouts and eight walks. Clark went four innings and suffered the loss.
