Baseball Takes Series From Wilkes After Saturday Doubleheader Split

WILKES-BARRE (Pa.)--- The Delaware Valley baseball team fell in game one at Wilkes, 4-1, but bounced back in game two to win 2-0 in eight innings to win their weekend series over the Colonel. The Aggies took Friday's game in the series, 13-3.

GAME ONE

The Colonels (13-16, 7-10) got on the board in the bottom of the first with a Darren Kerdesky RBI triple to lead 1-0. In the top of the third, the Aggies (9-15, 4-10) evened up the score when Hank Bielen drove in Jonathan Drews with an RBI groundout.

An RBI groundout for Wilkes in the bottom of the fourth gave the hosts a 2-1 lead before tacking on two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to secure the 4-1 win.

Jonathan Drews reached back in all three plate appearances for the Aggies, going 1-for-1 with a triple, a run scored and two walks.

Aiden Murphy fired a complete game for Wilkes, allowing one earned run on four hits with three walks and ten strikeouts.

GAME TWO

The second game of the twin-bill featured a pitcher's duel between both starting pitchers, as the game headed to extra innings tied at 0-0. DelVal starter Derek Cannon fired six shutout innings while scattering seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts. Wilkes starter Tony Molitoris threw seven shutout innings allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out seven.

Garrett Zimmerman led off the top of the eighth with a single. After a Liam Martin single, James Miskanic brought home pinch runner Gavin Migliori with a sacrifice fly to give the Aggies a 1-0 lead. Bobby Bright followed up with an RBI double, giving DelVal a 2-0 lead.

After the Colonels put two runners on to start the bottom of the eighth, Connor Esbenshade came to the mound for the Aggies and struck out back-to-back hitters. Esbensahde then picked up his third punchout, but a dropped third strike allowed the runner to reach and loaded the bases. With the bases loaded and two outs, Esbenshade picked up his fourth strikeout of the inning to end the game and pick up his first save.

Jonathan Drews drew a walk in game two to extend his on-base streak to 23 consecutive games.

The Aggies will return to action Tuesday, April 11th for a 3:30 p.m. home contest against Rosemont.
