Dutchmen Baseball Sweeps Delaware Valley in Senior Day Doubleheader

ANNVILLE, Pa. ­­– The Lebanon Valley College baseball team received contributions from several seniors in its Senior Day doubleheader, helping lead the club to a pair of victories against Delaware Valley University on Saturday, April 20 at McGill Field. The Dutchmen took the first game by a score of 14-4 after three RBIs by Ethan O'Loughlin and won the second 10-4 with a three-hit effort by Shane Stossel and eight strikeouts by Blair Shaffer. 

Lebanon Valley honored its eight seniors in a pregame ceremony, recognizing O'Loughlin, Stossel, Shaffer, Ryan Murphy, Michael Williams, Ryan Pickle, Ryan Petrucci, and Jared Copeland. 

Game One
The Aggies (12-18, 3-12 MAC Freedom) opened the scoring in the top of the first inning, taking a 3-0 lead on an RBI single to right-center field and a two-run home run to left field. Delaware Valley had runners on first and second base with two outs in the top of the second, creating a chance to score when their right fielder sent a single into left field. But the Dutchmen (16-15, 9-8 MAC Freedom) got out of the frame when left fielder Luke Pollock threw home to catcher Jace Fetterman, who applied the tag for the third out. LVC starting pitcher Jacob Horton then retired the side in order in the top of the third, registering a line out to center, a fly out to the left fielder, and a strikeout. 

Lebanon Valley's bats followed this by posting a big 10-run frame in the bottom of the third inning, taking a 10-3 advantage. Stossel got things started with an RBI single to first base, scoring Nico Santoro. O'Loughlin then lined an RBI single to left field, plating Logan Brewer. The club tied the game when Owen Berry was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, bringing home Stossel. Murphy put the team ahead with a two-run single into left-center field, scoring Fetterman and O'Loughlin. Later in the inning, Santoro walked with the bases full to score Berry. Brewer followed this by hitting a ball to third base that was thrown home but went past Delaware Valley's catcher, allowing Murphy to cross the plate. Stossel then sent a fly ball into left field that was dropped, plating Pete Botbyl. The third was capped off by O'Loughlin lining a two-run single to left field, driving in Santoro and Brewer. 

Horton then delivered another 1-2-3 inning for the Dutchmen in the top of the fourth, recording a groundout to third base, a lineout to center field, and a strikeout. The Aggies added a run in the top of the fifth, but the Flying Dutchmen answered back with four in the bottom of the fifth to go ahead 14-4. Santoro led off the frame with a double to right-center field before Brewer launched a two-run home run over the right-field wall. This was followed by Stossel driving a triple to right-center field before Fetterman crushed a two-run blast over the right-center field fence. 

Williams entered the game to pitch for Lebanon Valley in the top of the sixth inning and began his outing by retiring the side in order with two flyouts and a groundout to shortstop. The senior delivered another scoreless inning in the top of the seventh, securing the win with a pop out to second base.
