ANNVILLE, Pa. - Lebanon Valley combined four
pitchers to no-hit Valley Forge Christian while Devin
Dellinger drove in six runs and Andrew Wooley had five hits
in a 26-1 win.
Freshman Mike Wakalowski (1-0) earned his first career
win, pitching the no-no along with Brent McDowell,
Patrick Reagan, and Brett Fundell in the
seven-inning game. The no-hitter was LVC's first since 2009, when
Brian Miller beat Lancaster Bible in a seven-inning game.
LVC scored 14 runs in the second inning to bust the game open as
they batted around twice. Dellinger went 5-for-7 with six RBI and
three runs scored, and Woolley was 5-for-6 with four driven in and
four scored. Freshman Bryce Betz recorded his
first career hits going 2-for-3, as did Anthony Stone
with a 2-for-5 day with 3 RBI. Mike Puglisi, Zac
Edwards, Brandon Popp, and Glenn
Dietrich also recorded multi-hit games, while Zach
Smith extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
Valley Forge's lone run was the result of a pair of first-inning
errors, with Matt McKenzie and Josh Strohm scoring before
Wakalowski struck out the last three batters he faced to end the
inning with the bases loaded. LVC pitching retired every other
batter from there, 21 in a row, with 14 strikeouts.
Wakalowski earned the win in a pre-determined three-inning stint,
with McDowell (2.0 IP), Reagan (1.0 IP), and Fundell (1.0 IP)
finishing up. Matthew McKenzie (0-2) took the loss for the Patriots
(0-7).
Lebanon Valley will open a weekend series with Stevenson Friday at
McGill Field, starting at 3:30 p.m.
