Chris Seibert smacked a three-run double to center field in the bottom of the eighth inning as Wesley College rallied for a 10-9 victory over Washington College in nonconference baseball on Tuesday afternoon.

The Wolverines (10-6) trailed 8-5 before Wesley scored a run in the seventh and four runs in the eighth.

The Shoremen (7-10) got a run back in the ninth but reliever Connor Springsteen struck out the side looking to earn the win.

Cody Dmiterchik (Cape Henlopen) also had a three-run double for Wesley. Seibert and Mike Calverese each went 2-for-5 with a run scored while Trey Mears (Sussex Central) scored three times.

Delaware State 4, La Salle 2: Jaylen Zielecki smacked a three-run homer and Tommy Jordan (Milford) to pace the Hornets (6-9) to their third win in the last four games.

Delaware State failed to get a runner on base off La Salle starter Matt Holt, who retired all 12 batters he faced, six by strikeout, in four innings.

But the Hornets immediately took advantage of Holt’s departure to get their offense going.

After a Jared Gillis (Smyrna) double put runners at third and second, Zielecki launched his first homer of the season, a three-run shot to left center, to give the Hornets a 3-2 lead.

Delaware State added an insurance run in the eighth when Jordan, a freshman shortstop, hit his first collegiate home run to left center.

Pitcher Jordan Cargile picked up her fifth win of the year after firing two scoreless innings of relief.

The nightcap was also tied at 4-4 in the seventh when Kolofer doubled with one out before Mariah Kondravy crushed a pitch over the wall in centerfield for the victory.
