Delaware 5, Binghamton 4: Freshman catcher Adam Rapp’s two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded in the eighth inning brought home the winning run for the Blue Hens.
The victory extended Delaware’s winning streak to six games in a row and helped the Hens (11-4) sweep the four-game series from the Bearcats (2-12). The sweep is the first four-gamer for Delaware since beating Fairleigh-Dickinson in four straight in 2010.
Rapp, whose bases-loaded double on Saturday highlighted Delaware’s 9-7 comeback win, was the hero again as he lined a smash into centerfield to knock in two runs and give the Hens a 5-3 lead.
Delaware starter Burk FitzPatrick pitched six solid innings for Delaware, giving up three runs on four hits and striking out five before giving way to eventual winner Nick Spadafino (Dover).
The Bearcats threatened in the top of the ninth off Spadafino (2-1) after scoring one run on a sacrifice fly. But the sophomore right-hander earned the win as he got pinch-hitter Pat Britt to fly out to right field with one runner on to end the game.
