The Delaware baseball team scored six runs in the eighth inning and got 4.2 innings of one-hit pitching from junior Mike Biasiello to defeat Towson, 9-3, in a CAA contest Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The victory allowed the Blue Hens (6-14 CAA, 10-20 overall) to salvage one win in the four-game weekend series with the Tigers (8-8 CAA, 18-30 overall). Towson swept Delaware, 12-4 and 12-7 on Saturday.

“I thought we played a really clean baseball game and I’m proud of our efforts,” said coach Jim Sherman. “We are a dangerous team when everything comes together and that’s what happened today.”

Biasiello was solid out of the Delaware bullpen, retiring eight in a row after his first batter reached on a sacrifice bunt. Senior Vinny Vaccone helped his pitcher out with a big play deep in the hole at shortstop to end the top of the eighth and strand the go-ahead Towson run on third.

Joey Loynd was 2-for-3 with three RBI, a double and a run while Joseph Carpenter and Jack Goan each collected a pair of hits.

Jordan Hutchins (Dover) was 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored and Biasiello finished with five strikeouts, allowing only one hit and no walks.
