Delaware 4, La Salle 2: The score was much different from two weeks ago, but the result was just what the University of Delaware baseball squad needed Tuesday afternoon as the Blue Hens defeated La Salle in a Liberty Bell Classic consolation game.

A two-run inside-the-park home run from freshman Nick Patten highlighted a three-run first inning and that was all the Blue Hens needed to defeat the Explorers for the second time in 15 days and improve to 18-11 overall.

Delaware had downed the Explorers by a 22-1 score back on Mar. 22 at Bob Hannah Stadium as the Hens banged out 24 hits and scored in all but one inning.

Delaware got an impressive pitching efforts from starter Matt Hornich while Dan Belfer and Burk FitzPatrick closed things out as he struck out five of the eight batters he faced to earn his first career save. Hornich went four scoreless innings and Belfer picked up his first career win by allowing just two hits over the next two frames.

“We had the big three-run first inning with Patten’s inside the park homer getting us going,” said Delaware head coach Jim Sherman, whose team swept La Salle for the first time since 2007. “And we got some good overall pitching from Hornich, Belfer, and FitzPatrick. Overall it was a good win heading into Hofstra this weekend.”
