The Liberty Bell Classic features college teams from the greater Philadelphia area.
UD junior second baseman Kyle Davis led the offensive explosion, getting four hits in six trips to the plate, including a grand slam home run. He finished with six runs batted in and scored a run.
Freshman left fielder Pat Dameron also had four hits, including a home run, drove in three runs and scored three runs. Other Blue Hens with multiple hits were junior Jared Olson and freshman Todd Menchaca, with two each.
Delaware used six pitchers and freshman Alex Dalsey picked up his first win of the season. The staff allowed 11 hits but gave up just two runs, only one of which was earned.
