Fort Pierce, FL – Delaware Valley University improved to 6-1 on the year with a pair of wins over Marywood University Thursday in Fort Pierce, Florida.  Marywood fell to 1-5 with the losses.

In the opener, Marywood trailed 2-0 until the third when James Goetz doubled to left center and moved to third on the throw which resulted in an error and Daniel Hull scoring for the Pacers.

Delaware Valley would extend their lead to 11-1 over the third and fourth innings highlighted by a seven run third where the Aggies scored seven runs on nine hits and an error.

Marywood got back on the board in the top of the sixth when Bill Chonka singled up the middle to score Vince Rebar and eventually scored on a wild pitch to make it 11-3. 
Moments later, the Pacers made it 11-4 on a RBI double from David Ortiz that scored Tommy Smith, but the Aggies added two more in the bottom of the sixth to extend their lead to 13-4.

In game two, the Aggies exploded for six first inning runs on six hits and an error and went on to a 10-5 win over the Pacers.
