Swarthmore, PA (April 10, 2013) – Freshman Steven Wallace went seven shutout innings allowing just four hits and striking out six to lead the DeSales University baseball team past Swarthmore College, 6-1, in a non-conference game on Wednesday afternoon.

Wallace allowed just three base-runners to reach second base over the first seven innings as he improved to 3-1 on the season with a dominating performance.  The Garnet Tide had just two runners on-base once that coming in Wallace's last inning, the seventh, before a line drive double play ended the threat.

The Bulldogs staked Wallace to a 1-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI infield single from junior Mark Fuse and added two more runs in the fourth on an RBI groundout from senior Brian Mauro and a Swarthmore error with two outs.

DSU went up 5-0 in the seventh when freshman Alec Hardy belted his first career home run down the left-field line scoring senior Derek Chrismer and DeSales answered Swarthmore's lone run in the eighth with another run in the top of the ninth inning on an RBI single from sophomore Nick Fischer.

Fuse finished 3-for-3 with an RBI, Hardy scored twice, and Fischer was 2-for-5 with two runs scored in the win to lead the bat attack.

The Bulldogs return to action on Friday afternoon when they host FDU-Florham in the first game of weekend three-game set beginning at 3:30 pm.
