Doylestown, PA (April 25, 2014) – Freshman Tommy DePaul went 5-for-6 and senior Brian Mauro was 4-for-6 accounting for 11 of DSU's 19 hits as the Bulldogs took game one of the weekend series with Delaware Valley College, 13-5, on Friday afternoon in Freedom Conference action.
 
The Bulldogs (21-13) have now won five straight and move two wins away tomorrow vs. Delaware Valley from clinching the #1 seed in next week's Freedom Conference Baseball Tournament.
 
DSU took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when freshman Tyler Sweeney stole home on a double steal with DePaul and then the Bulldogs broke it open in the third inning.

It was an 8-3 game entering the sixth when the Bulldogs scored three times in the sixth an RBI single from Mauro and a two-RBI single from sophomore Carrington Santana and twice more in the seventh on another RBI base hit from Mauro to open up a 13-5 lead and never looked back from there.
