Delaware Valley then exploded for six runs in the top of the sixth inning to take command and an 8-4 lead.

DSU went quietly in the sixth but nearly came all the way back in the bottom of the seventh inning with three runs leaving the tying run on second base after Newsome drove in three runs with a one-out bases clearing double.

Fritzinger had three more hits and knocked in two runs.  Sophomore Reilly Kerr had two hits and freshman Gianna D'Acunto also had two hits in the loss.
