| (Carlisle, Pa.) - The Dickinson
College baseball team started the 2010 campaign with a strong
showing in a pair of wins over visiting Lancaster Bible College.
The game was originally scheduled to be played in Lancaster. The
Devils won the opener 4-1 and used an explosive offense for a 16-1
win in the nightcap. |
Sophomore pitcher Sean White (Summit,
N.J./Salisbury School)tossed a no-hitter in the opener,
striking out 17 Chargers in the eight-inning opener. White set a
Centennial Conference record for strikeouts by first-year,
recording 53 last spring. His 17 today ties him for the third best
strikeout performance in CC history.
The Devils were the visitors in the scorebook, pushing one run
across in the top of the third inning. Matt Tuneski
(Waterford, Conn./Waterford) was hit by a pitch and
scored on a double from Andrew Sterling (Houston,
Texas/Episcopal).
Chad Hollinger scored on a balk to tie the game in the bottom of
third after reaching on a walk. White struck out the side in the
fourth and recorded two strikeouts in the sixth and seventh innings
to keep the Chargers in check.
The Devils came alive in the top of the eight, scoring three
runs with the help of doubles from Tyler Rosa (Carmel
by the Sea, Calif./Stevenson
School) and Evan Farha (Potomac,
Md./Churchill).
White then shut the door with a ground out and two
strikeouts.
Sterling and Farha both went 2-for-4 with an RBI to lead the
Devils in game one.
First-year James Santoro (Freehold, N.J./St.
Rose) highlighted game two with a grand slam homerun
in the first inning as the Devils jumped out to 10-0 lead.
Lancaster Bible would answer in the bottom of the first but the
Red Devil pitchers would keep them off the board for the rest of
the way.
Sterling went 3-for-6 with another double, two RBIs and two runs
scored. Mike Schuster (Malvern, Pa./Great
Valley) drove in three runs behind two hits while
Rosa went 2-for-3 and scored twice.

RBIs. Bobby Williston (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Honeoye

scored.

out three in two innings of work. Justin Williams

strikeouts as well in two innings of work.
