Sibbach Tosses 80-Pitch Complete Game In 8-1 Win For Baseball Over Delaware Valley

Ducks Move to 15-1 in MAC Freedom

HOBOKEN, N.J. – Erik Sibbach turned in one of his most dominating starts of the season, needing just 80 pitches to close out a complete game, five-hitter in an 8-1 win for the Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team over Delaware Valley Friday afternoon from Dobbelaar Field in Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom play.
 
Sibbach allowed just seven total base-runners and induced outs from 18 batters on the first or second pitch of the respective at-bats. Offensively, the Ducks provided ample run support, with the 1-through-6 hitters in the lineup (Victor Schilleci, Eli Somers, Dylan Fishbough, Liam DeRubertis, Chip Krese, and Jack Reichlin) all notching at least one hit, finishing the day a combined 11-for-24, scoring all eight runs, driving in six of them.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Scoreless entering the bottom of the second, Reichlin led off with a single and advanced to second when Kevin Villares reached on an error. With one out, Frank Tonina tucked a hard hit ball just inside the first base line, scoring Reichllin.
 
Sibbach worked around a threat in the second, inducing an inning-ending pop out after Delaware Valley loaded the bases with two out.
 
Still 1-0 entering the bottom of the fifth, DeRubertis and Krese singled to lead off the inning, setting the table for Reichlin who launched a long double to center, scoring both. Two productive groundout later, Reichlin came in to score, making it 4-0.
 
Schilleci greeted Delaware Valley reliever Lucas Santise with a home run well beyond the right-center field wall, putting Stevens (21-11, 15-1 MACF) up 5-0.
 
After Jared Ecenroad spoiled Sibbach's shutout with a home run leading off the Delaware Valley seventh, the Ducks got the run back in the bottom of the inning when Krese singled, moved to second on a wild pitch, took third on a balk, and came in to score on a Reichlin sacrifice fly.
 
After a bloop single from pinch-hitter Robert Savely plated two more in the bottom of the eighth, SIbbach went back out for the ninth and, as he had done in the first, fourth, and sixth, retired the side in order to close out the complete game.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Sibbach reached 50 strikeouts for the season, the third straight season he's reached that mark, totaling 160 for his career following Friday's gem.
  • Sibbach's one walk allowed was just the fourth nine-inning game this year that Stevens pitchers walked just one batter in a game.
  • The team's 13 hits were the fourth-most in a conference game this year.
  • Fishbough ran his hitting streak to 11 games, during which time he's hit .457 (21-for-46) with 12 runs and seven extra-base hits. He's hitting a team-best .412 for the season.
UP NEXT
The Ducks head to Doylestown, Pa. tomorrow to close out the MAC Freedom series with the Aggies with a doubleheader scheduled to commence at 12:00 p.m.
