Rorick steps up big in series opener

From Bluehens.com:
NEWARK, Del. - Behind an incredible complete game effort by Brian Rorick, the University of Delaware baseball team posted a 6-1 victory over Virginia Commonwealth on Thursday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Rorick tossed his third consecutive complete game while posting a career-high 13 strikeouts against VCU (20-24, 8-14 CAA). The junior right-hander also scattered four hits and allowed only one unearned run on the way to his fourth win of the season.

This is the type of performance the Hens need if they want to be competitive in the CAA. They already have the big bats in Bill Merkler, Ryan Cuneo, and Ryan Reed. Rorick has been a work horse this season, starting in 12 games. This was his third consecutive complete game. If pitchers like Rich O'Donnell can step it up come tournament time the Hens can make a run. Lets see how they do tomorrow in the second game of the series.
