The Misericordia University baseball team took both games of their MAC Freedom doubleheader in convincing fashion, putting up double-digit run totals in both contests to defeat Delaware Valley, Saturday afternoon at Tambur Field. MU secured the series sweep of the Aggies in the process.
 
Brooks Kanwisher, Brock Bollinger and Owen Daminger had three RBI in the Cougars' opening 10-1 win. Bollinger, Kanwisher and Michael Duda all doubled. 
 
Jack Regenye recorded a team-high four hits, four stolen bases and three runs.
 
Bryan Henry picked up his fourth win of the season after striking out six and only allowing one run through 6.0 innings on the bump.
 
In the second game of the day, Misericordia scored in every inning and used an eight-run sixth to cruise to a 19-4 victory.
 
Kanwisher delivered a six-RBI performance with three hits, including a homerun, along with a pair of stolen bases.
 
Jared Hoffman also homered and finished with two RBI, tying him with Bollinger and Daminger. Jack Regenye scored five runs and hit a pair of doubles.
 
Luke Leventhall maintained his perfect record on the mound, advancing to 3-0. The southpaw stuck out four batters and only allowed one run through 4.0 relief innings. 
 
After Del Val jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener, MU responded with two runs on a fielding error in the bottom frame. The Cougars added another run on a single off the bat of Daminger to take a 2-1 lead.
 
In the second, Bollinger ripped a double to center field to score Regenye and Jeff Policarpio as Misericordia's lead grew to 5-1. On the following at-bat, Kanwisher doubled down the right field line to bring home Bollinger and expand the lead to four five runs. 
 
One batter later, Daminger reached on an infield single and brought home Kanwisher as the Cougars now led, 7-1.
 
In the third, Bollinger hit a sacrifice fly that allowed Drew Van Horn to tag up and score from third, pushing the score to 8-1 in favor of MU.
 
Misericordia tacked on another run in the fourth on a single up the middle by Joe Peters, driving in Brian Korchok. 
 
Another sac fly in the fifth by Daminger brought Regenye home and capped off the Cougars' 10-1 victory.
 
The Aggies opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the first inning of the second game, jumping out to a 2-0 lead.
 
Misericordia got one run back in the bottom half of the inning, as Daminger hit a sac fly to center that scored Regenye.
 
Del Val answered right back with a run in the second, putting them up by a score of 3-1.
 
Bollinger worked a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the second to bring MU within a run of tying the game. On the ensuing at-bat, Kanwisher split the infielders with a single up the middle that drove in two runs and gave the Cougars a 4-3 lead.
 
In the third, Hoffman unleashed a two-run shot over the left field wall to pad Misericordia's lead, which now stood at 6-3. Later in the frame, Bollinger singled to center and brought home Regenye from second base, building MU's lead to four runs.
 
With runners on the corners in the bottom of the fourth, a double-steal allowed Daminger to cross the plate after Hoffman drew a throw down to second base. The Cougars now held an 8-3 advantage.
 
Regenye walked in the fifth and worked his way around the basepaths with back-to-back steals, putting himself on third. He completed the final 90 feet to home plate when Kanwisher laid down a beautifully-placed bunt, reaching safely on the fielder's choice. Bollinger took off from third and scored on  a wild pitch on the following at-bat. Kanwisher came around to score on a ground-out as Misericordia scored three runs in the inning, building their lead up to 11-3.
 
Things began to unravel for the Aggies defensively in the sixth. The Cougars put up eight runs in the inning, all of which were scored with two outs.
 
A pop-fly by Regenye found grass between a trio of Del Val fielders, allowing Bunn to score on a throwing error. After Bollinger was hit by a pitch, Kanwisher stepped up to the plate and uncorked a towering three-run homer to left field, giving MU a 15-3 lead. 
 
Two batters later, Josh Burger reached on an infield error as Korchok came in to score from second base. The carousel continued with a bases-loaded pinch-hit single by Chasen Kirk to score Daminger. Misericordia now lead 17-3.
 
With the bases still juiced, Matt Yarborough worked a walk to force Burger home from third. A pinch-hit single through the left side by Gavin McCaffrey knocked in Hoffman as the Cougars' lead ballooned to 16. 
 
A seventh-inning solo shot by the Aggies proved to be the final run of the game as MU closed out its 19-4 victory, sweeping the season series with Del Val.
 
Misericordia returns to Tambur Field when they host Kean, Tuesday at 3:00.
