Delgado went the distance and allowed just an unearned run on four hits.
He walked two and struck out seven to earn the win.
Delgado needed 94 pitches to close out the Knights.
Aaron Martinez walked in the seventh and scored on a throwing error to tie the game at 1-1.

He walked two and fanned 10 Marshall batters.

Quotable:
Marshall pitcher, Travis Delgado: “When I’m on the mound, I’m trying to have an efficient outing and go as deep as I can. I have all the faith in the world in my teammates, but I want to be the guy with the ball in my hand when the game is on the line. After they tied the game in the top of the seventh, I was frustrated, but my teammates saw that and told me, ‘we’ve got your back,’ and they scored the game winner in the bottom of the seventh. It was a very important win, because Arroyo is a program that we expect a serious challenge from. I felt really good out there today and I had five days of rest, so it felt good to do my part in a big win.”
