MORAGA, Calif. - Dylan Delvecchio pitched his way through five scoreless innings in the team's series finale win over Utah Tech to help record their first shutout of the season. Delvecchio picked up his second win of the year and also matched his career high with nine strikeouts to be named this week's Shamrock Office Solutions Student-Athlete of the Week. This is the first time since February 27th of last season the Saint Mary's baseball program has won the weekly award in back-to-back weeks and the first for Delvecchio in his second season as a Gael.
Delvecchio made two starts last week, one against San Jose State in a Tuesday matchup and the other on Sunday in the series finale against Utah Tech. He would get bumped from Tuesday's game in the third inning but get a no decision thanks to a walk-off homer from teammate Diego Castellanos.
He would bounce back Sunday with a stellar five-inning performance, allowing just three hits and no runs to earn his second win of the season. John Damozonio and Noah Waldeck would complete the final four innings giving up just five hits to record the team's first shutout of the 2025 season. Delvecchio has proven to be one of the team's most talented arms, showcasing a low 90's fastball and a sweeping breaking ball to lead the team with 22 strikeouts. He matched his career high Sunday afternoon with nine K's and has recorded 5+ strikeouts in three of his four starts.
Saint Mary's will resume action this Saturday with a doubleheader against Sacramento State at John Smith Field before hosting Cal on Tuesday, March 18th at 3:00 PM. Tickets can be bought online at smcgaels.com/tickets and you can catch all the action live on ESPN+.
