ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Interstat) — Navy erupted for nine runs in the second inning Tuesday evening and cruised to a 12-0 victory over Delaware State at Terwilliger Brothers Field at Max Bishop Stadium.

The Midshipmen (3-1) sent 13 batters to the plate in the decisive frame, highlighted by Victor Izquierdo’s three-run homer. Catcher Ty DePerno and outfielder Mason Ceccarelli each contributed key hits during the outburst.

Navy pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout, holding the Hornets (0-5) scoreless. Delaware State managed just two singles and has been outscored 71-12 this season.

The Midshipmen’s offensive explosion included 10 total hits and capitalized on Delaware State miscues, adding two unearned runs. Navy next travels to face Air Force in South Carolina on Friday.
