The University of Delaware softball team captured a 6-3 victory against Western Kentucky on Thursday, April 30, kicking off their final regular season series with a memorable performance.
Freshman standout Maddie Diamond made program history by launching her 15th home run of the season, matching the school record for most homers by a first-year player. The powerful swing helped propel the Blue Hens to their important conference victory.
The triumph also carried special significance for Delaware’s veteran players. Seniors Katie Scheivert, Sydney Shaffer, and Kristen Luzon celebrated their 135th career win together, equaling another program milestone for most victories by a graduating class.
With the victory, Delaware improved their conference record to 16-9 as the regular season winds down. Western Kentucky holds an 18-7 mark in league play with just two games left on their schedule.
The Blue Hens will look to build on this momentum as they conclude their regular season series and prepare for postseason play.
