PHILADELPHIA – Temple baseball will play Delaware tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. at Skip Wilson Field in Ambler Sports Complex. The opening game of the Liberty Bell Classic for both teams was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, but was cancelled due to winter weather creating unplayable conditions. The Owls come into the weekend with a 7-13, 2-4 record. This marks the first home game of the season for the Owls, as eight home games have been postponed, cancelled or moved to a different location. Four players have started every game for the Owls this season with seniors leading the way. Senior Derek Peterson is hitting a team-leading .303, with 14 of his 23 hits going for doubles for a slugging percentage of .513. Senior Rob Amaro, who leads the team with 20 RBI, is hitting .271 and has a slugging percentage of .443. Sophmore Jimmy Kerrigan, the only underclassman to start all 20 games, has managed a .281 average and is tied for third on the team for hits (18) with senior Daniel Dragos.
A starter for the game has not been determined as of now. Simon Mathews, Phil Gianakos, and Zach White are the only Owls that have started at least one game and not start against UCF last weekend. Mathews has started four games, going 0-4 with a 12.27 ERA. Gianakos has started one game in five appearances with a 4.00 ERA with nine innings pitched. White is 0-2 with a 7.94 ERA in six appearances and one start.
