Rutgers Baseball Swept By Coastal Carolina, Picks Up Win Against Delaware
The Rutgers baseball team had a rough outing in Conway S.C. last weekend as they got swept by Coastal Carolina. Rutgers has now lost its last two series and sits at 5-7 on the year.
It doesn’t get much worse than the first game of the series for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights were beaten 10-0 in 7 innings with the game being ended due to a “Run rule,” which means that if a team is winning by 10 or more runs after the 7th inning, they can end the game. Coastal Carolina ran in four in the first inning and did not look back as their bats shelled Rutgers, and the Knights’ bats failed to answer.
The following two games would be a little more competitive, but the Chaunticleers would still beat the Knights 6-5 in game two and 6-1 in game three. Game two would start off in the Knights’ favor as they took a 4-2 lead through the first 4 innings. Rutgers would score again in the top of the seventh to take a 5-2 lead, but they would surrender 2 in the bottom of the seventh. After a scoreless eighth inning and top of the ninth for Rutgers, Coastal Carolina would blast two single home runs in the bottom of the ninth to seal the victory.
In game three, Rutgers would jump out to a 1-0 lead at the end of the first inning. Unfortunately for Rutgers, the bats went quiet after that, unable to get a single run the rest of the game. Coastal Carolina, however, would find major success in the third inning thanks to an infield single, passed ball, wild pitch, and single to left field. They would take a 4-1 lead after three and tack on two insurance runs from there to end the game on a six run streak.
The last week did have one bright spot for Rutgers baseball, and that was their 8-2 win over Delaware on Tuesday.
Jack Kirchner got the start for the second straight game and delivered three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out three. Rutgers would plate three runs in the second. Delaware would respond by plating two runs of their own in the top of the seventh before Rutgers did the same thing in the later half of the inning. Rutgers would plate three more in the eighth, with Mike Timberlake tossing two scoreless innings to finish the game for the Knights.
The Knights will be back in action against Iowa at home on Friday with first pitch at 2 p.m.

Jealous man kills woman, wounds boy
Oliver K. Higgins, aged 33 years, of Washington Street, in a fit of jealousy late Saturday night, is alleged to have pumped seven bullets from an automatic revolver into Mrs. Edna M. Martin, 40 years old, of Spruce Street, killing her.
Charles Brown, the 15-year-old of Mrs. Gladys Brown, was shot in the jaw and shoulder by Higgins but will recover. Mrs. Brown, also of the Spruce Street address, is the sister of the slain woman. …
Mrs. Martin, who was employed by the Home Baking Company on Market Street, left the store at a late hour Saturday night, accompanied by Paul A. Crawford of Marshallton and went home. They found Mrs. Brown sitting in the dining room with Julius K. Bowman of Newport.
The women and men sat around the table for a short time. At 11:45 o’clock, hearing someone taking out a window screen in the parlor, Mrs. Brown went to the hall to see what caused the noise.
She saw Higgins step in the window with a gun in his hand. She opened the door and ran off the porch.
Higgins failed to see Mrs. Brown and continued to the dining room where Mrs. Martin and the two men were sitting. He leveled the revolver at their heads and said, “Stick your hands up everybody, and I don’t mean maybe.”
Higgins then asked for Mrs. Brown. Learning she had gone out the front door, he ran after her, passing her as she crouched behind a hedge a few feet from the doorway. He returned to the dining room, but the men had fled. He then turned to Mrs. Martin and fired as she ran. …
Leaving the dead woman at the head of the steps, Higgins rushed in the back room in search of Mrs. Brown. Charles Brown, who had been sleeping, awoke because of the noise. …
Hearing the boy going down the stairs, Higgins stepped to the stair rail and shot him twice. …
Mrs. Brown went to the drug store of Otto H. Miller at 22nd and Pine streets to telephone police. …
Officers surrounded the Brown house … and arrested Higgins. …
Higgins met Mrs. Brown several months ago when he was in the employ of the United Cigar Store, and Mrs. Brown was working nearby. He is said to have become jealous over the attention of other men to Mrs. Brown, who is divorced. She asked him to stop annoying her and appealed to police.
After Higgins threatened Mrs. Brown with a gun, she told her employer who called the United Cigar Company and made a complaint to the manager. Shortly after this, Higgins was discharged.

Bill would jail parents of delinquent kids
A tough measure that provides for jailing the parents of delinquent children or requiring them to spend weekends with delinquents at juvenile detention centers has been introduced in the Delaware Senate.
The bill is the brainchild of the community-based services staff of the juvenile corrections bureau.
“This gives a way to coax them (the parents),” said John J. Mulvena, juvenile corrections chief. “If not to coax them, to require them. If not require them, jail them.”
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Herman Holloway Sr., D-Wilmington.
Mulvena said it is “directed at parents who are reluctant to participate in the responsible supervision of their children.”
He said due to “stubbornness, ignorance or neglect,” his staff often ends up acting as “mother, father, aunt, uncle or surrogate” for children “while the parents get off scot-free.”
