The Delaware Hayes baseball team picked up its second straight win over league foe Thomas Worthington Monday, cruising 15-4 in five innings thanks to solid pitching and a huge effort at the plate.

Zach Price handled things on the mound, allowing an unearned run on two hits while striking out eight and walking four in three innings of relief.
