Sunday's win marks Coach Scheuermann's 1200th win at Delgado
April 15, 2025
Delgado's 14-10 win over Nunez Sunday marked a key conference win, as well as Head Coach Joe Scheuermann's 1200th career win with the Dolphins.
Delgado batted around in the first inning, posting six runs on six hits including
a two run homerun by Rhett Centanni, an RBI double by Eli Booth, a two run homerun
by Frank Randol, and an RBI single by Cooper Dailey to take a 6-0 lead. A single by
Everett Denny scored Josh Hoffmann in the second. The offense continued to shine in
the third when Eli Booth walked with the bases loaded to plate Reed Duthu before Frank
Randol's grand slam put the Dolphins ahead 12-1. Nunez's Cohen Veron homered in the
second and Conner Stelly's two run homer in the fourth added three before a single
and an error allowed a fourth run to score. Nunez chipped away by adding one in the
sixth, three in the seventh, and two runs in the eighth to threaten the Dolphin lead.
Delgado countered with a run in the eighth following Jack Marcantel's walk and a single
and error to score the run. A solo homerun by Eli Booth in the ninth plated the fourteenth
run enroute to the Dolphins' 14-4 win. Michael Hotard pitched into the sixth to earn
the win with Morgan Sauber and Brady Schmidt closing the game with Schmidt earning
the save.
The victory marked Head Coach Joe Scheuermann's 1200th win as Delgado Head Coach.
Now in his 35th season, Scheuermann expands his record as the winningest college baseball
coach in Louisiana history, having surpassed the late Coach Tony Robichaux's 1,177
win record last May. Scheuermann eclipsed the 1,000 win mark in April 2019 to become
the first college baseball coach in Louisiana history to reach the milestone at the
same college. He was inducted into the NJCAA Coaches Hall of Fame later that summer.
Scheuermann succeed his father and program founder "Rags" Scheuermann as Delgado's
Head Coach in 1990 and will be inducted alongside him in the Louisiana Sports Hall
of Fame later this June. Coach Joe's 1200th win ironically fell on April 13, what
would have been "Rags" Scheuermann's 102nd birthday. In his postgame remarks, Scheuermann
credits his current and former players for the record, expanding on the important
role that family plays in the program year after year.
On learning of Sunday's record win, Delgado Chancellor Larissa Littleton-Steib adds
"Our Delgado family shares its immense pride and congratulations as Coach Scheuermann
marks his 1,200th win as Delgado's Head Coach, expanding his record-setting tenure
with the Dolphins. We're grateful to Coach for representing the college at a local
and national level while continuing to impact the lives of our student-athletes and
their families. We look forward to celebrating his induction into the Louisiana Sports
Hall of Fame this summer."
Scheuermann adds. "As I have said many times, I didn't win any of these games, my
players did. I want to thank each and every player, assistant coach and everyone
that has been involved in our program. This is a team honor not an individual one.
Thanks again to everyone for all the nice comments! Fins Up!"
Delgado will host Baton Rouge Community College this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
at "Rags" Scheuermann Field at Kirsch-Rooney Stadium as conference play continues.
