In a three-game sweep of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, DellaValle went 9-for-13 (.692 avg) with six RBIs and five runs scored. Of the nine hits, three were for extra bases with a pair of triples and a double. In game one of the series, the junior third baseman was a homerun short of the cycle when he went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Game two saw DellaValle notch his sixth three-hit game of the season and in game three, the Santa Ynez, Calif. native put the game out of reach with his three-run triple in the bottom of the third inning. Defensively he was perfect at the hot corner with four assists. He has been a staple for the Kingsmen all season and is batting .434 overall this spring.
