Delaware Baseball Falls to UNC Greensboro, 6-5, in Extra Innings

Date: February 19, 2005

GREENSBORO, NC -- Sophomore Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored but the University of Delaware baseball team fell to UNC Greensboro, 6-5, in 11 innings on Saturday afternoon at the UNC Greensboro Baseball Stadium in the second game of the teams' season-opening three-game series.

Freshman Matt Heppner (Riverhead, NY/Riverhead) (0-1) took the loss for the Hens, who have begun the season 0-2, after replacing Mike McGuire (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley) in the 11th inning. UNC Greensboro's Wes McCall (1-0) picked up the win for the Spartans, who improved to 2-0.

With the game tied at five in the 11th inning, Heppner walked Danny McClure, who then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jeremy Roulin. After intentionally walking Chris Mason, Justin Crist stepped to the plate with two men on and one out. Crist hit the ball to second baseman Brock Donovan (New Castle, DE/William Penn) who threw to shortstop Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine) for the force at second. However, Davison's throw to first was wild and McClure scored to end the game.

Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba City-right) batted 2-for-4 and scored one run, Donovan hit 2-for-5 with two RBI and a double in the sixth, and freshman Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) added a run scored triple in the fifth.

Jason Rogers (New Castle, DE/William Penn) started the game for Delaware and allowed five hits and two earned runs in six innings of work. He was replaced in the bottom of the seventh by McGuire, who pitched four innings and allowed three earned runs on four hits.

Roulin led the UNC Greensboro attack by going 3-for-5 and scoring one run while Mason batted 2-for-4 and added two runs scored. Crist and McClure each added a run and an RBI for the Spartans.

Ryan Falcon started for the Spartans, allowing four hits and three earned runs in five innings. Currin replaced Falcon and allowed two hits before being relieved two innings later by McCall, who gave up one hit and one unearned run in 3.1 innings on the mound.

The Spartans took the early lead again in the first inning as Mason reached first base on a fielders choice and scored when Crist doubled to right field.

The Hens responded in the fifth inning when Hagerich walked and scored on Tsaknoas's triple to right center. Tsakonas then scored when Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant) flied out to center to give Delaware a 2-1 lead. In the sixth Delaware increased its lead to 3-1 when Buber singled, advanced to third on a wild pitch and a Dave Harden (Wilmington, DE/Dickinson) fly-out, and crossed the plate when Donovan doubled to left.

The Spartans cut the lead to one in the sixth when Roulin crossed the plate on a Linney sacrifice fly, and tied it in the seventh when Gonzalez did the same on a McClure sacrifice fly.

Delaware took the lead back in the eighth when Buber reached on an error and was replaced at first by Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel), who advanced to second on an error by the pitcher during a pickoff attempt and scored when Donovan singled to center.

However UNC Greensboro added a pair of runs of its own in the eighth to regain the lead. Mason singled and advanced to second when Crist walked, and Maule walked to load the bases. Mason then scored on an Adams sacrifice fly that brought Crist to third, and Crist then crossed the plate when Deleo singled to third base to give the lead back to the Spartans.

The Hens tied the game back up in the ninth at 5-5 when Hagerich started off the inning by singling to center and advanced to third when Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) reached on an error and Rogers grounded out. Hagerich then scored when Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Danville) grounded out to tie the game and send the game to extra innings, when the Spartans scored the game-winning run on an error by Davison.

The three-game series will continue on Sunday at noon when a Blue Hen pitcher to be determined will face UNC Greensboro's Nick Starnes.
