 Two
Delaware State Errors In the Ninth Tip
Seesaw Battle to Delawares Favor in 8-7
Victory
NEWARK,
DE (April 19, 2005)-- The University of
Delaware baseball team defeated Delaware
State, 8-7 on Tuesday afternoon at Bob
Hannah Stadium when consecutive errors in
the bottom of the ninth cost the Hornets
the game.
Brent
Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant) reached
first on an error by second baseman Kevin
Hill and scored from first when Ryan
Graham (Danville, IL/Triton-at right)
reached first due to an overthrow by third
baseman Jesse Tyler.
Kevin
Brown (Wilmington, DE/McKean) evens his
record at 1-1 with the win as the Hens
improve to 15-18 overall while Delaware
State dips to 14-22.
Adam
Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area)
led Delaware with a pair of hits including
one two-run homer while Brian Valichka
(Frederick, MD/Urbana) and Kelly Buber
(Yuba City, CA/Yuba Community) each
doubled.
Chad
Kerfoot (Owings, MD/Northern) took the
start and allowed four runs on eight hits
but struck out seven in five innings on
the mound. He was replaced by Brown who in
four innings of work allowed three runs on
four hits and struck out five.
Five
Hornets captured two hits in the contest
as Jon Ricketts, Brandon Gravely, and Hill
each singled twice while Matt Folke
doubled and singled and Randy Boyer added
a single to go along with a three-run home
run.
Dan
Perkins took the start for Delaware State
and allowed four runs on four hits in four
innings pitched and was replaced by Joe
Brzeczek who allowed three runs on three
hits in 3.2 innings on the mound. Chase
Korneman took the loss and faced only two
batters in the ninth.
Delaware
State jumped on the Blue Hens early with
two runs on three consecutive singles in
the top of the first. Ricketts dropped a
bunt between Kerfoot and Valichka and was
followed by Hill who singled to center.
Gravely sent them both home with a single
to the left side and a throwing error that
advanced him to second.
Delaware
responded with a four-run inning in the
bottom of the third when Dan Richardson
(Bear, DE/Caravel) ledoff the inning by
sending a single to rightfield and
stealing second followed by Dan Kozek
(Medford, NJ/Shawnee) who walked. Graham
drove in a run by singling to second base
but it wasn't until Buber connected for a
two-RBI double off the left field fence
that the Hens took the lead. Tsakonas
singled home Todd Davison (Somers Point,
NJ/St. Augustine) who reached on a walk
but the rally was cut short when Brandon
Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) went
down swinging.
The
Hornets came from behind to tie the game
at 4-4 in the top of the fourth when Folke
singled to center field and Boyer followed
with a single down the left field line.
Jesse Tyler sent them both around to score
with a triple deep to
centerfield.
The
Hens regained the lead in the bottom of
the fifth as Valichka sent a run scoring
double of the wall in left field followed
by Tsakonas who dialed in on a fastball
and sent it for a two run round-tripper
over the wall in left-center.
Boyer
kept the Hornets alive with a three-run
home run in the top of the eighth to tie
the score back up at 7-7.
Delaware
continues its' homestand on Thusday, April
21 when the Hawks of Saint Joseph's
University travel to Bob Hannah Stadium
