Tyler Youngs Leads George Mason Past Delaware Baseball, 3-1

NEWARK, DE (May 7, 2005)-- George Mason shortstop Tyler Youngs blasted a solo home run, a double, and a single to lead the Patriots past the University of Delaware baseball team, 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The Blue Hens fall to 21-24 (9-8 CAA) while George Mason continues to climb and reaches 29-19 (11-9 CAA).

George Mason broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the ninth with four consecutive singles. Tyler Youngs started the charge by heading to left field followed by Matt York, Matt Cooksey, and finally Chris Looze who singled to the right side to score Youngs. The Patriots kept the bases loaded and with one out Matt Barrett singled to center field to score York as Looze and Cooksey were putout on the double play to end the inning.

Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord), Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Triton-top right), Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant), and Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown) each totaled a pair of hits for Delaware. Rogers and Graham each doubled while Tsakonas tripled.

Mitch Heckert (Harrisburg, PA/Central Dauphin) drops to 1-1 with the loss after pitching three innings of relief and allowing two runs on six hits. Jason Rogers (New Castle, DE/William Penn) started the game and allowed one run on five hits while striking out five in six innings on the mound.

York ended his day with three total singles while Robby Jacobsen tossed in a pair of hits for the Patriots who tallied 13 for the afternoon. Seven of those came from the bats of George Mason's first five hitters.

J.J. Pannell claimed the victory and improves to 1-1 while Jason Mills picks up his fourth save of the season. Brent Hitz started the game and allowed one run on eight hits in 6.2 innings pitched.

Delaware took the early lead in the bottom of the second when Tsakonas sent his triple to the gap in right-center and scored on a Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) sacrifice fly. The Patriots tied the game back up at 1-1 in the top of the third when Tyler Youngs homered to right field.

The teams will play the final game of the three-game set on Sunday, May 8 when the Blue Hens will honor their seniors at Bob Hannah Stadium.
