George Mason Completes Sweep of Delaware With 7-4 Victory on Sunday's Senior Day

NEWARK, DE (May 8, 2005)-- The University of Delaware baseball team honored it's graduating seniors prior to a 7-4 loss to George Mason on Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium. The Patriots (30-16, 12-9 CAA) are the first Colonial Athletic Association team to complete a sweep of the Hens (21-25, 9-9 CAA) so far this season.

Among the seniors honored were Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba Community-at right), Chris Garrick (Nesconsent, NY/Smithtown), Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Triton), Brock Donovan (New Castle, DE/William Penn), and co-captains Dave Harden (Wilmington, DE/Dickinson) and Scott Rambo (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown).

Chris Fournier drove in four runs with three hits including a home run and a double to lead George Mason past Delaware's 10 hits. Byran Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset), Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord), and Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) each tossed in a pair of singles for the Hens.

Billy Harris (Bear, DE/Salesianum) drops to 2-2 with the loss after allowing three runs, two earned, on two hits in four innings pitched. Rambo started the game and went five innings and allowed four runs on three hits but walked eight.

Jason Mills claimed the win and improves to an undefeated 4-0 after allowing one hit while striking out five in two innings of scoreless relief. Jared Petrovich started the contest and allowed three runs on six hits in 6.1 innings pitched.

Chris Looze jumped on the Hens early with a solo home run in the top of the first after Rambo had retired the first two Patriot batters. George Mason continued it's assault in the top of the third with three runs on two hits. Rambo walked the bases loaded and with two out Jacobsen drove in a run with a single followed by Fournier who drove in two with a double to make the score 4-0.

Delaware reached hit the board in the bottom of the fifth when Hagerich shot a high fly ball into shallow left that dropped for a single and an advance. He scored when Menchaca singled up the middle and off the bag at second base.

The Hens tied the game at 4-4 with three runs on five hits in th bottom of the seventh. Five consecutive singles by Hagerich, Menchaca, Richardson, Rogers, and Graham crossed the runs.

George Mason reclaimed the lead in the top of the eighth with a single by Fournier who advanced to second when Youngs reached on an error. Fournier scored on a close play at the plate where Valichka attempted to lay down the tag but dropped the ball as Fournier charged in for the score.

Fournier returned in the top of the ninth and towered a long deep ball over the wall in center field to increase the Patriot lead to 7-4.

The Blue Hens have fallen onto a four-game losing skid and have lost six of their last eight. They have fallen from third to fourth in the CAA standings over the weekend, giving up the slot to George Mason.

Delaware continues it's homestand with a single game against Temple University on Tuesday, May 10 at 3 p.m.
