Delaware Baseball Bangs out 11 Hits but Falls to George Washington, 4-3

ARLINGTON, VA (April 28, 2005)-- The University of Delaware baseball team fell to George Washington University, 4-3 on Thursday afternoon at Barcroft Park despite banging out 11 hits and stranding 10 Colonial runners on the base paths.

The Blue Hens, who recorded their 17th game with 10 or more hits of the 2005 season and saw a four-game win streak come to a halt, drop to 19-20 on the season while George Washington improves to 27-13.

Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana) scattered three hits including a double while Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) and Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) each had a pair of hits and a double.

Chris Garrick (Nesconset, NY/Smithtown) falls to 0-1 in his first decision while allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out six in five innings pitched.

Brad Rosenblat led the Colonials with three hits and an RBI while Josh Goldberg laid out a pair of hits and Joe Michalski and Mickey Shupin each doubled.

Avi Rasowsky captured the victory for George Washington and improves to 2-1 while Dan Pfau picked up his fifth save of the season.

The Colonials wasted no time and captured an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a pair of singles by Rosenblat and Geoff Milsom.

Delaware answered back to tie that score at 2-2 in the top of the fourth inning when Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba Community) led off with a single down the left field line and moved to third on Valichka's follow up double. Tsakonas drove in Buber with an infield single and Valichka crossed the plate when Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) grounded into a fielder's choice that caught Tsakonas at second.

George Washington broke the tie in the bottom of the inning when Shupin doubled and was sent home by Matt Owens who singled to center field. The Colonials added the game-winner in the bottom of the sixth when Rosenblat sent a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Owens who reached on a walk. and advanced to third on a stolen base and an overthrow.

The Blue Hens tacked another run on the board in the top of the seventh as Richardson had a lead off double and scored when Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Triton) singled to left.

Delaware returns home on Friday, April 29 as it takes on Colonial Athletic Association opponent William & Mary at Bob Hannah Stadium for the opening game of a three game set slated for 3 p.m.
