Date:
March 20, 2005
NEWARK,
DE -- The University of Delaware
baseball team broke a three-game Sunday
win streak as Penn State swept the weekend
series with a 7-1 win in the third game at
Bob Hannah Stadium.
Alan
Stidfole (1-1) tied his career high of
eight strikeouts in the win for the
Nittany Lions (7-6) pitching in six
innings and allowing five hits. Scott
Rambo (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown) took
the loss for the Hens (7-11) allowing four
runs on nine hits while striking out
four.
Both
teams left eight stranded on the base
paths but the Nittany Lions pounded out 11
hits and received seven walks in the
contest. Lance Thompson blasted a two run
shot in the eighth inning for his first
home run of the season as Delaware
couldn't put another run on the board
after the first inning while reaching
double digits in strikeouts with
10.
Adam
Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertwon Area -
right), Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St.
Augustine), and Brandon Menchaca
(Wilmington, DE/Concord) all doubled while
Menchaca and Tsakonas each singled and
Tsakonas drove in a run.
Thompson
and Matt Lewis combined for six hits with
a double, a triple, and a home run while
each drove in two runs and crossed the
plate twice. Clint Eury doubled and Aaron
Greenfield tripled to round out the
Nittany Lions hits for extra
bases.
Both
teams put a run on the board in the first
inning as Penn State's Mike Milliron
reached first after being hit by a pitch
and scored when Lewis singled to right
field. Delaware answered back in the
bottom of the inning as Davison doubled to
left field and scored when Tsakonas sent a
double down the left field
line.
The
teams remained scoreless until the sixth
when the Nittany Lions put three on the
board using four consecutive singles for a
total of five hits. Brian Ernst led off
the inning with a single to left but was
caught stealing. Milliron followed with a
single to right and stole second, Thompson
singled on an infield hit, and Lewis
singled to right scoring Milliron. Gummo
sent a deep fly to right field that
advanced Thompson to third and Lewis to
second, who then scored when Eury sent a
double up the middle.
Delaware
continues its homestand on Wednesday when
the Blue Hens take on New York Tech at
2:30 p.m. at Bob Hannah
Stadium.
