University of Delaware Baseball Falls to Rider University, 4-2 in Final Home Game

NEWARK, DE (May 18, 2005)-- The University of Delaware baseball team fell to Rider University, 4-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium in the Blue Hens final home game of the 2005 season.

Delaware (24-28) scattered five hits and was led by Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel-at right) who sent a solo home run over the left field fence in the bottom of the eighth for his sixth of the season. The Broncs (18-29) were carried by Mike Poalise who batted 2-for-4 with a double and a triple.

Matt Heppner (Riverhead, NY Riverhead) took the loss and drops to 2-3 after allowing four runs in six innings on the mound. Justin Roszkowski claimed the victory after pitching 7.1 innings and allowing two runs, he improves to 4-3 on the season.

Delaware took the early lead in the bottom of the third when Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine) singled in Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant).

The Broncs retaliated in the top of the fifth when Justin Squashic reached on an error by Davison and stole second. Bryan Wagner singled him in with a shot up the middle. Wagner then stole second and scored when Tom Letizia singled to left.

Rider followed up the fifth inning with two more runs in the sixth as Scott Knazek was hit by a pitch and scored on Poalise's triple to right-center. Poalise scored on McCreedy's single to left, ending the Broncs scoring.

Richardson cut the deficit to 2-4 with his solo home run but it was not enough as the next six Hens fell to ground outs and fly outs to end the game.

Delaware travels to VCU for the opening-game of a three-game set slated to begin Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m.
