Brock Donovan Belts Five Hits to Lift Delaware Baseball Over Temple, 13-11

AMBLER, PA (April 7, 2005)-- Second baseman Brock Donovan (New Castle, DE/William Penn-at right) batted 5-for-5 with two doubles and drove in four runs to lift the University of Delaware baseball team over Temple University, 13-11 Thursday afternoon at Ambler Field.

Matt Heppner (Riverhead, NY/Riverhead) (1-2) picked up the win for the Blue Hens (12-15) after allowing one run in two innings on the mound. Carl Taylor (0-1) took the loss for the Owls (7-14) by allowing five runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings pitched.

Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine), Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area), Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord), and Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba Community) each drove in two runs while Davison and Tsakonas joined Dan Kozek (Medofrd, NJ/Shawnee) by adding doubles. Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Triton) had two hits, scored two runs, and drove in a run while Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana), Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel), and Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) each singled to round out Delaware's 17 hits.

Five Blue Hen pitchers saw action on the mound as Chad Kerfoot (Owings, MD/Northern) took the start and pitched two innings and allowed two runs before being replaced by Kevin Brown (Wilmington, DE/McKean) in the third inning. Brown gave way to Heppner in the fourth as Billy Harris (Bear, DE/Salesanium) and Jason Rogers (New Castle, DE/William Penn) finished out the game.

Temple rightfielder Pete Colon smacked three homeruns on the afternoon, two solo and one two-run shot, to give him three runs scored and a total of five RBI as the bottom four of the Owl lineup combined for four runs, seven hits, and seven RBI. Jason Adamek blasted a solo homer to right field while Mike Weckenman went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.

The Owls put the first run on the board in the second inning when Dan Brady doubled to score Marc Wagner who singled to center. Brady scored when Gene Burpoe singled and eventually advanced to third on a throwing error by Richardson. Delaware answered back in the top of the third with a Donovan double to the gap in right-center that sent Kozek across to cut the score to 2-1.

The Owls increased their lead to 4-1 however before the Hens could take the lead for good with a four-run inning in the top of the fifth. Kozek doubled to center and advanced to third when Graham singled to left. Graham was replaced on the bag by Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant) who scored along with Kozek when Donovan shot his second run-scoring double of the day to right field. Davison followed with a walk and Tsakonas brought home both Donovan and Davison with a run-scoring double of his own to left-center.

Delaware returns to action on Monday, April 11 when it faces New York Tech at 3 p.m. at Bob Hannah Stadium.
