NEWARK,
DE (May 8, 2005) -- Catcher Brian Valichka
(Frederick, MD/Urbana - right) and first
baseman Dan Kozek (Medford, NJ/Shawnee)
each blasted a three-run homer in the
bottom of the seventh to lead the Delaware
baseball team past Temple 14-0 Tuesday
afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium
The
last time the Blue Hens (22-25) posted a
shutout victory was an 11-0 no-hitter
thrown by Brent Gaphardt (Bel Air,
MD/Dundalk) against Hofstra on March 26.
Delaware is 2-0 against the Owls (11-31)
this season after defeating them 13-11 in
Ambler, PA on April 7.
With
the win Delaware breaks a four-game losing
streak which saw the Hens slide from
third place to fifth in the Colonial
Athletic Association standings.
Ryan
Graham (Danville, IL/Triton) and Todd
Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine)
each laid out three hits. Davison doubled
twice and drove in three runs while twice
being hit by a pitch. Graham scored three
runs and added a stolen base.
Brandon
Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) and Dan
Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) each doubled
while Menchaca joined Valichka and Kozek
by having two hits on the day.
Three
Blue Hen pitchers combined for the shutout
as Matt Heppner (Riverhead, NY/Riverhead)
came away with the win.Heppner struck out
five and allowed two hits in three innings
on the mound. Chad Kerfoot (Owings,
MD/Northern) took over and allowed three
hits in three innings and was followed by
Kevin Brown (Wilmington, DE/McKean), who
allowed one hit in three
innings.
The
Owls scattered six hits, all coming from
different batters. Justin Cooper, Pete
Colon, and Frank Nunan all doubled while
Jason Conner, Matt Lafferty, and Tom Dolan
chipped in with singles.
Chris
Hamilton started the game and allowed nine
runs, seven earned, on 11 hits. He was
replaced in the sixth by Tim Andrel, who
allowed five runs on five hits, followed
by Matt Lawless, who pitched one inning of
scoreless relief in the ninth.
The
Blue Hens crossed a run in the bottom of
the first to take a 1-0 lead. Graham led
off with a single followed by Davison, who
was hit by a pitch. They both advanced one
base on a wild pitch and Graham scored
when Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba CC)
sent a sacrifice fly to left
field.
Delaware
increased its lead with three consecutive
two run innings. In the second, Bryan
Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) reached
on a fielding error by the third baseman
Dan Brady and scored when Menchaca doubled
to left-center.
Finally,
Menchaca scored from third on Davison's
single. Two more runs came from a
Richardson single in the bottom of the
third and Davison doubled in Kozek and
Graham who each singled in the fourth to
make the score 7-0.
The
Hens returned from a scoreless fifth
inning to drop seven runs on the Owls in
the sixth led by two three-run home runs
to left field by Valichka and Kozek on
Temple's Andrel.
Delaware
travels to Rutgers on Wednesday for a
single game slated for 3 p.m.
