Blue Hens Open Weekend CAA Series vs. Towson with 6-3 Victory

NEWARK, DE (April 1, 2005) -- Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) and Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) each hit RBI doubles in the seventh inning and freshman Mike McGuire (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley) pitched seven solid innings to pick up the victory on the mound as the University of Delaware baseball team opened its weekend three-game set with Colonial Athletic Association rival Towson with a 6-3 win Friday at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Delaware (11-13, 3-1 CAA) jumped out to a 4-0 lead thanks to run-scoring hits by Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) in the first and third innings and Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine) in the fourth before Towson rallied to cut the lead to 4-3 in the seventh inning.

Richardson finished with three hits on the day while McGuire struck out five Tiger batters in seven innings to improve to 3-2. Jason Rogers (New Castle, DE/William Penn) pitched two scoreless innings to pick up the save for the Hens his second of the season.

Delaware totaled 11 hits, five went for extra bases, as four Hens had multiple hit games and six Delaware batters tallied a hit on the day.

Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana) stayed hot for the Hens with two doubles and adding a run scored while Hagerich finished out the afternoon batting 2-for-3 with two RBI. Despite his team leading 11 game hitting streak coming to a close, Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) added a run scored on two walks.

Towson was led by Casper Wells who's two run shot to left field cut the Hens lead to 2-4 in the top of the fifth as the left fielder also chipped in a single. Adam Heffron and Hans Falkenhan each punched in a pair of singles and a run scored while Pat Fields, Mark Chiccini, and Brian Conley all singled to round out the Tigers' 10 hits.

Joe Peeler (1-2) suffered the loss for Towson allowing three runs on five hits and striking out one in 2.1 innings of work. He was replaced by Jason Summerlin who allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six before being replaced by Steve Johnson in the seventh.

Delaware and Towson will continue their three-game set on Saturday, April 2 at 1 p.m. at Bob Hannah Stadium
