Delaware Baseball Sweeps Series with UMass By Winning Game Three, 13-1

Date: March 6, 2005

Boxscore

GEORGETOWN, DE - Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord - right ) led off his second-straight game with a solo home run and Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) knocked in three runs and collected three hits, including a two-run home run, as the University of Delaware baseball team, swept a three-game series with the University of Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon with a 13-1 victory at Delaware Technical Community College.

Scott Rambo (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown) (2-1) took the win for the Hens (5-4), who won their fourth consecutive game by allowing only two hits while striking out five in five scoreless innings on the mound. Jeremy Demers suffered the loss for the Minutemen (1-5) allowing five runs on eight hits and walking two in four innings.

Delaware picked up where they left off offensively from game two of the series by banging out 18 hits with three doubles and three home runs. Menchaca once again led the charge batting 2-for-3 with a run scored and a home run. Hagerich blasted a two run shot in the sixth inning and batted 3-for-4 with a run scored and a double, while Dan Kozek (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) tallied the Hens remaining home run with a solo shot in the fifth.

Every Delaware batter aside from Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant), who was walked in all four at bats and Mike Clifford (Rising Sun, MD/West Nottingham Academy) recorded a hit in the contest, six tallied multiple hits. Among the multiple hitters was Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Danville), who batted 2-for-2 with two RBI and Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana), who recorded two doubles. Despite the offense, the Hens left 19 runners on base and left three stranded with the bases loaded on four occasions during the contest.

The Delaware pitching staff held Massachusetts scoreless into the ninth until they allowed one unearned run when Bryan Adamski reached on an error by Brock Donovan (New Castle, DE/William Penn) and scored on a sacrifice hit by Curt Szado. The Hens allowed only four hits while walking five and striking out 11 in nine frames.

Derrick Durepo had the Minutemen's only multi-hit game batting 2-for-4 while Bryan Garrity and Dan Coury each added a hit.

"It was a very satisfying weekend with the hitting and the pitching," said Head Coach Jim Sherman, "We were fortunate to use Delaware Tech's facilities because otherwise the games may not have gotten in."

The Hens will travel to Rider University for their next game on Wednesday, March 9 at 3 p.m.
