Hargrave Grand Slams UNC Wilmington Past Delaware Baseball, 7-6 in Series-Opener

WILMINGTON, NC (April 15, 2005)-- Freshman Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) sent a three-run round-tripper to left field in the top of the fourth for the lead but UNC Wilmington's Daniel Hargrave had the last word in the bottom of the inning, as the rightfielder sent a grand slam to centerfield to led UNC Wilmington past Delaware baseball, 7-6 on Friday in Colonial Athletic Association Actionat Brooks Field.

The Seahawks (25-12, 10-0 CAA) nearly let a 7-4 lead slip away as Delaware (13-7, 3-4 CAA) put together two consecutive unanswered single-run innings. Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertwon Area) led off the eighth with his third home run of the year, a solo shot to left-center, followed by Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine), who in the ninth led off with a single down the left field line granting him a hit in every conference competition thusfar. Kelly Buber (Yuba City, CA/Yuba Community) grounded into a fielder's choice on the following play and was replaced on the bag by Brent Rogers (Claymont, DE/Mt. Pleasant), who advanced to second on a passed ball and scored when Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana) singled down the left field line.

The Hens loaded the bases with one out as Tsakonas was hit by a pitch and Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) singled but it was to no avail as Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) and Richardson struck out to end the game.

Mike McGuire (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley) (3-3) took the loss for Delaware allowing all seven of the Seahawk runs on seven hits during six innings of work. He was replaced by Billy Harris (Bear, DE/Salesanium) who pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless and hitless relief. Ronald Hill (7-3) picked up the win for UNC Wilmington after allowing four runs on eight hits in seven innings pitched.

Richardson led the Hens offensively by hitting a triple away from the cycle as Hagerich extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Menchaca and Valichka each had multi-hit games as Ryan Graham (Danville, IL/Triton) rounded out Delaware's 13 hits with a single.

UNC Wilmington was led by Hargrave and Chris Hatcher who combined for five RBI from home runs John Raynor was the only Seahawk aside from Hatcher to have a multi-hit game.

The Seahawks took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when catcher Chris Hatcher belted a leadoff home run over the left field fence but the Blue Hens tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the second when Valichka scored on a Richardson double.

The teams continue the three-game set on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Brooks Field.
