Mike McGuire Wins Early Pitching Duel With William & Mary, 7-1; Hens Retrieve 33rd Consecutive 20-Win Season

NEWARK,DE (April 29, 2005)-- The University of Delaware baseball team defeated William & Mary, 7-1 in Colonial Athletic Association action on Friday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

With the win the Blue Hens improve to 20-20 (8-5 CAA) and record their 33rd consecutive 20-win season. William & Mary falls to 21-21 and drops to 7-12 in league play.

Mike McGuire (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley-at right) captured the victory and improves to 5-3 as the freshman allowed only one run and issued one walk all afternoon while striking out 10 in eight innings on the mound. Joe Kantakevich (1-3) suffered the loss for the Tribe by allowing two runs on four hits while striking out six in 6.2 innings pitched.

Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine) jacked a three-run homer while Brandon Menchaca (Wilmington, DE/Concord) drove in two runs with two hits, including a double, and added two runs scored. Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset) and Dan Richardson (Wilmington, DE/Concord) added a pair of hits while Hagerich doubled and Richardson drove in a run.

Will Rhymes led the Tribe with a solo home run to go along with a single while Greg Sexton tossed in a pair of hits to add to William & Mary's total nine hits.

Delaware hit the board first as Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) singled and moved to third on Hagerich's double and scored on a sacrifice by Menchaca to give the Hens a 1-0 lead in the bottom on the second.

Davison's three-run homer over the wall in left-center off Tribe reliever Michael LaFleur highlighted a four run seventh in which Hagerich and Menchaca combined for consecutive doubles to score the first run of the inning.

Rhymes solo shot in the top of the eighth broke McGuire's shutout and cut the deficit to 5-1 but the Hens retaliated with two more runs in the bottom of the inning to increase their lead to 7-1.

The teams continue the three-game set tommorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. at Bob Hannah Stadium.
