Hagerich Hits Grand Slam, Knocks in Five Runs as Hens Take Series from William & Mary with 12-6 Win

Date: May 1, 2005

NEWARK, DE -- Sophomore left fielder Bryan Hagerich (right) clouted a grand slam in the third inning, scored three runs, and finished with four hits and a career-high five runs batted in as the University of Delaware took a Colonial Athletic Association baseball series from William & Mary with a 12-6 victory Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The Hens (21-21, 9-6 CAA), who have won six of their last eight games, remained in third place in the CAA standings heading into next weekend's key three-game home set with fourth place George Mason. Delaware, which downed William & Mary 7-1 Friday before falling to the Tribe 10-6 Saturday, are now 6-1 in their last seven conference games. The top six teams in the CAA advance to the conference tournament to be held May 25-28 in Wilmington, NC.

William & Mary fell to 22-22 (8-13 CAA) despite a big day from second baseman Will Rhymes, who went three for four with a double, home run, and two runs batted in. Five of the Tribe's eight hits went for extra bases, including three home runs. Catcher Mike DeCarlo and third baseman Greg Sexton, who scored three runs and knocked in two others, hit the other William & Mary home runs.

Delaware banged out 12 hits and four home runs and scored at least one run in all but two innings, including four-run bursts in both the third and fifth innings. Senior Scott Rambo (6-3) got the win on the mound, going six innings and overcoming seven walks while striking out five. Delaware touched William & Mary starter Cory Forrest (2-4) for six hits and seven runs in four and one-third innings.

Brandon Menchaca collected two hits and knocked in three with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and a two-run homer in the fifth inning, his team-high seventh of the year. Brian Valichka and Adam Tsakonas also hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth for the Blue Hens.

The Tribe got on the board with a first inning run without the benefit of a hit but the Hens came back to tie the score at 1-1 in the second when Hagerich tripled and scored on Menchaca's sacrifice fly. The Hens then took the lead for good when Hagerich hit his seventh home run of the season to clear the bases in the third. Delaware's four runs in the fifth upped the lead to 9-2.

Delaware returns to non-league action Tuesday when the Hens travel to UMBC for a 7 p.m. game.
