Championship
Temple 11, Delaware

April 6, 2000
Owls Strike Early
to Down Hens for Coveted LBC
Crown
PHILADELPHIA -- Temple University
batted around and scored five runs in the second half to
take the lead for good and moved on to an 11-4 victory over
the University of Delaware Thursday night in the finals of
the Liberty Bell Classic Baseball Tournament at Veteran's
Stadium.
The Owls (9-16-1), who also beat the Blue
Hens 8-7 back in March, won their second Liberty Bell
Classic title in the tournament's nine-year existence. The
Blue Hens (15-10), winners of four LBC titles, were making
their eighth tournament final appearance.

Temple banged out 14 hits on the night as
catcher Jeff Roma went 3 for 5 and knocked in two runs.
Third baseman Bob Sabolchick keyed the five-run second with
a two-run single and shortstop Mike Jenkins also knocked in
two runs to make a winner of Matt Powell (2-0), who pitched
six strong innings, allowing just five Blue Hen hits. Chris
Joyce pitched three scoreless innings to earn his first save
of the season.
Delaware collected eight hits and got a
big performance from third baseman Peter Maestrales
(Delray Beach, FL/Pope John Paul II). The junior went 2 for
4 and clouted a three-run home run, his ninth of the season,
in the sixth inning to pull the Hens to within 7-4.
Maestrales also doubled and scored a run in the fifth inning
for the Hens.
Delaware starter Nick Spiewak
(1-2) took the loss for the Hens, allowing five hits and
three earned runs in four innings.
After Delaware pulled to within 7-4 on
Maestrales' sixth inning home run, Temple added some
insurance with four runs in the eighth inning to put the
game away.
Delaware will continue play this weekend
when the Hens take on Drexel for four America East games in
Philadelphia beginning Saturday.
