Blue Hens Unable to Overcome Early Scoring Burst


Mark Michael hits his first HR as a Blue Hen

SHREVEPORT, LA -- Nebasett Brown hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning setting the tone in a 6-4 Oklahoma State University victory over the University of Delaware in the closing game of the Shreveport Collegiate Classic at Fair Grounds Field Sunday afternoon.

The Cowboys (6-2), ranked #14 in the Baseball Weekly/ESPN Top 25 Coaches poll, struck early by scoring three runs in the first inning and two more in the third, providing them with enough cushion to snap a two-game losing skid. Kenny Hansley and Rob Watson fueled Oklahoma State's offense with two hits a piece, while Shreveport native Scott Baker recorded the victory in his first start of the season.

Sophomore Mark Michael (Gibbstown, NJ/Gloucester Catholic), a transfer from Old Dominion, hit his first home run as a Blue Hen and junior Reid Gorecki (E. Rockaway, NY/Kellenberg Memorial) went 3 for 5 with two runs scored as Delaware (0-6) comes up short in its bid for its first victory of the 2002 season.

Junior Doug Eitelman (Wilmington, DE/Concord) also added two hits on the day and batted .333 (6 for 18) with two runs and one RBI for Delaware over the three-game round-robin tournament. Junior shortstop Kris Dufner (Philadelphia, PA/Father Judge) was held hitless Sunday snapping his hitting streak at five games.

Delaware will be back in action on Friday March first when they take on Furman University in Conway, SC. Gametime is set for 1 p.m.
