Eight runs in ninth inning gives Hens doubleheader split with Delaware State

DOVER, DE -- The University of Delaware broke open a scoreless game with eight runs in the top of the ninth inning and would go on to a 8-0 win in the first game of a doubleheader with in-state rival Delaware State today at Soldier Field in Dover, DE. The Hornets returned the favor with a shutout of their own in the second game, allowing only three hits for a 3-0 victory.

Junior Mike Mihalik (Allentown, PA) went 8.0 innings, scattering seven hits and struck out nine to pick up the win in the first game. The game, which was scheduled for seven innings, went scoreless until the ninth inning when the Blue Hens sent 13 men to the plate, scoring eight times on five hits and one Delaware State error.

Sophomore Brock Donovan (New Castle, DE) scored the winning run when senior Steve Harden's (Wilmington, DE) ground ball was not fielded cleanly by the Hornets shortstop and he would compound the problem with a throwing error that brought Donovan all the way around from second base with the game deciding run.

Junior Steve Van Note (Brigantine, NJ) followed two batters later with a three-run homer to left-center field giving the Hens a comfortable 5-0 lead. Donovan would bat for a second time in the inning and doubled to right field scoring two to cap the game's scoring.

Van Note finished 1-for-4 with three RBI while Donovan went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI.

Garrett Weir had three of the seven Delaware State (8-16) hits in the first game with Scott Martin going 2-for-4.

In the nightcap, Tim Vaillancourt limited the Hens to three hits and stuck out four batters. Delaware has now been shutout three times this season. Buster Hammond and Cory Cooper each drove in a run for the Hornets.

Senior Ryan Dulaney (Annapolis, MD) took the loss, allowing five hits, three runs (one earned) and struck out four batters. Senior Doug Eitelman (Wilmington, DE) had a pinch-hit double in the sixth while freshman Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ) and Donovan each had a single for the Hens.

The Blue Hens (5-10) return to action tomorrow when they host Monmouth University at Bob Hannah Stadium. First game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
