Delaware 3, George Mason 2 April 20, 2003 Blue Hens Take Two of Three from Patriots in Weekend Series Senior first baseman Steve Harden (15) played in his 200th career game for the Hens and knocked in the winning run in the eighth inning NEWARK, DE -- Junior righthander Mike Mihalik pitched a six-hit complete game to give the University of Delaware a 3-2 win over visiting George Mason University in Colonial Athletic Association baseball action today at Bob Hannah Stadium. The victory gives the Blue Hens their first conference series win as they took two of three games from the Patriots.

Harden also tied the game 2-2 in the third on a bloop single over the second baseman that scored two runs. George Mason took a lead in the top half of the third when Matt Cooksey doubled home Jimmy Freund with the games first run. Cooksey would score on a push bunt by Evan Howard for a 2-0 advantage. Howard went 3-for-4 on the day while Freund was 2-for-3. Patriots starter Jake Glanzmann pitched 7.2 innings allowing nine hits and struck out six.
