Six run 10th inning gives Hens weekend series win over Hofstra

Steve Harden leads the way with five hits and his 11th homer

HEMPSTEAD, NY -- The University of Delaware scored six runs in the top half of 10th inning to take the rubber game of the three-game weekend series, 11-5, over host Hofstra University in Colonial Athletic Association baseball action Sunday afternoon at University Field in Hempstead, NY.

The Hens came up with 10 unanswered runs coming all the way back from a 5-1 deficit. Delaware improves its record to 17-30 and 6-11 in CAA play while the Dutchmen fall to 10-32 overall and 3-14 in the conference.

Senior third baseman Steve Harden went 5-for-6 which included a three-run homer that capped the six run outburst in the 10th inning. Harden leads the club with a .307 batting average with 11 homers, and 42 RBI's.

With the Hens leading 1-0 on a Harden RBI single in the top half of the third, Hofstra put five runs on the board in the bottom half of the inning to lead 5-1. Josh Stewart keyed the rally with a three-run homerun while J.P. Wechter drove in the other two runs with a double down the left field line.

Sophomore left fielder Brock Donovan smacked his second homer of the season leading off the fifth inning to cut the Delaware deficit to 5-3.

Delaware would tie the game in the eighth on a bases loaded balk by Sam DeLuca scoring Mark Michael. Deluca then uncorked a wild pitch scoring Dave Harden from third base to square the game 5-5.

Senior catcher Matt Wimer was hit by a pitch in the 10th inning to push across the winning run. Senior shortstop Kris Dufner lined a RBI single in the inning and Harden followed with his blast to centerfield.

Junior righty Mike Mihalik pitched 7.0 innings, allowing five runs, all in the second inning, while striking out seven. Sophomore righty Scott Rambo (3-5) worked three scoreless innings in relief to pick up the victory.

Dufner and Donovan were each 2-for-6 with two runs scored while senior right fielder Doug Eitelman went 2-for-3.

Delaware visits UMBC on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
