Blue Hens drop fifth straight, this time in extra innings

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ -- Carl Loadenthal hit a walk-off grandslam in the bottom of the 11th inning to give Rider University a 9-8 win over the University of Delaware in a non-league baseball game today at Daly Field in Lawrenceville, NJ. The Blue Hens have now dropped five straight and fall to 9-19 on the year while the Broncs improve to 9-12 this season.

With the game tied 5-5 heading to the top half of the 11th inning, freshman third baseman Brent Rogers singled in two runs to cap a three run inning that gave Delaware an 8-5 lead heading to the bottom half of the inning where Loadenthal blasted his game-winning shot.

Sophomore second baseman Brock Donovan put the Hens up 2-1 in the second as he drove in two with a single to right center.

Rogers led off the eighth inning with solo homer, his first at Delaware, to give Delaware a 5-4 advantage but the Broncs would tie the game 5-5 in the bottom half of the inning on a RBI groundout by Steve Sciaraffo. Each team put a runner on in the ninth but were unable to score the winning run in regulation sending the game to extra frames.

Delaware senior catcher Matt Wimer smacked a one-out double to right center in the 10th inning but Eric Weiner, the last of seven RIder pitchers, got the next two batters to ground out to end the inning. In the bottom of the 11th, sophomore righty Chris Garrick (0-2) struck out Sciaraffo to lead off the inning. From there he allowed three straight singles to load the bases with Loadenthal heading to the plate.

Todd Davison, Kris Dufner, Steve Van Note, Steve Harden and Rogers each had two of the 16 Delaware hits.

Junior righty Mark Michael started for the Hens and went 7.0 innings allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and struck out three.

The Blue Hens (9-19) begin a three-game weekend series tomorrow at Colonial Athletic Association rival Towson at 3 p.m.
