Jason Rogers snaps Hens five game losing streak with eight shutout
innings in a game one victory

TOWSON, MD -- Sophomore righthander Jason Rogers (New Castle, DE/William Penn) pitched eight shutout innings in a 7-0 win for the University of Delaware baseball team in the first game of a Colonial Athletic Association doubleheader with Towson University today at Schuerholz Park. The Tigers came back and won the nightcap 7-3.

Rogers scattered six hits and struck out three over 8.0 innings while sophomore righty Scott Rambo pitched a scoreless ninth striking out one batter.

Junior designated hitter Mark Michael put the Hens up 1-0 in the second on an RBI double. Michael pushed the lead to 2-0 in the fourth with a sacrifice fly while sophomore second baseman Brock Donovan singled in freshman catcher Brian Valichka in the fifth for a 3-0 Delaware lead.

Freshman left fielder Daryl Holcomb ripped a two RBI double in the eight inning to give the Hens a 7-0 advantage.

Senior first baseman Steve Harden went 3-for-5 with a double while Michael drove in three runs.

In the nightcap, senior third baseman Kris Dufner put the Blue Hens up 1-0 an a sacrifice fly in the first but Towson responded with three runs of its own in the bottom of the inning, keyed by a two-run homer by Casper Wells, his first as a collegiate.

Freshman second baseman Brent Rogers tripled in a run for Delaware in the third to cut the Towson lead to 4-2 and Harden homered to left, his team-leading sixth of the season, in the fourth to stay within two runs, 5-3, but the Tigers would add two more runs in the fifth inning for a comfortable 7-3 lead.

Rogers had two of the Hens four hits in the nightcap while senior catcher Matt Wimer had a single and a run scored.

The Blue Hens (10-20, 2-5 CAA) take on Towson (15-14, 4-3 CAA) in the final game of the weekend series tomorrow at 1 p.m.
