Blue Hens Pound Out 22 Hits in Win

Box score

NEWARK, DE -Senior Steve Van Note and junior Brock Donovan each drove in three runs and junior pitcher Chris Garrick (right) struck out seven in five innings of work as the University of Delaware baseball team completed a three-game sweep of in-state rival Delaware State with a 16-7 win Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Junior Ryan Graham went 4 for 6 with two RBI and fellow junior Ed McDonnell went 2 for 4 with two RBI for the Blue Hens (6-4), who won their sixth in a row and eighth-straight at home, dating back to last season. The last time Delaware won sixth in a row was back during the 2002 season.

"We're still hot swinging the bats and everyone is seeing the ball well. It looks like a beach ball to them," said Delaware head coach Jim Sherman. "This is Delaware baseball at its finest."

Delaware jumped out to an early 3-0 lead on an RBI groundout by Van Note in the first and and RBI singles from sophomore Todd Davison and Graham in the second. The Hornets (8-7) rallied back for two runs in the top of the third on and an RBI single from CJ Acker and an RBI groundout by Kelly Williams to cut the Blue Hen lead to 3-2.

The Blue Hens tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the third on an RBI groundout by Donovan, an RBI single by junior Kelly Buber and an RBI triple from McDonnell, increasing the lead to 6-2.

The Hornets scored once in the top of the fourth and the top of the seventh before Delaware pushed two runs across in the bottom of the fourth and one in the bottom of the sixth to take a 9-3 lead.

The Hens then blew the game open with six runs in the bottom of the seventh, scoring six times to take a 15-4 lead. Van Note singled home Davison, followed by a two-run single from Donovan, an RBI single from McDonnell, an RBI groundout from sophomore Brent Rogers and an RBI single by Graham. Davison's first home run of the season in the eighth put the Hens up 16-4 before Delaware State's Randy Boyer hit a three-run home run in the top of the ninth to make it 16-7.

With the win, Garrick improved to 2-1 on the season while Delaware State pitcher Kevin Long took the loss, allowing 11 hits and six earned runs in just 3.2 innings of work to fall to 1-3.

The Blue Hens return to action when they take on Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
