Harden, McDonnell Lead Hens Past Dukes

Box Score

NEWARK, DE - Junior Dave Harden went 2 for 5 with a two-run home run and four RBI and junior Ed McDonnell went 4 for 5 with three RBI and three runs scored as the University of Delaware baseball team defeated James Madison University, 13-9, in Colonial Athletic Association action Friday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The Blue Hens (22-16, 5-7 CAA) won for the ninth time in 11 games while the Dukes (26-15, 7-6 CAA) lost their second-straight following a four-game winning streak. Additionally, Delaware has now won two straight over JMU while snapping the Dukes' five-game CAA win streak.

Delaware opened the scoring in the bottom of the second inning, scoring four times to take a 4-0 lead. After sophomore Brian Valichka scored on an infield single by junior Ryan Graham (right), senior Steve Van Note drew a bases loaded walk to give the Blue Hens a 2-0 lead. Harden followed with a double down the left field line to score sophomore Todd Davison and Graham to up the lead to 4-0.

James Madison struck back for two in the top of the third on Mike Butia's 16th home run of the season, a two-run blast over the right field fence that was his first on the road this season. The Blue Hens got one of those runs back in the bottom of the third as sophomore Brent Rogers dropped down a bunt with McDonnell at third. Dukes pitcher Bobby Lasko threw home but McDonnell beat the play, giving the Hens a 5-2 lead.

Delaware junior Kelly Buber extended his hitting streak to 19 games with an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth that scored Van Note, upping the lead to 6-2. Van Note, who led off the inning, was hit in the back by the second pitch after the first pitch was thrown behind his head.

Nate Schill's RBI double for the Dukes cut the deficit to 6-3 but the Blue Hens struck back for four runs in the bottom of the fifth, highlighted by Harden's 13th home run of the season. With Van Note on second, Harden belted the pitch from Ryan Lobban over the fence in left center to extend the Hens lead to 10-3.

The Dukes refused to fold, scoring six times in the top of the sixth to make it a 10-9 game. The big blow came off the bat of Davis Stoneburner, who ripped a line drive over the left field fence for a three-run home run, his third of the season.

McDonnell gave the Hens some breathing room in the bottom of the sixth as he blasted his second home run of the season over the left field fence, upping the lead to 12-9. In the seventh, McDonnell laced a single to center to score Buber and increase the lead to 13-9.

Junior Scott Rambo picked up his fifth win of the season, tossing five innings of five hit ball, allowing six runs (four earned) while striking out seven. Lasko suffered the loss for the Dukes, allowing seven hits and six earned runs in 3.1 innings of work, striking out one. Freshman Mitch Heckert and senior Mike Iannucci followed Rambo before sophomore Joe Coudon came on to earn his sixth save of the season.

The Blue Hens and Dukes play game two of this three-game series Saturday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium at 1 p.m.
