Delaware baseball team adds a pair of pitchers 1:35 p.m., May 19, 2004--Two pitchers have signed NCAA National Letters of Intent to compete for the University of Delaware baseball team, according to Head Coach Jim Sherman. Joining the Fightin’ Blue Hens for the 2005 season will be Evan Bowen, a 6-foot 3-inch, 210 pound right-handed pitcher from West Redding, Conn., and Brent Gaphardt, a 6-foot 4-inch 225 pound southpaw from Bel Air, Md. Bowen is a postgraduate student at Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut, where he is 5-0 with a 0.76 earned run average and 53 strikeouts in 47 innings pitched. As a senior at Notre Dame High School in Fairfield, Conn., last spring, he went 10-1 with a 1.39 ERA and threw 26 consecutive shutout innings as Notre Dame won the Connecticut Class M state championship. Bowen finished his pitching career at Notre Dame with a record of 20-2. Also a standout football player at Notre Dame, Bowen earned All-State honors as a quarterback. In three years as a starter, he threw for 5,121 yards and rushed for 988 yards and 19 touchdowns. Gaphardt is a pitcher at Dundalk Community College in Maryland, where he ranks sixth nationally with an average of 1.50 strikeouts per inning. He has a record of 7-3 with a 2.21 ERA, and has struck out 100 batters. This summer, Gaphardt will join current UD pitchers Joe Coudon and Chad Kerfoot on the staff of the Maryland Orioles, which won the 2003 All-American Amateur Baseball Association championship.
