Bryan Hagerich

8:57 a.m., March 22, 2006--The University of Delaware baseball team defeated host Lehigh University 12-4 on Tuesday afternoon in the opening round of the Liberty Bell Tournament, which features college teams from throughout the Delaware Valley. The game was called in the top of the eighth inning due to darkness.

With the win, the Fightin' Blue Hens advance to the semifinals of the Liberty Bell Tournament on Tuesday, April 4. The time, site and opponent will be determined at a later date.

The 10-6 Hens will return to action on Wednesday afternoon, March 22, when they travel to Philadelphia to take on La Salle University. The first pitch is set for 2:30 p.m.

UD will return home for a three-game Colonial Athletic Association weekend series against Northeastern University, with games at 3 p.m., Friday, March 24, and at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 25, and Sunday, March 26, at Bob Hannah Stadium.

Against Lehigh, UD jumped on top with 11 runs in the first three innings. Leftfielder Bryan Hagerich had four hits, including his fourth home run of the year, and had a career-high six runs batted in. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Kevin Brown allowed just one earned run over six innings.

Third baseman Adam Tsakonas had a double and three runs batted in, and shortstop Todd Davison scored four runs.
