 Hofstra
Uses Five-Run Ninth Inning to Top Delaware
9-6
Date:
March 27, 2005
NEWARK, DE
-- The University of Delaware baseball
team's bats came around a little too late
as a four-run ninth inning effort was not
enough to push the Hens past Hofstra in a
9-6 Colonial Athletic Association loss
Sunday at Bob Hannah Stadium.
Despite
the loss, the Hens went 2-1 vs. the Pride
in the CAA opening series over the
weekend.
Scott
Rambo (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown) (2-3)
suffered the loss for the Hens (9-12, 2-1
CAA) by allowing four runs, three earned,
on seven hits during his seven inning
outing. Will DeVito (4-2) picked up the
win for the Pride (8-13, 1-2 CAA) by
allowing two earned runs on nine hits in
eight innings on the mound.
Down 9-2
in the bottom of the ninth Delaware put
together a four run inning that began with
four consecutive singles from Dan
RIchardson (Bear, DE/Caravel), Ryan Graham
(Danville, IL/Triton), Brandon Menchaca
(Wilmington, DE/Concord), and Todd Davison
(Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine-at right).
Adam
Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area)
was the first out of the inning as he sent
a sacrifice fly deep to center to score
Graham. Brian Valichka (Frederick,
MD/Urbana) reached on an error that scored
Menchaca. With two outs Brock Donovan (New
Castle, DE/William Penn) singled down the
right field line scoring Davison and
leaving runners on the corners.
Brent
Gaphardt (Bel Air, MD/Dundalk), who the
day before pitched a no-hitter in an 11-0
win over Hofstra, came in to pinch hit
against Pride lefty Jeff Denlea and earned
a walk to load the bases. Richardson then
popped out to second base to end the rally
and the game.
Delaware
was led by Donovan, who batted 4-for-5
with an RBI. He was complemented by
Menchaca, Davison, and Richardson who had
two hits a piece with Menchaca belting a
solo home run for the Hens' first run in
the sixth while Davison and Richardson
chipped in doubles.
Rambo was
replaced in the seventh by Matt Heppner
(Riverhead, NY/RIverhead), who allowed
five runs on nine hits in three innings of
work.
Ricky
Caputo led the Pride, batting 4-for-4 with
two doubles, three RBI, and a run scored.
Mike Walsh, George Athanasopoulos, Andy
Campana, David Cole, and Eric Balson added
two hits a piece to the Hofstra total 16
hits in the contest.
The Pride
took the early lead in the third inning as
Caputo bounced a double off the left field
fence, scoring Josh Stewart. Hofstra had
increased their lead to 4-0 before
Menchaca could get the Hens on the board
with his solo home run to cut the lead to
4-1 in the bottom of the sixth.
Delaware
chipped away at the lead once again in the
bottom of the eighth as Davison doubled to
left field and Tsakonas singled to left to
open the inning. Hagerich reached on a
fielder's choice that scored Davison but
forced Tsakonas into a putout at second,
cutting the lead to 4-2.
Delaware
will take to the road on Monday, March 28
as it will face La Salle in the first
round of the Liberty Bell Classic with
game time slated for 3 p.m.
