Delaware Drops Doubleheader to Penn State, 6-1, 12-6

March 19, 2005

NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware baseball team dropped a doubleheader to Penn State, who used 22 total hits on Saturday at Bob Hannah Stadium to sweep the Hens, 6-1 in the first game and 12-6 in the nightcap.

Taking the losses for Delaware (7-10) were Mike McGuire (Swarthmore, PA/Ridley) (1-2) and Brent Gaphardt (Bel Air, MD/Dundalk) (0-3) while Sean Stidfole (2-2) and Craig Clark (1-0) posted wins for the Nittany Lions.

Todd Davison (Somers Point, NJ/St. Augustine) led the Blue Hen offense batting 4-for-5 in the second game, 4-for-8 overall, and added a run scored. Bryan Hagerich (Somerset, PA/Somerset-at right) and Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) each added two hits, an RBI, and a run scored while Hagerich added a deep home run to center field late in the ninth.

McGuire went the distance in the seven-inning first game allowing six runs on eight hits. Penn State's Stidfole also pitched in all seven as he let up one run and held the Hens to only two hits.

The Nittany Lions were led by Matt Cavagnaro, who batted 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, and two runs scored. Brian Ernst and Aaron Greenfield each drove in two runs in the effort as Greenfield put a two run shot over the left field fence in the second inning.

Delaware's only run in the contest came in the fifth inning when Dave Harden (Wilmington, DE/Dickinson) was hit by a pitch and advanced to second when Dan Kozek (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) singled, and scored on a wild pitch.

In the second game Gaphardt allowed five runs, four earned, in the first inning by walking four batters and allowing two hits. He rebounded from the inning and did not let in another run before being replaced by Chad Kerfoot (Owings, MD/Northern) in the sixth.

Kerfoot wound up stunting the Penn State offense until the ninth inning when it exploded once again for five runs on five hits, leaving only one man on base.

The Hens came within one run of tying the game in the fifth inning. After scoring three in the fourth, Delaware put another run on the board when Menchaca singled to right, Davison singled up the middle, and Adam Tsakonas (Pottstown, PA/Boyertown Area) singled to left. The inning ended there as Brian Valichka (Frederick, MD/Urbana) and Dan Richardson (Bear, DE/Caravel) each flied out to end the inning.

Delaware left 11 men stranded on the base-paths during the second game and 15 overall for the day while Penn State left 13 on the bags in the second game and 16 overall.

The Blue Hens and the Nittany Lions continue their three-game series tommorrow at 1 p.m. at Bob Hannah Stadium..
