Towson Edges Blue Hens in Ninth

Eric Ludman belts his first career homer
NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware baseball team battled back from a three-run deficit Friday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium, but ultimately fell at the hands of Towson, 6-5, in the four-game series opener.
After a three-run second inning by the Tigers, Delaware responded with a four-run home half of the third that included a two-run home run by senior Jack Goan.
Goan had a 2-for-3 day at the plate and junior Joseph Carpenter drove in the other two in the inning with a base hit to right field.
Towson managed a run in each of the next two innings to take a 5-4 lead before the Blue Hens tied it in the sixth, via a freshman Eric Ludman home run, the first of his career.
Junior Mike Biasiello worked 4.0 strong innings out of the Delaware bullpen, allowing just one hit and what would be the game-winning run in the ninth inning. Biasiello punched out six Tigers on the afternoon.
The series continues Saturday with a 1 p.m. first pitch that starts off a doubleheader at Bob Hannah Stadium before the series concludes Sunday.
