TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team honored eight seniors before dropping a 6-1 decision to Delaware Sunday afternoon at Schuerholz Park.
 
How It Happened

• The Tigers (19-32, 9-12 CAA) got on the board in the first inning after Richie Palacios singled to center and went to second on a sacrifice from Colin Gimblet.  Brady Policelli followed with a single through the left side.  Policelli took second as the throw went home, and when the catcher tried to throw out Policelli, Palacios hustled home from third.
• The Blue Hens (31-20, 9-12 CAA) took the lead in the fourth inning as two-straight hits put runners on corners.  After a wild pitch scored one run, Nick Patten drove in two runs with a double to left.  Doug Trimble plated the fourth run of the inning with a single into the hole at second.
