Three-run eighth lifts Delaware over Bryant on Sunday

NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware scored three times in the bottom of the eighth to hand the Bryant baseball team a tough-luck 4-2 defeat on Sunday afternoon at Bob Hannah Stadium.
 
The Bulldogs fall to 3-5-1 and drops the weekend series with the Blue Hens with the loss. Bryant has now lost four of its five games in the eighth inning or later. The Black and Gold are back at Conaty Park on Tuesday (March 4) when they host Merrimack at 2:30 p.m.
 
Bryant led 2-0 after five and 2-1 heading into the bottom of the eighth on Sunday. A one-out bloop to shallow right, however, fell between three Bryant fielders for a double. A sinking liner to left then fell for a game-tying double and the Blue Hens took the lead with a two-out, two-run single.
 
Clay Robbins was saddled with a no decision after allowing just one run on five hits over five-plus innings. He didn't walk a batter and struck out five. Jared Burrows tossed 2.0 scoreless innings.
 
Zac Zyons scored both of Bryant's runs on Sunday, while Gavin Noriega had two hits and an RBI.
