WRIGHT v. UNIVERSAL MARITIME SERVICE CORP.
CORP. et al.
certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the fourth circuit
Petitioner Wright, a longshoreman, was subject to a collective-bargaining agreement (CBA) and a Longshore Seniority Plan, both of which contained an arbitration clause. When respondents refused to employ him following his settlement of a claim for permanent disability benefits for job-related injuries, Wright filed this suit, alleging discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The District Court dismissed the case without prejudice because Wright had failed to pursue the arbitration procedure provided by the CBA. The Fourth Circuit affirmed.
Held:<unicode value="8194"> The CBAs general arbitration clause does not require Wright to use the arbitration procedure for alleged violation of the ADA. Pp. 411.
(a) The Fourth Circuits conclusions that the CBA arbitration clause encompassed a statutory claim under the ADA and was enforceable bring into focus the tension between two lines of this Courts case law. Compare, e.g., Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co. , 415 U. S. 36, with, e.g., Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., 500 U. S. 20. However, it is unnecessary to resolve the question of the validity of a union-negotiated waiver of employees statutory rights to a federal forum, since it is apparent, on the facts and arguments presented here, that no such waiver has occurred. Pp. 46.
(b) Petitioners ADA claim is not subject to the presumption of arbitrability this Court has found in §301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947. That presumption does not extend beyond the reach of the principal rationale that justifies it, i.e., that arbitrators are in a better position than courts to interpret the terms of a CBA. See, e.g., AT&T Technologies, Inc. v. Communications Workers, 475 U. S. 643. The dispute here ultimately concerns not the application or interpretation of any CBA, but the meaning of a federal statute, the ADA. Although ordinary textual analysis of a CBA may show that matters beyond the interpretation and application of contract terms are subject to arbitration, they will not be presumed to be so. Pp. 68.
(c) In order for a union to waive employees rights to a federal judicial forum for statutory antidiscrimination claims, the agreement to arbitrate such claims must be clear and unmistakable. Cf., e.g., Metropolitan Edison Co. v. NLRB , 460 U. S. 693. The CBAs arbitration clause is very general, providing only for arbitration of [m]atters under dispute, and the remainder of the contract contains no explicit incorporation of statutory antidiscrimination requirements. For similar reasons, there is no clear and unmistakable waiver in the Longshore Seniority Plan. This Court does not reach the question whether such a waiver would be enforceable. Pp. 911.
121 F. 3d 702, vacated and remanded.
Scalia, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

It was a rough start to the week for the grain markets as corn, soybeans, and wheat all finished sharply lower. Poor economic data out of China caused their markets to trade lower and we then saw follow through selling by morning in the US grain markets. The real story of the day however was the massive sell-off in gold and crude oil. There have been numerous reports since Friday that the country of Cyrus is being forced to liquidate their gold holdings in order to help fund the country's massive bailout. This situation has caused investors to wonder if there will be more countries in similar situations in the near future.
This morning's export inspections were extremely disappointing for soybeans at 4.81 million bushels when the trade was looking for 14.5 million bushels. Corn exports were a little better than expected at 14.70 million bushels and wheat was below the trade estimates at 23.47 million bushels.
NOPA crush was also released this morning and contributed to the sell-off in the soybean market as the crush was reported to be 137.08 million bushels when the trade was looking for closer to 140 million bushels.
Today's weather reports were mixed with the morning run showing a warmer dryer pattern for the majority of the corn-belt for next week's time frame followed by a slightly wetter pattern during the mid-day. We will continue to pass along any updates as we closely monitor the weather situation as it pertains to planting progress.
Corn is now 2 percent planted which is being the average pace of 6% (average of 1986-2012 planting at this time of year). Traders were looking for 4-5 percent planted which may be slightly supportive on the overnight session. Winter wheat conditions were left unchanged from last week.
There was a gap fill in November soybeans going all the way back to June 2012. With the $12.00 psychological level so close, we may see some support near here. If we don't see that $12.00 level hold, it could be that next "resistance" point where heavy hedge pressure is found. Have a great week and please call if you have any questions!

Kim Dotcom seizures 'null and void'
Kiwi cops got it wrong, says High Court
In an astonishing blunder, New Zealand's Crown Law Office and its police commissioner have admitted to a 'procedural error' when they seized cash, cars and other property from Megaupload chief Kim Dotcom.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Justice Judith Potter of the High Court has declared the first restraining order under which the seizures were made to be "null and void" and having "no legal effect".
The slip-up happened when the police applied for the seizure of Megaupload assets during January, and was discovered within the week, with police making a revised application on January 30. However, the approach taken by NZ Police and the Crown Law Office had denied Dotcom a chance to mount a defense, the judge said.
The blog Talkleft has noted that the mistake was made despite NZ Police boasting that a team of five from the OFCANZ (New Zealand's organized crime agency) had worked on the case, up to and including the seizures, hand-in-hand with the FBI.
Radio New Zealand reports that during the next week, Justice Potter will hold another hearing to decide whether or not the assets should be returned. ®

Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board copyright, 1992
Revised: June, 1993
- Note: Addresses and numbers may have changed since this was written; contact the SF History Center (415-557-4567) for the latest numbers.
- Note also: Before you do anything, make sure your building isn't an individual landmark or in a Historic District which means it is already researched, although not as thoroughly as you may want to do. Ask at the desk in the History Center for case reports. And don't forget, as you work, to write everything down; straighten out later.
- Assessor's Office, City Hall. This step is to orient you. There's a large map in the office where you find your block number. Using the Block Books (on shelves, southeast corner of the ante-room arranged by block numbers), make a freehand sketch of your block and lots. Note the depth and width (metes and bounds) and lot number of each lot fronting on the street on which your property is. The map will identify the part of town: 50 vara (downtown), 100 vara (south of Market), Mission, Sunset, etc., and the homestead or subdivision name. Using the microfiche (ask at desk; use the section by street names) note whatever information is given for your building. Dates for buildings built before 1900 are not always accurate; the date is invariably "1900." Note the dates of the other buildings fronting on your street, on both sides of the street if it seems relevant.
- Recorder's Office, City Hall: Map Books. These are oversized books (labeled A-B," "G," etc.) in a bookshelf at the rear of the Recorder's Office, just before the northern office. There's an Index on the counter. By this time you know the name of your subdivision (if there is one). Look in the Index under its title for the Map Book and page number. These maps will give you the date of the survey, the date filed, the owners, the designer (if any) of the subdivision.
- History Room, Main library: look in the earliest Block Book to show your block and lot. These books are 1894, 1901, 1906, 1907 (Homesteads) and ca. 1910. Some of these are on microfilm and may be copied. At the beginning of each volume, there are maps, arranged by sections of the city (Western Addition, etc.) which will give you your block number and, a few pages beyond, the page number for each block. What you are after is the owner of your lot in that year (who might not have been the first owner). Note the metes and bounds, plus the lot numbers and block number (important; it's the old block number) and anything else on the map, such as the name of the tract or homestead. Scan both frontages on your street and in your block to see if the owner of your lot owned other lots--he could have been a developer. Check other Block Books in the same way so you have a record of ownership before going to the City Directories. (See number 5)
- Water connections. What you are after is the name of the person who signed for the water; if you are lucky it will be the owner, but it could be the plumber, contractor, etc. It is best to go to the Water Dept., 1155 Market Street, and ask to see the original application for water because other information is given, such as the use of the building, number of rooms, etc. Copy down everything including sketches and their dates--and watch for erasures and other changes. (Dates could even be a previous building on the lot. In Water Dept. parlance "rebuilt" means a completely new building.) The application will be filed by today's address but may have the historical address. If you can't make the trip to the Water Dept., the History Room has Tap Records on microfilm, filed by street names. These list the name of the person who signed for the original water service. The old addresses have been crossed out and replaced with today's addresses, but check the location of the tap connection (to the right of your address) to make sure you have your lot. While you're at it, check other water connections on your street to get an idea of the settlement pattern. The weakness in using the Tap Records is that you don't know whether there was a subsequent building on the lot--and not every building is listed.
- City Directories (Periodicals, Main Library): check the names of all persons whose names appears on the water application. The date of the water connection should function as the date of construction or completion; use the appropriate year or the next year. With luck the signer will be the first owner-occupant of the building. If the signer is not the occupant, check the name you found on the Block Book to see if he/she was living there at the time the water was connected. Quite often ownership was in the name of the wife, the Directory in the name of the husband. Check both backwards and forwards for as long as you can find your person. Note all persons with the same surname at that address. You may do the same for other owners in other Block Books.
Sales Records
- If you have not found your owner/occupant, you'll have to look up sales records. You might want to do this anyway to find from whom your owner bought. The San Francisco Real Estate Circular (1860s to after the turn of the century, not inclusive) in the History Room gives sales information; however it lists no names and doesn't cover outlying parts of the city. The sales are listed by the area of the city; you know what this is because it was on the Assessor's records and the Block Books. Remember that your owner might have bought several years before he or she built or connected water, or the sale might have been recorded some years after building. Be sure to note in the Circular the dates between which the deeds were recorded.
- If you find your real estate transaction and if it falls within the dates of the San Francisco News Letter (September, 1865 through 1886), make a trip to Sutro Library, west of Stonestown, to look at the News Letter. This will give you the names of the seller and buyer and has pretty good city coverage. Look your seller up in the City Directories to see who s/he was.
- The newspapers (microfilm, Periodicals, Main Library). Most of the newspapers had regular real estate coverage, at least towards the end of the century, and you can find both your sale and the building contract (if there was one; not every building had a contract). The Chronicle had a section, "Homes & Lot," Fridays and Saturdays, 1888 forward, later called "Real Estate News" on Saturdays. Look at Saturday's and Sunday's papers; these columns tended to list a week's transactions.
- For more recent transactions, Edward's Abstracts lists sales and names. There is an incomplete set, beginning in 1906-07, in the History Room. A set at Sutro begins in 1896; you ask the librarian for the year(s) you want but you have to be precise--s/he won't bring out enough volumes for you to go fishing.
- The McEnerney judgments will give you the immediate past owner prior to the events of 1906. These were actual legal cases (John Doe vs. all persons), filed to establish title after 1906. They list the then owner and the person from whom he bought. The McEnerneys are in the County Clerk's office, City Hall. The indexes (where you find your McEnerney number) are at the rear of the Recorder's Office. Some books are labeled "McEnerney,' others by the neighborhood, others "Sales." The History Room has Anne Bloomfield's "Index" to 1906-13 Sales Ledgers" which will give you the book and page number for all subdivisions and homesteads in San Francisco. You need your old block number to make these books work; the page number is the block number. Subsequent McEnerney filings are in the General Indexes (microfilm) in the Recorder's office or (easier) in Edward's Abstracts.
- In 1866 an Act of Congress allowed San Francisco to award title to the "outside lands" for the first time in the city's history. These "outside lands" were roughly west of Divisadero (into the Sunset and Richmond) and in the Mission and Potrero districts. The Municipal Reports for 1870-71 (History Room) lists these awards. For the most part they were for large tracts of land, but they quite often signaled the beginning of subdivision. You'll probably have to do some more title searching before you get from the large tract to your particular block and lot. Do not be discouraged by the apparent complexity of the above. Finding your sale (after you have the water connection date) is usually fairly simple, the Real Estate Circular to the News Letter, or just Edward's Abstracts or the newspapers.
The Architect:
- For pre-1900 buildings: California Architect & Building News (1879-1900); microfilm, History Room. Ask for them by year (the water connection year). These monthly newsletters gave accounts of construction based on building contracts for buildings small or large. If you are lucky enough to find your building, there will be a lot of information, including names, cost, etc. Look for pictures. There's an index to architects by John Snyder.
- The newspapers. See number 8. Most of the newspapers listed only sales and building contracts but the Examiner often named the architect. There was good post1906 coverage in the Call (particularly) and the Examiner. Look for pictures. In the early years of this century large tracts of land were developed West of Twin Peaks, so keep your eyes open for the name of your subdivision: Westwood Park, Miraloma Park, Ingleside, etc.
- Post-1906: go to the Building Permit office, 450 McAllister, third floor, and ask for a copy of the first building permit, all pages. It takes a couple of days; is about $4 (?). These permits (on microfiche) are not always labeled or filed in order; carefully check the location, XX feet from YY street, to make sure it's your building. You can't look at the permits yourself, but sometimes when there's a misfiring a gracious clerk will make a search for you. Also ask to view original architectural drawings that may have been submitted with the building permit. (You'll need owner's permission to obtain copies.)
- If you can't find your building permit, or if you want more information than the building permit gives, the Daily Pacific Builder listed building permits contracts, completion notices, and the name of the architect. These are on microfilm, History Room, Main Library for 1907 through 1912. Periodicals, Main Library has them to 1964. Search them around the time of your water connection. Houses were built quickly in the early years, sometimes in a couple of months. Read forward and back: sometimes the water was connected before the house was built or completed. The Building News section of Edward's Abstracts also listed building permits (not all years), building contracts, completion notices, etc.
- Architect & Engineer (1905-45), later Western Architect & Engineer (to 1961), Art & Music Dept., Library, separate index by Gary Goss for 1905-28. (Art, History Room) These were monthly magazines with building information, generally buildings done by architects of note of the day. Look for pictures.
- The Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage (Heritage) has files on architects and on areas of the city it has surveyed. Heritage is at 2007 Franklin Street, but call first for an appointment: 441-3000.
Sanborn Maps
- These are in the History Room (microfilm, may be copied). Do this step fairly early in the process. 'These maps begin in 1886 but not for all parts of the city. They were designed for fire and insurance purposes, and work by taking a base year and pasting on changes to "update' it. Ask for Ed Michael's big green book on the Sanborns, and find the first year to show your block, plus the reel, volume and page number. Check the title page on the map itself to find the base year, and then a page or two after for the handwritten notations on the update. Sanborn maps were color-coded; yellow (which appears colorless on the microfilm) was a frame building; red was brick, etc. Only the 1905 Sanborn microfilm is in color. The maps show the footprint of the building, plus the number of stories; 2BA means two stories, basement and attic. "S" is store, "Sal" saloon. "A" alone is auto; PC and BC are patent and brick chimneys. It is best to make copies of these maps for studying alterations. There's a post World War 11 Sanborn at Heritage, a 1970S one in the Recorder's, a fairly up-to-date one in the Assessor's. You ought to be able to describe alterations to the building by using the Sanborn maps alone (and by visual inspection), but if you need to you might ask for subsequent building permits.
The Census
- Flesh out your owners (or occupants if it is rental property) through the U.S. censuses. These were taken every 10 years although the one for 1890 burned. The 1920 census is the last one available for viewing at this time. 'The National Archives in San Bruno (1000 Commodore Drive, phone: 876-9001) has a good set of censuses, including the 1920 one, and an easy reference system, but this library tends to be crowded. The censuses in San Francisco (including 1920) are in Science & Documents in the Main Library, but Sutro Library is best because it has indexes for 1860 and 1870 and the Soundex system for finding your person in other years. (Sutro does not yet have the 1920 census.) The Soundex is fairly easy to use, but ask for help the first time. The 1880 Soundex lists only those households with children up to 10 years of age; thereafter all households are listed. Later censuses were by streets, but the 1870 census shows Ward 12, for instance, stretching from Larkin Street to the ocean and gives no addresses. If you use the censuses in the Main Library you will need the ward and precinct numbers which are found in a black binder in the History Room. The censuses are well worth looking up because, in various years, there was information such as birth place, age (not always accurate), occupation, parents' birth place, owner or renter, value of property, how many children born, how many living, conditions such as "insanity," etc. Check other households on your block. Be sure to note the date the census was taken.
- The Great Register of Voters (History Room,- very incomplete set, ages not accurate) may also flesh out your owner and his neighbors. California women were given the right to vote in 1911. When using the later Registers, find your precinct number in a black binder in the same free-standing book shelf.
Other Steps
- The Here Today files, plus various miscellany the library has added are in the History Room, listed by streets, but use with caution: they are not always accurate. The same caution applies to neighborhood accounts such as those by Anita Day Hubbard and Edward Morphy, and to any oral history you may find. The History Room also has files on neighborhoods. The Real Estate Circular is good for "color" in the early days, and there are a number of standard histories, plus accounts of businesses and businessmen, all in the History Room. It has traditionally been transit lines that opened up sections of town to development. Bion Arnold's report on proposed post-1906 transit improvements (History Room) has a good summary of San Francisco transit. If your building is in a homestead association subdivision look in City Directories, circa 1870, for descriptions of the various associations.
- Try the newspaper indexes and the California Information File (Periodicals, Main Library; Sutro) under the name of your developer, owner, architect, the subdivision, or today's name for your part of town. There are a number of indexes for different years. You might want to check the newspapers at the time your building was built to find out what was going on in San Francisco and the world, and to place your building in its context.
- The History Room has a good selection of maps. The Coast Survey maps are particularly helpful in locating buildings in the early days. Wackenreuder's 1861 map and Humphrey's 1870 map both identify owners in the outside lands. Finally, do a photo search, at least at the History Room.
If you want to do a complete title search (post-1906), use first the sales ledgers in the
Recorder's office and then the 'black box" in the Assessor's office. As of early 1995 the
following offices had been removed to:
- County Clerk - 875 Stevenson, Rm. 100, lst floor
- Assessor's - 875 Stevenson, 3rd floor
- Recorder's - 875 Stevenson, lst floor
- Dept. of Public Works: Building Permits - 1660 Mission, near Otis, rear of Ist floor
- The phone numbers are the same as they were.
How to find your sale from just after the 1906 earthquake to 1914:
(See "How to Research Your San Francisco Building.")
Get your water connection date from the Water Department. This should narrow the date of purchase, although some properties were bought some time before construction began. Check the Block Books for 1906 and c. 1910 (History Room) for the owner of your lot. Be sure to note the part of town your lot is in.
Edward's Abstracts. These list the names of the grantor (seller) to grantee (buyer), property description and price. ($10 was used to disguise the actual sales price.) An incomplete set is in the History Room a complete set at Sutro. Search prior to the water connection date for a record of your sale. Check the name in City Directories to see if he/she actually lived there. If you find that someone other than your first owner-occupant built your building, search after the water connection date for the sale. Or: Sales records for 1906-14 are in large books at the rear of the Recorder's Office. The ones to the left are the McEnerney judgments. Thee sales records are arranged alphabetically by the part of town: Homesteads, Mission, Outside Lands in Acres, Richmond, Western Addition, etc. You need the old block number (found in the Block Book) to make these books work; the page number is the block number. If your property is in a Homestead or the Outside Lands check Anne Bloomfield's index to sales (History Room) to find what book it is in. Some McEnemey judgments are in the sales books. If you find an entry which simply describes the property but gives no grantor to grantee you have a McEnemey judgment, not a sale.
Or: Look in the General Indexes on microfilm for your sale. (Recorder's Office.) These are in the circular file near the Map Books. The are arranged alphabetically by year, under both grantor and grantee. In some years they are arranged by the first two letters of the name; for instance, Mr. Rochester will be filed under a section under "R" beginning "Ro." These records will give you the grantor and grantee and also the book and page number where you'll find the actual deed. If you want to look at the actual deed it's best to ask for help in locating it because older deeds are stored in the work area closed to the public. The clerk needs the book and page numbers. The Recorder's Office has copying machines. Beginning in 1914, a list of the sales records are on microfiche in the Assessor's Office. Ask for the black box. You need your block and lot numbers to make these work. If your property had not been laid out in blocks by 1914 look at the rear of the box for transactions for Outside Lands in Acres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Supprt questions can be asked in the plugin support forum.
This looks like Tumblr!
The idea comes actually from this page and people from a popular microblogging platform Tumblr have used it on their blogs as well. I have taken the idea further, creating a plugin that is differnt in many ways.
How can I change default size of archive?
Open style-archive.css for editing. This is the main file for styling information. First element .snazzy describes the main container.
Height attribute is the height of archive, remove the line if you want full height. Same applies to width. If the archive can not fit in the container, scrollbars will be shown like on the picture.
Also you can enable special effect 1 in your plugin options, this will create a so called carousel effect that will further save space.
How do I change the height and width of the posts and pictures?
Just edit the width of .sz_cont element and height of .sz_img element and notice the change immediately.
How can I show archives full screen like you do?
First create a new empty template file, for example snazzy.php, Then just include header and Snazzy archive call, not the sidebar.Then upload snazzy.php to your theme folder and create a new page on your blog using this template (write page and select this template instead of the default; the option for template is found below the post).
Here is how can one such file look like:
Template Name: Snazzy Archives
<?php get_header(); ?>
<p align="center">
<?php if (isset($SnazzyArchives)) echo $SnazzyArchives->display(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
How do I edit and add layouts?
Layouts are stored in files snazzy-layout-1.php, snazzy-layout-2.php and so on.. Edit these fles or make your own using the available variables
- $first_for_day - is the comment first for given day, used usually for additional clearance
- $title - post title
- $excerpt - post excerpt
- $comcount - number of comments
- $imageurl - url of the post image
- $youtubeurl - url of the video (without http://)
- $day, $month, $year - date of post
How do I set carousel options?
Options for carousel (special effect #1) can be found in snazzy-archives.js.php file. You can set how many elements are visible at once (variable visible) and if you change width of the items in your CSS file, do not forget to change it here as well - option def_width (add 16px for default padding).
How can I contribute?
You can create your own custom layouts and special effects! Send them to me for inclusion in future versions. Also you can send your feedback, bug reports and suggestions.

The fountain is built of stone and formed by an arch set between two pillars, a frieze and a pediment. The year 1675 may refer to the date when it was rebuilt, as the work itself is older. It is popularly known by various names, such as "the Santiago fountain", "the pilgrim's fountain" or "the fountain of the Way". After a complete restoration it was opened on 18 December 1986.

BALTIMORE – The first three batters in the Retriever order combined to go 7-for-13, score six runs, and drive in six more as the UMBC baseball team pounded out 13 hits and drew 12 walks en route to a 17-5 victory over Delaware State, Wednesday evening in non-conference action at Alumni Field.
Lead-off batter Andrew Casali (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) collected the first three-hit game of his career, while also drawing two walks, and scoring two runs. Junior Vince Corbi (Medford, N.J./Shawnee) and freshman Hunter Dolshun (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley), the 2- and 3-spot hitters, also picked up multi-hit games for UMBC (7-18), with Dolshun also driving in three runs. Junior Jake Barnes (Annandale, Va./Annadale) went 2-for-4 with two singles and two walks to knock in three runs.
Junior Bobby Applegate (Somerdale, N.J./Sterling/Gloucester County College) came out of the pen and worked 2.2 innings to earn the win. The right-hander (1-2) allowed just one unearned run while striking out five in the outing.
Starter KT Thomas (0-1) took the loss for Delaware State (15-11) after surrendering four unearned runs in the bottom of the second before being lifted with two outs. The Hornets went on to use seven more pitchers in the three and-a-half hour game.
Mike Alexander paced the Hornet offense with a 4-for-5 day at the plate while three other Delaware State hitters registered multi-hit games.
Delaware State opened the scoring in the top of the first on an RBI-single by Cameron Cecil. The Hornets went on to load the bases with no outs against UMBC starter Shane Vlasic (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run), but the veteran righty struck out back-to-back hitters, and then induced a ground out to limit the damage. Vlasic lasted 4.1 innings and gave UMBC a chance to win by holding the visitors to four runs on ten hits. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.
UMBC left the bases loaded as well in the bottom of the first, but broke through in the second with four unearned runs. With two down, Corbi hit a grounder to short, but the play could not be made, allowing senior D.J. Smith (Millersville, Md./Old Mill) to score from third. The Retrievers made the most of the opportunity as Dolshun smacked a single to center to drive in freshman Conor Hax (Bowie, Md./Bishop McNamara), give UMBC the lead, and extend his hit streak to 14 games. Two batters later, Barnes laced a single to left, chasing around Corbi and Dolshun, and pushing the lead to 4-1.
The Hornets got one back in the top of the third as Ron Farley stroked a two-out single to center to bring in Cecil.
Casali restored the three-run lead in the home half as the freshman lashed a single to left to score Smith who had led off the inning with a double high off of the left-centerfield wall. Barnes added to the lead in the bottom of the fourth with a single to center, bringing sophomore Kevin Lachance (Clifton, Va./Centreville) around from second.
Delaware State cut the lead to two, 6-4, in the top of the fifth, and then drew within one in the next inning as Alexander pulled a single through the left side to score Cameron Onderko.
The Retrievers answered with three runs in the bottom half as Smith drew a bases-loaded walk, sophomore Jesse Smith (Mechanicsville, Va./Lee-Davis) followed by beating out an infield single, and Hax brought in sophomore Manny Colon (Williamstown, N.J./Buena Regional) on a fielder's choice.
Applegate sent the Hornets down in order in the seventh and the Retrievers erupted for eight runs in the bottom half of the inning. Casali and Corbi recorded back-to-back RBI singles before Dolshun ripped a 2-RBI double down the left field line. Lachance capped the inning by driving a sac fly to right, as Corbi came in to score from third.
The Retriever bullpen did the rest from there, keeping Delaware State of the board as the teams split the two-game season series.
UMBC heads to New York for the second straight weekend as the Retrievers take on Albany for a three-game set starting on Saturday.
- UMBC snaps a three-game losing streak to Delaware State and pushes its lead in the all-time series to 16-10. The Hornets had previously defeated the Retrievers, 16-9, on April 1 in the first meeting between the two clubs since 2002.
- The game was the longest nine-inning game of the season for the Retrievers.
- UMBC drew five walks in the bottom of the sixth inning.
- The Retrievers last scored 17 runs on March 16, 2012 in a 17-8 win over Coppin State.
- UMBC pitchers struck out a season-best 12 batters.
- In addition to his hit streak, Dolshun has reached base safely in 19 straight games.
