NEWARK, NJ, September 12-The Pennsylvania Road Warriors scored twice in the first inning and defeated the Newark Bears, 2-1, in the nightcap of a doubleheader Friday night at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium, earning a split of the twin bill. Newark had won the opener, 2-1.

With two outs and no one on base in the first inning, the Road Warriors loaded the bases against Bears starter Andy Hazlett and then scored their two runs on Omar Rosario's two-run single to left field.

Hazlett, in his first start of the season, was the hard-luck loser. Hazlett (1-3) pitched a season-high five innings, allowing 2 runs and 5 hits. He struck out five batters and walked one. Matt McClellan tossed two scoreless innings in relief.

Newark scored their lone run in the fourth inning on a Pete Maestrales sacrifice fly. Pennsylvania relievers Micah Mangrum (2-3) and Mike Perkins (4th save) set down the final nine Bears batters in order to close out the game.

The Bears won the opener of the doubleheader, 2-1, as Alberto Castillo (7-8) tossed six strong innings, allowing only one unearned run. Reggie Harris left the bases loaded in the ninth inning to earn his 8th save of the season.

Former New Jersey Devils defenseman Ken Daneyko will make his professional baseball debut Saturday night when he suits up for the Bears in their 6:05 PM start against the Road Warriors.
