DOVER, DE -- The torrential rain that pelted the region Thursday kept Delaware State and Hampton off the scoreboard -- at least until the third and fourth quarters.
Hampton's Javaris Brown and Antwon Chisholm struck for touchdowns in the fourth to help propel the Pirates to a 20-14 victory over the Hornets in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game in front of a couple of hundred hardy, rain-soaked fans at Alumni Stadium.
It is the first time DSU has started the season 0-4 since head coach Al Lavan's first season in 2004.
