Season concludes with series finale Saturday

NEWARK, Del. –The Delaware baseball team dropped a 5-0 decision to the College of Charleston Friday night at Bob Hannah Stadium.

The loss, combined with other results across the Colonial Athletic Association, eliminates the Blue Hens (21-32, 9-14 CAA) from contention for the CAA Championship. The Cougars improve to 35-19 on the year and 15-8 in CAA play.

Sophomore Jordan Hutchins' single up the middle to lead off the seventh inning broke up a Charleston no-hitter. Cougars' starter Griffin McLarty threw 6.0 hitless and scoreless frames on 89 pitches, but was relieved before the seventh.

Sophomore right-hander Chris Ludman got the start on the mound for the Blue Hens, delivering 7.1 solid innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. Ludman struck out seven batters, his second-highest total of the season, and allowed just one walk.

Senior center fielder Kevin Mohollen, who drew a pair of walks in the contest, advanced to third base in the first inning after a steal and a wild pitch, but was stranded there before Charleston captured the lead in the second inning and never looked back.

The series concludes Saturday at Bob Hannah Stadium with first pitch scheduled for noon and the Blue Hens will honor their seniors prior to the start of play.
