BOSTON – The University of Delaware baseball team fell in a Saturday doubleheader to the hands of Northeastern.

Game One
A pair of freshmen made big impacts in Saturday's opener as Aidan Kane put the Blue Hens in front early with a solo home run in the second inning, the first of his career, and Wyatt Nelson worked 6.0 innings, allowing just one earned run and didn't surrender a hit until the fourth innings.

Junior Joseph Carpenter stayed red-hot, going 2-for-4, along with senior Jack Goan.

The Huskies were able to tie the game in the fourth inning and scraped across a run in both the sixth and the seventh to take the first game of the afternoon.

Game Two
The Huskies jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after the first inning and extended it to 7-0 after a four-run second inning.

The Blue Hens were able to put up a crooked number in the third inning via a three-run blast by Goan. Goan had four RBI in the game.

The hole would be too much as Northeastern would sweep the series.

Freshman Joey Loynd was able to pick up a pair of hits in four trips and Carpenter was able to extend his hit streak to six games.

Delaware stays on the road in the CAA, traveling to Hofstra next weekend for another four-game set with the Pride beginning Friday at 3 p.m.
