College of Charleston 4, Delaware 1: The University of Delaware baseball team’s spirited post-season run ended Saturday morning as the Blue Hens were eliminated from the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament, falling to No. 13 ranked and top-seeded College of Charleston at The Ballpark at Patriots Point.

Charleston starter Hayden McCutcheon put together the longest and best start of his career as the righty tossed a complete game six-hitter and the only run he surrendered was unearned.

“We put together a great run down here and I am very proud of these guys,” said University of Delaware head coach Jim Sherman. “Charleston’s pitcher was fantastic today, but we had our share of great pitching recently. I loved how we focused and played well down the stretch this season.”

Delaware made its deepest run into the CAA Tournament since the 2012 squad advanced to the championship game before falling to UNCW.

On Saturday, both teams went scoreless in the first two inning, but Charleston took the lead with a two-run third. The Cougars recorded their first run when UD (26-24) starting pitcher Taylor Mahoney balked. Charleston then added to its lead on a Bradley Jones RBI single.

The Cougars (43-12) extended their margin to three runs on a Carl Wise RBI triple in the fifth. Erven Roper then supplied Charleston’s fourth run of the game on an RBI double in the sixth inning.

Delaware’s lone run came when Diaz Nardo led off the eighth inning with a double down the left field line and eventually scored from third on a passed ball.

Greg Olenski posted UD’s second extra-base hit of the contest with a two-out double in the ninth inning, but Tyler Powell popped up to the first baseman in foul territory to end the game and the season for the Blue Hens.

Delaware’s pitching was again strong Saturday as Mahoney made his first start of the season and the southpaw allowed three earned runs on six hits in 5.1 innings of work. Luke Alicknavitch pitched 3.1 innings of relief and surrendered just one hit while registering three strikeouts.

Olenski led the Blue Hens with two hits in the contest, while four other Delaware batters posted one hit each.

Brock Niggebrugge and Adam Davis made the most of their final games with the Blue Hens as the duo was named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association Tournament team.

Niggebrugge, who started all five games in the tournament, posted a .462 batting average with two runs scored and one RBI. The shortstop was also a reliable defensive presence for the Hens during the tournament and throughout the season..

Davis saved his best performance for last as the senior captain tossed a complete game five-hitter in Delaware’s 3-1 victory over William & Mary on Thursday. The third team All-CAA selection also struck out six batters to earn his sixth win of the season and prolong the Delaware season.
