The George Mason baseball team was unable to get in the win column on Sunday afternoon as the Patriots dropped their third-straight game at Delaware as the Patriots lost in extra innings for the second time in the series, falling to the Blue Hens, 5-4 in 10 innings.

The Patriots took a 4-2 lead into the eighth but the Blue Hens scored twice then added the winning run in the tenth to complete the sweep of Mason. The Patriots fell behind 2-0 as Delaware scored an unearned run in the first and an earned run in the third. The first run came when DJ Long singled, went to third on a failed pickoff attempt and scored on a Steve Ulaky sacrifice fly. In the third, Jimmy Yezzo doubled and scored on a Dave Anderson single.

The Patriots tied the score in the fourth when Nick Allen walked, Jeremy Haas reached on an error, a balk moved the runners along and Allen scored on a Jordan Hill ground out. Blaise Fernandez made it 2-2 on a double to center. Mason took the lead in the fifth when Allen doubled, took third on a Haas single and scored on a double steal. The Patriots made it 4-2 in the seventh when Dan Schafferman singled, went to third on a Shane Davis single and scored on a Zack Helgeson grounder.

After pitching seven innings and allowing just one earned run, Mason starter A.J. Johnson gave way to Jake Kalish . The Blue Hens got to him in the eighth as Ulaky reached on a two-out fielder's choice, prompting another pitching change. Brandon Kuter came on and the first batter he faced was Aaron Mascoe, who singled. Hank Yates followed with a single to score Ulaky and Alex Mottle added a base hit to bring home Mascoe with the tying run,

In the tenth, Ulaky doubled to lead off the inning and went to third on wild pitch. Kuter intentionally walked Mascoe and Yates to set up a force play at home but Mottle drew a four-pitch walk to end the contest at 5-4.

Mason stranded runners in seven of the 10 innings and left 35 on base in the three-game series. Fernandez, Haas and Schafferman each had two hits for the Patriots who will look to snap their five-game winless streak on Wednesday when they play at N.C. State at 3 p.m.
