Darien’s 165-167 loss to Trumbull ended the Blue Waves’s regular season streak without a loss at 24 matches on Wednesday.

The Blue Wave’s last loss was at Trumbull in the 2010 season.  Following that loss, the Blue Wave won the last two regular season matches and  then went 17-0-1 in 2011 and started this season 5-0 before losing at Trumbull. It was the longest win streak for Boys Golf on record at DHS.

The Blue Wave rebounded with a win over Ludlowe in their next match on Thursday to move to 6-1 on the season.

“We have a gotten off to a good start record wise but we have not played any of the top four teams in the league yet,” Darien coach Tom O’Donnell said. “We will have to score a lot better if we hope to compete with those teams this season.  The good news is that the boys are working hard on their short games as well as their course and self-management. I think our best golf is still ahead of us.”

Lopez pitched two scoreless innings with five strikeouts, and Jones pitched two innings allowing one run with four strikeouts. New Canaan led 9-4 after two innings and won 12-5.

In the first playoff game on Sunday in a steady rain, the Fury jumped out to a 3-0 lead as Abate led off with a single, stole second and scored on a single by Burger. Jones walked, stole second and scored on a wild pitch. Burger stole second and scored on a ground out. Jones pitched two scoreless innings with two strikeouts.

New Canaan was in good position to make a run at the tournament championship as its pitching was set up nicely. However, the rain intensified and cancelled the rest of the game along with the remainder of the tournament.
