In the 3-1 setback a day earlier at M.J. Siegel field, freshman right-hander Sean Parrow gave up three earned runs, yielding four walks and struck out six.
Jonny Hagopian went three string innings, striking out four.
Nelson, Delgado and UC San Diego-bound Julian Areliz each had a hit for the Trailblazers.
