 BROOKVALE, N.Y. - The Caldwell College baseball team lost a
heartbreaker to C.W. Post University, 7-6 in a non-conference game
Tuesday afternoon. The loss dropped the Cougars to 9-14 on the season,
while the Pioneers improved to 8-7.
After taking a 2-1 lead, the Cougars surrendered five runs in the
bottom of the sixth to trail 6-2 heading into the seventh. Senior
Mike Kolesar (New City, NY/Clarkstown North) began the comeback in
the top of the seventh inning with a single. Then with Kolesar on
third and senior Joe Catenacci (Helmetta, NJ/Spotswood) on
second, senior Ryan McGee (Cedarhurst, NY/Lawrence) singled
home both runners to cut the deficit to 6-4. Later in the inning,
sophomore Andy Chunn (Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen)
(pictured) had a bases-loaded one-out single that scored McGee and senior
Hasani Whitfield (Briarwood, NY/Molloy) to tie the game and
complete the comeback. Whitfield went 3-for-5 for the day to lead the
Cougar offense.
But the Pioneers would get the upper hand in the bottom of the ninth,
when a two-out single by Chris Caputo allowed Mike Sylvester to score
the game-winning run.
The Cougars return to action on Wednesday, Apr. 13 with a Central
Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader against Nyack College.
Game time is set for 3:00 p.m. at Smith Field.
