 PARSIPPANY,
N.J. - Senior outfielder Hasani Whitfield (Briarwood,
NY/Molloy) hit a pair of home runs as the Caldwell College baseball
team defeated Nyack College, 17-7 in the first game of a Central
Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader Wednesday afternoon at
Smith Field. The second game was halted due to darkness in the fifth
inning with the Cougars leading 7-1. The game will be resumed at Smith
Field on Monday, Apr. 18 at 3:30 p.m.
The Cougars (10-14, 4-3 CACC) scored five runs in the first inning
before Whitfield hit a two-run homer in the second to give Caldwell a
7-4 lead. But three unearned runs in the top of the third inning
allowed Nyack (6-11, 3-6 CACC) to tie the game at 7-7. Senior Ryan
McGee (Cedarhurst, NY/Lawrence) put the Cougars ahead for good
with a two-out solo home run in the bottom of the third. Junior
Nick Mauro (Nutley, NJ/Nutley) hit a two-run homer in the fourth
inning, his first of the season, then Whitfield left the yard for the
second time on the day and fifth time this year in the sixth inning, a
three-run shot.
Whitfield, who is batting .437 on the season to lead Caldwell, went
2-for-3 with five runs batted in and three runs scored. McGee had
three hits and two RBI on the day, while Mauro, seniors Mike
Kolesar (New City, NY/Clarkstown North) and Fadul Bambino
(Astoria, NY/Queensborough CC) and sophomore Andy Chunn (Lewes,
DE/Cape Henlopen) each had two hits.
Starter Derek York (Lanoka Harbor, NJ/Lacey Twp) gave up seven
runs (three earned) and seven hits in the first three innings, but
allowed just two hits after that to earn the victory and improve to
2-2.
The Cougars host Post University in a CACC game on Friday, Apr. 15.
The first pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Smith Field.
