4-28-06
CC 4, DC 1
 PARSIPPANY,
N.J. - Freshman pitcher Stephen Pfeil (Hampstead, NH/Pinherton
Academy) tossed a complete game and allowed one run to guide the
Caldwell College baseball team to a 4-1 win over Dominican College
Friday afternoon at Schafer Field. The Cougars improve to 18-21
overall and 11-10 in the CACC after handing first-place Dominican
(34-13, 21-3 CACC) just its third conference defeat.
The only run off of Pfeil came in the second inning, when Tom Keegan
homered to left field. The Cougars responded in the top of the third
inning with a pair of runs to take a 2-1 lead. Sophomores Chris
Chiarappa (Elmont, NY/Holy Trinity) and Joe Hydro
(Flemington, NJ/Immaculata) both walked to lead off the inning. After
sophomore Tommy Murphy (Monroe, NY/Washingtonville) bunted the runners
to second and third, a groundout by junior Billy Ryan (Toms River,
NJ/Manchester) scored Chiarappa to tie the game. Hydro then scored on
an RBI single by senior Landon Viessy (Oakland Gardens, NY/Cardozo)
to give Caldwell the lead.
Chiarappa's sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth that scored
freshman Jorge Torres (Coral Springs, FL/Taravella) extended
the lead to 3-1. The Cougars took a three-run advantage in the top of
the seventh on an RBI single from sophomore Eric Theiss (Deer
Park, NY/Deer Park). Viessy went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI to
lead Caldwell at the plate, while Theiss was 2 for 4 on the day.
Pfeil scattered 10 hits over his nine innings of work, never allowing
more than two hits in an inning. He also struck out a career-high nine
batters while walking none to improve to 5-4 on the season. Tommy
Mejia (7-1) gave up seven hits and four runs in 7 2/3 innings to take
the loss, his first of the season.
The Cougars and Chargers will play a doubleheader at Smith Field on
Saturday, Apr. 29, beginning at 12:00 p.m.
