COUGARS REMAIN AT NO. 3 IN NCAA REGIONAL BASEBALL POLL

5-3-07
CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College baseball team stayed at No. 3 in this week's Division II Northeast Region Poll released Wednesday by the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee. The Cougars (22-10), who also are ranked seventh in the region by the National College Baseball Writers Association, have clinched at least a share of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference regular-season title with an 11-4 record in conference play.

Caldwell, coached by Chris Reardon, were 4-2 last week, splitting doubleheaders with Felician College and Philadelphia University and picking up regional wins over Concordia College and Dominican College. Then on Monday, the Cougars defeated defending CACC champion Dominican in a conference game, 8-7 to ensure the program's first regular-season crown since 2003. Freshman Adric Saxon (Coral Springs, FL/Broward, CC) singled home the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth, then fellow frosh Robert Casal (Howard Beach, NY/St. Francis Prep) retired the side in order in the top of the ninth for the win.

The Cougars can wrap up the league title outright with a win today at Post University. The game is set to start at 4:00 p.m. at Municipal Stadium in Waterbury, Conn.
