CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College baseball team opens play at the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament on Thursday, May 8 at 12:00 p.m. with a first-round game against Dominican College at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, Del. The Cougars, who tied with Philadelphia University for the CACC regular-season crown, are the No. 2 seed in the tournament after finishing with a 19-8 conference record (29-17 overall). Earlier this season, Caldwell and third-seeded Dominican (26-23, 18-9 CACC) played three times, with the Cougars winning twice.

The double-elimination tournament begins with three games on Thursday at Frawley Stadium, with top-seeded Philadelphia and No. 4 Felician College following the Cougars-Chargers game at 3:00 p.m. The loser's of Thursday's first two games will play an elimination game at 6:00 p.m. The tournament moves to Wilson Field, near Wilmington College, on Friday with games at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., then back to Frawley Stadium on Saturday for the championship game at 11:00 a.m. If a second game is necessary on Saturday, it will be played at Wilson Field at 3:00 p.m.
