3-31-08
CALDWELL,
N.J. - The Caldwell College baseball team is ranked fourth in the
latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Northeast
Regional Poll, released today. The Cougars, who moved up a spot from
fifth in last week's poll, received 51 points this week, while
Franklin Pierce University received all nine first-place votes to
remain atop the poll for the sixth straight week.
Last week Caldwell went 3-2 as the Cougars began their Central
Atlantic Collegiate Conference schedule. After a 3-0 loss at Post
University on Mar. 25, Caldwell evened its conference record with a
7-1 victory over Felician College on Mar. 27. Then on Friday, junior
Eric Hines (Milltown, NJ/Spotswood) pitched all 10 innings in
a 2-1 extra-inning victory over Adelphi University, ranked fifth in
this week's poll. The Cougars wrapped up the week by splitting a
doubleheader with Felician on Saturday. Caldwell's starting pitching
has been solid lately, as the starters posted an earned run average
of 1.73 while striking out 44 in 36 1/3 innings last week.
This week the Cougars play eight CACC contests, beginning with a
doubleheader at Nyack College on Tuesday, Apr. 1.
