CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College junior Ray Keelan (Barnegat,
NJ/Southern Regional) was selected the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference
Baseball Player of the Week for the week ending Apr. 26, the league
announced Monday. Keelan batted .600 with four doubles, three home
runs, 11 runs and 18 runs batted in as the Cougars went 5-1 last
week.
Keelan racked up three hits in each of Caldwell's five wins,
beginning with a three-game sweep of the University of the Sciences
Friday and Saturday. He started the winning streak by going 3-for-5
with four RBI and a two-run double in an 18-7 victory on Friday. In
Saturday's doubleheader with the Devils, Keelan was 6-for-9 with
four runs and eight RBI, including a double and a three-run homer in
the first game of the sweep. Then on Sunday against Bloomfield
College, he helped Caldwell sweep another doubleheader with six
hits, five runs and six RBI. In the second game with the Cougars
trailing 5-1 in the top of the seventh, Keelan followed a three-run
homer by senior Jorge Torres (Coral Springs, NJ/Taravella)
with a solo shot to tie the score and send the game into extra
innings. Then in the top of the eighth, he blasted a three-run home
run in a six-run inning that gave Caldwell an 11-5 win.
Through 36 games this season, Keelan is batting .390 with 53 hits,
eight home runs and 45 RBI to lead the Cougars and rank among the
conference leaders in those categories.
