Baseball Strikes Early; Caldwell Comes Back for Sweep

CALDWELL, N.J. – The Holy Family University baseball scored in the first inning of both games, only for Caldwell to come back for 10-12 and 5-9 wins over the Tigers on Tuesday.
 
Individual Highlights
  • Marc Garcia (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville Area Senior (Keystone College)) reached at least three times in both contests, finishing the doubleheader 4-for-6 with three walks, three RBI, a double and a run
  • Luke Shahin (Ajax, Ontario/Archbishop Denis O'Connor(Augusta University)) had multiple hits in both games, going 4-for-7 with two walks, two runs and two RBI
  • Brian Comer (Charlotte, N.C./Independence (Bucks County CC)) went 3-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run, his first homer as a Tiger, a double, two runs, two RBI and a walk in the opener
 
How it Happened
Game One
  • HFU scored twice in each of its first two at-bats, as Comer led off the doubleheader with his inside the parker before driving in another in the second, but Caldwell responded with three runs in the bottom-half both times, and the Tigers could never cut the deficit back to one
  • This was despite Holy Family advancing the tying run into scoring position in the ninth
    • Trailing 8-12, Stefan Leo (Golden, Colo./Golden Senior (Porterville CC)) led off with a walk and after the first out, Comer singled
    • Shahin made it a three-run game with a sacrifice fly, and Nick Lombardo (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Dublin (Bucks County CC)) singled to bring the tying run to the plate
    • Garcia extended the contest with an RBI single and then stole second, but the Cougars were able to get the final out 
Game Two
  • Holy Family took advantage of two errors to open the scoring, but Caldwell plated three in the bottom-half yet again 
  • The Tigers got as close as 3-4 in the fourth when Garcia and Jalen David (Bronx, N.Y./St. Raymond) manufactured runs with stolen bases, but the Cougars were quick to respond, cancelling out the two runs in the bottom-half
  • HFU brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh, with five of the first six Tigers reaching, but the Cougars escaped again for the sweep
