BASEBALL ROLLS PAST POST UNIVERSITY

Orangeburg, NY (4/14/09)  The Dominican College baseball team completed the season series sweep over Post University this afternoon after defeating the host Eagles, 10-0 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) action.

DC scored runs in the first four innings to take a 9-0 lead.  A sacrifice fly ball to left field by right fielder Dan Robinson (Massapequa, NY) brought in Armando Alvarez (Miami, FL) who had reached base on a one out single to center to take a 1-0 lead.  In the second an RBI double by center fielder Jason Berrios (Brooklyn, NY) gave Dominican a 2-0 advantage.

The offense continued as they put three more runs on the board in the third inning as sophomore Michael Munoz (Bronx, NY) led things off with an RBI triple and third baseman Willie Mann (Patterson, NY) later followed with a one-out RBI single to center field.  An RBI ground out by shortstop Mario Lopez (Anthony, NM) increased the Charger lead to 5-0.

In the fourth Dominican tallied four runs on two hits and took advantage of two Eagle errors.  An RBI double to left field by Alvarez platted the first run of the inning and later Alvarez came in to score as Robinson reached on a Post error.  Munoz, who had reached on a single to right field took advantage of Post throw to score a run and Robert Iglesias (Mays Landing, NJ) followed by reaching base on the second error of the inning, which allowed Robinson to score.

An RBI ground out by freshman Cody Smith (Wales, WI) ended the scoring for the Chargers as they cruised to the 10-0 victory.

Senior Brian Craig (Shenandoah, PA) picked up the win in seven innings of work, allowing just one run and tied his season high of 12 strikeouts to improve to 4-2.  Junior Chris Perrin (Oakville, CT) pitched the eighth and Joe Zaccaro (Washingtonville, NY) came in to pitch the ninth complete the shut out victory.
