NEW CASTLE, Del. - The Caldwell College baseball team dropped a pair of Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference games at Wilmington College, 3-0 and 13-3, Sunday afternoon at Wilson Field. The sweep gives the Wildcats a 17-13 overall record and a 9-2 mark in the CACC, while the Cougars fall to 9-14, 3-5 CACC.

In the first game, Wilmington scored all the runs they would need in the second and third innings. Mike Mundy had a two-run single in the bottom of the second, followed by Garry Wright's RBI single in the third to give the Wildcats a 3-0 lead. Wilmington's Bret Urban scattered four hits while striking out seven to earn the complete-game shutout. Senior Derek York (Lanoka Harbor, NJ/Lacey Twp.) went the distance for Caldwell, allowing seven hits and two earned runs in six innings of work to drop to 2-2 on the season.

There was no pitcher's dual in the second game, thanks to an eight-run first inning for Wilmington. The Wildcats who had five hits in the inning, also benefited from five Caldwell errors as seven of the runs were unearned. Wilmington later scored two runs in the second, two in the fourth and another in the fifth. The Cougars knocked home their first runs of the day in the third inning, when sophomore Eric Theiss (Deer Park, NY/Deer Park), pictured, hit a two-run double that scored freshman Jorge Torres (Coral Springs, FL/Taravella) and sophomore Tommy Murphy (Monroe, NY/Washingtonville), who each singled. Theiss again doubled home Torres in the fifth for the Cougars' third run. Theiss went 3 for 3 with three RBIs and two doubles to lead Caldwell offensively. Matt Gianni was 2 for 4 with three RBIs and Brian Testa went 3 for 4 with two RBIs for the Wildcats.

The Cougars are back in action on Monday, Apr. 10, when they play a CACC contest at Felician College at 3:00 p.m.
