Caldwell scored a run in the first, then exploded for seven runs in the top of the fourth before putting two more on the board in the seventh. Junior Adric Saxon (Coral Springs, FL/Broward CC) hit a three-run homer, his third of the year, in the Cougars' big fourth inning in which Caldwell sent 11 batters to the plate.
