LYNDHURST, N.J. -- The Cougars baseball team banged out 14 hits but it wasn't enough as they fell at Felician in their CACC opener, 12-3, at Breslin Field. Graduate CF Joshua Lopez (Nanuet, N.Y.) and sophomore LF Liam Lombardi (Stony Point, N.Y.) each had three hits and freshman SS Malik Little (Bergenfield, N.J.), freshman 3B Michael Cruz (Miami) and junior 1B Zach Saunders (Adelphi, Md.) rapped out two hits each, but the Cougars (6-8, 0-1 CACC) stranded 10 runners in a 12-3 loss in the CACC opener for both squads.

Caldwell got off to a fast start, plating three first-inning runs, capped by an RBI double by Lombardi. But Felician (8-15, 1-0 CACC) tallied two in the first and eight more in the second for the commanding lead.

Junior righthander Trent Williams (Glen Burnie, Md.) was impressive in relief for the Cougars, tossing three innings of two-hit, scoreless relief, fanning two.

The teams resume the three-game series on Friday with a doubleheader at Kiwanis Oval beginning at noon.
