BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Junior LF Liam Lombardi (Stony Point, N.Y.) ro;;ed a two-run single, capping a six-run fourth inning and sophomore righthander Brandon Scalisi (New City, N.Y) pitched seven strong innings to lead Caldwell baseball to a game one win, 9-6, and eventual sweep of a twinbill with CACC foe Bridgeport at Seaside Park on Friday. Stephen Young's two-run double in the fourth and solid start by sophomore lefty Danny Keane (Union, N.J.) keyed a 3-2 game two Cougars triumph.

In the opener, the Cougars trailed, 5-3, after three but a two-run single by sophomore catcher Christopher Bayo (Miami) tied it and RBIs by junior SS Sean Brown and senior DH Oscar Fajardo (Brentwood, N.Y.) preceded Lombardi's gamebreaker to make it 9-5. Scalisi and senior righthander Nikko Matos (Roselle Park, N.J.) made the lead stand up, combining to permit just one run the rest of the way for Scalisi's second win and a six-out save for Matos, his first.

In the nightcap, Young's hit gave the Cougars (3-9, 2-1 CACC) a 2-1 lead in the fourth, before soph 3B Michael Cruz (Miami) extended the advantage with an RBI single plating Fajardo. Again the Cougars hurlers were up to the task; this time it was Keane and sophomore righty Nick Napolitano (No. Massapequa, N.Y.)  shutting down the Purple Knights (3-16, 1-2), the latter tossing 2 2/3 hitless frames to earn his first save.

Cruz had two hits in each game as CU totaled 21 hits in the two games.

Caldwell next visits Holy Family on Sunday for a doubleheader, then takes on Chestnut Hill at Kiwanis Oval on Tuesday.
