Scalisi Fires Five-Hit Shutout, Petino Hits Another Home Run, Cass Raps Four Hits as Baseball Sweeps Staten Island

Cougars Blast 20 Hits; Hernandez has three hits, three runs, two RBI in nightcap

CALDWELL, N.J. -- Senior righthander Brandon Scalisi (New City, N.Y.) spun a five-hit shutout in the opener and freshman 3B Devon Cass (New City, N.Y.) and freshman second baseman Alan Hernandez (Boca Raton, Fla.) had three hits each in the nightcap as Caldwell swept a doubleheader from Staten Island, 6-0 and 11-4, at Kiwanis Oval on Saturday.

Scalisi fanned five and walked one in his fifth career complete game and second shutout. He was supported by a Cougars offense that supplemented six hits, including the second home run of the season by sophomore CF Christian Petino Jr. (Flemington, N.J.), with five stolen bases, including a nifty double steal by senior RF Liam Lombardi (Stony Point, N.Y.) and junior DH Stephen Young Jr. (Middlesex, N.J.) for the team's first run.

The Cougars put the game away with two in the fifth on Petino's homer and a run-scoring double by senior 1B Liam James (Roseland, N.J.) and three in the sixth on a wild pitch and two-run error.

In game two, Caldwell (5-1) found its hitting shoes, tallying seven runs in the first three innings, highlighted by RBI hits by junior catcher Chris Hopf (Middlesex, N.J.), Cass, junior LF Jimmy Kurtz (Buena, N.J.), Hernandez and Petino.

Hernandez laced another RBI single in the sixth, followed by a two-run, pinch-hit double by senior Joseph Witt (North Arlington, N.J.) for the final margin.

Soph righty John Rigas (Lincoln Park, N.J.) pitched three scoreless, hitless innings to get the win, the Cougars' fifth in five games against the Dolphins (2-11) this season.

Caldwell takes on ninth-ranked East Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
