Robinson Rips Game-Winning Hit, Rigas Goes the Distance for Baseball in Win over HFU

Rigas fans Seven, Cougars Rally to Take Series

CALDWELL, N.J. -- Freshman right fielder Izaiah Robinson (Franklin Twp., N.J.) laced a one-out shot to the left center field gap, scoring junior second baseman Devon Cass (New City, N.Y.) with the winning run as Caldwell University took the rubber game of the three game baseball series with Holy Family, 6-5, at Kiwanis Oval on Sunday.

Robinson's single capped a Cougars rally from an early 4-0 deficit and supported the gritty effort of senior RHP John Rigas (Lincoln Park, N.J.), who pitched a nine-inning complete game for the first time in his career, at one point retiring 15 straight hitters and allowing just three hits after the second inning.

Caldwell (5-15, 4-11 CACC) began its rally in the second when Cass singled in a run. Junior CF Jimmy Turchi (Bridgewater, N.J.) pulled CU to within a run with a fifth-inning, two-run single, and senior SS Christian Rinick's eighth-inning single plated Robinson from second when the HFU center fielder misplayed the ball.

Cass's double looped inside the right field line in the top of the ninth tied it at 5-5 before Robinson drilled a 1-0 pitch to the wall, driving in Cass.

Cass, Robinson, senior 1B Chris Hopf (Middlesex, N.J.) and senior LF Jimmy Kurtz (Buena, N.J.) had two hits apiece to pace the Cougars' 12-hit attack.

Caldwell next visits Georgian Court for a single game on Tuesday ta 3 p.m. at ShoreTown Ballpark, then visits Dominican for a doubleheader on Thursday at Clover Stadium in Pomona, N.Y.
