Barletta Draws CACC Baseball Weekly Honor Roll Recognition

New Haven, Conn. - (5/6/2019) – Sophomore right fielder Sam Barletta (Royersford, Pa.) went 2-for-5 with two runs and three runs-batted-in (RBI) in Chestnut Hill College’s Opening Round loss at #2N Dominican College to garner a spot on this week’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Baseball Honor Roll. Barletta was one of four Griffins offered multi-hit performances in the affair, tying the game at 4-4 with a fifth-inning three-run home run and leading off the seventh inning with a single to left field.
   
As the #3 seed in the CACC South Division, Chestnut Hill College visited #2N Dominican College for today’s Opening Round contest. The Chargers used a four-run first inning and individuals runs in the fourth and sixth innings to defeat the Griffins, 6-4. Five hits and an error precipitated four Dominican College (27-23) runs in the first inning, 4-0. Chestnut Hill College (27-22) got a run back in the fourth inning with leadoff single from senior catcher Eric Gilham (Deptford, N.J.), some hustle on the base paths, and a two-out single down the left field line from freshman designated hitter Luke LeBeau (Pittsfield, Mass.), 4-1. Unfortunately, the Chargers matched the tally in the bottom of the frame, 5-1, to provide enough coverage for Barletta’s fifth-inning, three-run home run, 5-4. Dominican College added an insurance tally in the bottom of the sixth inning and relied on Broderick’s relief pitching to carry them to a 6-4 victory.
 
Chestnut Hill College also recorded an 8-4 win in their regular season finale at Kutztown University on May 1, before finishing 2019 season at 27-23 overall (21-11 CACC).
