Deitz and Bethel Draw CACC Baseball Weekly Honor Roll Recognition for Play Versus Golden Bears
New Haven, Conn. - (3/22/2021) – Junior first baseman Andrew Dietz (Warrington, Pa.) was 3-for-4 as the first Chestnut Hill College run of the seventh inning and the last Chestnut Hill College hit in a three-run eighth inning during a St. Patrick’s Day contest at Kutztown University. Meanwhile, junior Billy Bethel (Yardley, Pa.) held the Golden Bears scoreless over three innings of relief; he allowed four hits and struck out three. For their efforts, the duo appeared on this week’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Baseball Honor Roll.
Chestnut Hill College (3-3) visited Kutztown University (8-1) for Tuesday afternoon’s nine-inning affair. There, the Golden Bears claimed an 8-4 win by using a seven-run fourth inning as insurance against the Scarlet and Gold’s seventh and eighth-inning success. Kutztown University got on the scoreboard in the third inning, using a leadoff triple, a walk, and a wild pitch, 1-0. They added to their advantage in the fourth inning, where a leadoff walk and a hit batsman eventually turned into seven runs on four hits, 8-0. The Griffins put a runner in scoring position in the fourth and fifth innings, but they were not able to get a run across until the seventh inning. There, Dietz led off with a double to centerfield and stole third base before hustling home on a wild pitch, 8-1. Unfortunately, it was the only run the Griffins could muster in the inning as the Golden Bears caught the Scarlet and Gold stealing third prior to an inning-ending strikeout.
Chestnut Hill College returns to action on Tuesday, March 23, when they visit Goldey-Beacom College their CACC season-opener. The twin bill begins with a 12:00 p.m. first pitch.
