Eric Small
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Bronxville, N.Y. – (4/7/2019) – Chestnut Hill College increased their current Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) winning streak to seven games with today's 10-2 and 10-3 victories at Concordia College (NY); the Griffins scored nine late runs to win the opener and used a three-run home run from senior designated hitter Eric Small (Downingtown, Pa.) to prevail in game two. Senior catcher Eric Gilham (Deptford, N.J.) was 3-for-5 with two runs-batted-in (RBI) in the opener, meanwhile sophomore first baseman Andrew Dietz (Warrington, Pa.) was 3-for-4 with two runs and a seventh-inning run-batted-in (RBI). Senior Dino Cattai (Philadelphia, Pa.) (2-2) and junior Jerry Mangan (Wayne, Pa.) (3-2) respectively earned the Scarlet and Gold victories.

Chestnut Hill College (16-16, 11-7) win the opener with nine runs between the eighth and ninth innings. Cattai was the benefactor of the comeback, earning his second win (2-2) of the season with three-and-a-third innings (3.1) innings of scoreless relief. The Griffins scored the first run of the contest with a second-inning, two-out home run from senior left fielder Franklin Ramirez (Reading, Pa.), 1-0. Concordia College (10-23, 5-13) temporarily surpassed the Scarlet and Gold with a two-run sixth inning, 2-1, but were overwhelmed with four Griffins runs in the eighth inning, 5-2, and five more Scarlet and Gold runs in the ninth inning, 10-2. Gilham knocked two runs with a double in the eighth inning and a single in the ninth inning. Sophomore right fielder Michael Perugini (Tamarac, Fla.) and freshman second baseman Luke LeBeau (Pittsfield, Mass.) also knocked in two runs apiece; the former singled home a run in both of the final two innings, while the latter did the same with an eighth-inning single and a ninth-inning sacrifice fly. Sophomore Pat Woltemate (Philadelphia, Pa.) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out three over the first six frames.
 
In game two, the Scarlet and Gold scored three runs in the third inning and relied on a solid start from Mangan to complete the sweep. The Clippers scored a run in their first at-bat, 1-0, but we quickly overshadowed by the Griffins' three-run second. There, a beaming of sophomore shortstop Jared Healey (Philadelphia, Pa.), a Dietz double down the left field line, and a Small home run to left field gave Chestnut Hill College a 3-1 advantage. The Griffins added a run in the fourth inning, 4-1, and eventually won the affair by a 10-3 measure thanks to a six-run ninth inning. Dietz doubled in the second inning, singled in the fourth inning, and doubled in the seventh inning to contribute to three of the Griffins' 10 runs. Healey (2-for-3, 3R, 1RBI) and junior third baseman Ameir Uzzell (Levittown, Pa.) (2-for-4, 1R) also recorded multiple hits; the latter recorded the 100th hit of his collegiate career with a two-out double in the seventh inning. Mangan allowed one earned run on five hits and a walk. He struck out five in five innings or work.
 
Chestnut Hill College continues their CACC schedule on Tuesday, April 9, when they visit Jefferson for a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader.
