4/7/10 BASEBALL - Baseball Takes Two From Bloomfield

CONTI

NEWARK, N.J. -- A three-run home run by freshman Mike Farrell (Lincroft, NJ) keyed Felician College's come-from-behind 6-5 victory in Game 1 of its Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference baseball doubleheader against host Bloomfield College on Wednesday afternoon at West Side Park. Danny Conti (Aberdeen, NJ) pitched seven shutout innings as Felician also won Game 2, 9-3.

In the opener, Felician (17-15, 5-3) trailed, 3-1, after six innings when its first two runners reached base in the top of the seventh. Farrell's first career roundtripper gave the Golden Falcons the lead, and the visitors later tacked on two unearned runs in the inning. Bloomfield scored single runs in the seventh and eight, but left the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the eighth and had two runners caught stealing in the final three innings.

Mickey Zudonyi hit a key three-run inside-the-park home run vs. Dominican on Apr. 1, 2010.

LYNDHURST, N.J. – Felician College scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to earn an 8-7 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference baseball victory over visiting Dominican (N.Y.) College on Thursday morning at the Lyndhurst Recreation Center. On Thursday night at the same facility, Felician lost a non-conference contest to visiting Southern Connecticut State University, 5-2.

Felician’s morning game was a make-up from Tuesday’s rainout. Dominican senior Tommy Maloney (Massapequa Park, NY/Massapequa), who had led off with a double, scored on a wild pitch in the top of the ninth inning to break a 6-6 tie. However, Jeff Calabrese (Freehold, NJ/CBA) started the home half of the ninth with a single and was sacrificed to second base. After an error, Phil Messerian (Fair Lawn, NJ/Fair Lawn) singled Calabrese home with the tying run. Another Charger error loaded the bases, and Alex Del Valle (Miami, FL/Christopher Columbus) was hit by a pitch to win the game.
