Chargers Use Strong Pitching, Sweep Rams in Conference Doubleheader

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Dominican College surrendered just four runs in two games on Saturday afternoon, sweeping visiting Philadelphia University by scores of 4-2 and 10-2 in a key conference doubleheader.  The Rams, who won the series opener by a 14-13 margin on Friday at home , fall to 11-18 overall and 10-6 in the Central Collegiate Athletic Conference (CACC) with the pair of setbacks in Orangeburg, N.Y.

In the first game of the evening, the Chargers broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.  The big blow came off the bat of catcher Robert Iglesais, who drove in a pair of runs with a single.  Head Coach Mark Heineman's team refused to go quietly as the Rams plated a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning to pull within 3-2 when sophomore second baseman Tyler Mentzer drove in senior JungMin Lee and older brother Zach Mentzer with a two-run triple.  Dominican , however, added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth in taking the first contest.

In the second game, the Chargers scored once in the bottom of the first inning, but the Rams answered with a pair of runs in the top of the second.  Junior outfielder Devin Conroy (pictured) drove in both runs for Philadelphia University with a double, but that was the extent of the Rams' offense for the game.  Dominican went on to score in each of the next four innings including four in the bottom of the fifth to assume control.

Heineman and his team will be back in action on Sunday, April 20th, traveling to Widener University for a non-league battle with the Pride in Chester, Pa.
