Waterbury, Conn. – The Post University baseball team opened up Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) play with an 11-2 win over Nyack at Municipal Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first, starting with an RBI single by Robert Olah that scored Michael Pavlachak, who walked to open the inning.

After Nyack (0-5, 0-1 CACC) answered with its only two runs of the game in the top of the fourth, the Eagles put the game away with four more runs in the bottom of the fifth as Olah opened the inning with a triple followed by an RBI single from Shane Lindemuth to put Post up, 7-2.
