Brennan Goes Deep Twice As Baseball Defeats Caldwell

West Caldwell, N.J. – Jimmy Brennan hit two home runs and hit a game-tying RBI single as the Post University baseball team defeated Caldwell, 6-5 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) road game on Tuesday.

Post is now 15-12 overall and 5-1 in the CACC. They have won eight of their last ten games and are 8-2 in their last ten games. Caldwell is now 7-12 overall and 1-5 in the CACC.

Brennan wasted little time getting the Eagles on the board, hitting a one-out solo home run to left field making it a 1-0 game. It is the second straight game Brennan hit a home run.

With the game tied 1-1 in the top of the third, Brennan once again went deep to left field for his third home run of the year, this time with two outs in the inning.

Caldwell, however, loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth with one out and Liam Lombardi drove two runs in with a single, giving Caldwell a 3-2 lead. Waldy Arias followed with an RBI single of his own and a sacrifice fly gave them a 5-2 lead.

Post got one of those runs back in the sixth on an RBI single from Chris Corchado and scored three in the top of the seventh to take a 6-5 lead. Matthew Solomon and Evan Cornwell hit back-to-back doubles made it a 5-4. After a groundout, Brennan hit an RBI single to score Cornwell. DJ Caron followed with a single and Danny Gill was hit by a pitch, setting the table for Matt Goehrig whose fielder's choice drove in Brennan to give Post the 6-5 lead.

Nathaniel Byrd and Jacob Tamburrino combined to retire the final nine batters to preserve the win. Byrd earned the win for the Eagles, pitching 4.1 innings, giving up just one hit and striking out five. Tamburrino pitched 1.1 innings, earning the save.

Brennan finished the game 3-for-5 with three runs and three RBI. Caron was 2-for-5 with a run. Corchardo was 2-for-4 with an RBI and Cornwell was 2-for-4 with a run and RBI.

Brennan is now 6-for-12 with five runs, three homers and eight RBI in his last three games.

The Eagles have won the last four contests against Cougars, including a sweep in last season's series.

The two teams will meet in a doubleheader on Saturday, April 1, beginning at noon at Municipal Stadium.
