Baseball Clinches Second Place in the CACC With 8-7 Triumph Over Wilmington

Goldey-Beacom locked up second place in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with an 8-7 victory over Wilmington (DE) at Doyle Field in Hockessin, DE.
 
This marks the fifth time in the program's 10-year history GBC either has closed first or second in the conference, which is the case this season, or the CACC South Division.
 
Goldey-Beacom (29-20, 22-11 CACC) now awaits to see who the No. 7 seed, its first-round opponent in the CACC Tournament, will be.  If Chestnut Hill wins its home game Tuesday night against Caldwell, Holy Family will be the opponent.  If Chestnut Hill loses, it drops to the seventh see as it loses the tiebreaker to Holy Family.
 
The first two games of the best-of-three series at Doyle Field will be Friday in a noon doubleheader and third game, if necessary, is Saturday at 1:00 pm.

GBC got four more in the sixth for an 8-2 margin.  Freshman Kaden Barmer (Edgewood, MD) recorded a fielder's choice RBI, junior Bobby Stewart (Newark, DE) got a run-scoring single and Current added a two-run double.
 
The Wildcats scored three times in the seventh and then plated two more in the eighth for an 8-7 margin.  MJ Phillips cracked a leadoff homer in the eighth and Justin Hernandez added an RBI single.
 
However, the Lightning shut down things in the ninth.  After Tyler Pirrung got a leadoff double, freshman Tyler Leech (Wilmington, DE) settled down and got out of the inning for his first collegiate save.
