Bronxville, N.Y. (4/8/18) The Dominican College baseball team split a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) double-header with host Concordia College in games played today at Clipper Baseball Field.

Game Two: Game two was scoreless until the third frame when the Charger offense scored a run on the single to left field off the bat of shortstop Joseph Libio (Tamarac, Fla.) for the 1-0 advantage. Concordia responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning, but Dominican regained the 2-1 edge in the fourth as Joshua Colon (Bronx, N.Y.) was able to reach base on an error which allowed a run to score.
The Clippers countered again in the fourth to re-tie the score, 2-2. In the fifth, Dominican added six more runs to rebuild an 8-2 lead.
