CACC Notes

Bloomfield - Leading the Deacons offense in their opening weekend was Alberto Ruiz (6-11) and Kevin Lauranzon (5-11). Lauranzon also had a homerun and drove in four runs in the three games. Anderson Minyetti stole five bases in the three games after totaling just seven stolen bases all of 2008. The Deacons also received solid starts from LHP's Matt Snyder and Sean Stimpfel on opening day. Stimpfel pitched 6 1/3 scoreless while striking out six against Mercy, while Snyder allowed one run in six innings and striking out five in a win over Queens.

Felician- Junior C Marcos Torres homered on Friday against Mercy to become the 14th member of Felician's 100-hit club. He later hit a game-tying two-run shot for his first career multi-homer game before the bullpen surrendered the lead. Senior CF Vinnie DiBenedetti is the sixth player in the 10-year program history to reach 150 career hits after his six on opening weekend gave him 152. Sophomore 2B Mickey Zudonyi tied a school mark with three doubles in Saturday's win over Mercy. The Golden Falcons scored 20 times in the final three innings of its 24-8 season-opening win over Queens.
