Softball swept by Nyack; Faces must win against Wilmington on Sunday (4/28/2007) NYACK, N.Y. – Nyack took both ends of a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader on Saturday afternoon over Holy Family, with both games needing extra innings to determine the outcome. In game one, Nyack rallied with two runs in the bottom of the seventh, then scored one run in the ninth for a 4-3 win. In the second game, Nyack (9-26, 6-16 CACC) scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth in a 5-3 win over Holy Family (16-20, 10-10 CACC). Despite the two losses, Holy Family can still get a berth in the upcoming CACC playoffs with a win over Wilmington and two losses by Dominican, or two wins and a Dominican loss. The Tigers will take on Wilmington Sunday afternoon, while Georgian Court takes on Dominican. Should Holy Family and Dominican finish tied in the standings, Dominican would get the playoff spot over Holy Family since Dominican swept the Tigers earlier this season.

The Tigers then followed with a run in the top of the sixth on an RBI single from Mongiello. Mongiello finished with two RBI in the opener, going 2-for-4 from the plate.
