CAMDEN, N.J. (April 23, 2016) – The Rutgers University-Camden baseball team pounded out 35 hits, took advantage of 13 New Jersey City University errors and gave Head Coach Dennis Barth his 100th collegiate career victory as the Scarlet Raptors posted an 11-1, 15-3 sweep in a New Jersey Athletic Conference doubleheader here Saturday.
 
Rutgers-Camden improves to 20-11 overall and 7-7 in the NJAC, while NJCU falls to 14-19 and 0-14. The results mark only the second season sweep for the Raptors in the last eight years of the series, with the other coming in 2010. In each of the other seasons, the teams have split their two conference games.
 
Rutgers-Camden returns to action Sunday when it hosts Misericordia University in a 2 p.m. non-conference game. NJCU plays a non-conference game at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when it hosts the College of Staten Island.
   
Rutgers-Camden put the game away early with four unearned runs in the second inning on one hit and three Gothic Knight fielding errors. NJCU made six errors to account for five unearned runs in the first game.
 
The Scarlet Raptors ripped 16 hits in the game, including a 3-for-4 contest with two runs and two RBIs for junior designated hitter Andujar Cedeno (Bronx, NY/Escuela Nueva Esperanza, DR). Freshman shortstop Chris Jones (Sewell, NJ/Bishop Eustace Prep) went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs.  Three other Raptors – junior catcher Jon Theckston (Gloucester City, NJ/Gloucester Catholic), senior second baseman Brett Tenuto (Audubon, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) and freshman third baseman Ray Taylor (Collingswood, NJ/Collingswood) each added two hits.

Leading the attack was junior leftfielder Joe Brooks (Blackwood, NJ/Gloucester Catholic), who went 4-for-5 with three runs and one RBI. Coupled with his one hit in the opening game, Brooks' five hits hiked his career total to 176, tying Gerry Gatelein (1993-96) for third on the program's career hit list.
 
Junior rightfielder Doug Carter Jr. (Union, NJ/Union) went 3-for-6 with three runs and three RBIs, while Tenuto, Jones, Theckston and senior first baseman Joe Sigismondi (Blackwood, NJ/Highland Regional) each added two hits.
 
Senior Ryan Sullivan (Livingston, NJ/Livingston) hiked his record to 3-0, pitching 7.2 innings of six-hit ball, walking two and allowing two earned runs. He struck out eight.
