Ciliento spearheaded a Bryant offense that stacked up 42 runs in a three-game sweep at Merrimack. After an 0-fer in a mid-week setback to Northeastern, Ciliento took out the rake for the Bulldogs’ weekend NEC series. He recorded at least one hit, one run and one RBI in all three contests en-route to batting .700 (7-for-10) with three walks, three extra-base hits, eight RBI and seven runs. Ciliento opened and closed the three-game set with three-hit performances. He went 3-for-5 with four RBI in Friday’s opener, launching a three-run second-inning bomb and adding an RBI single in the sixth frame. Earning his way on four times, Ciliento went 3-for-4 with one walk, three RBI and three runs in Sunday’s 14-0 win that clinched the series sweep. His second-inning, two-run blast bumped the Bulldogs’ lead to 5-0. Ciliento doubled, walked twice and scored three times in the series’ middle game.
