West Orange High baseball player Charlie Eidelman has announced his commitment to play college ball in Georgia at Thomas University — where he would join former Warriors teammate and recent graduate, Lucas Dufresne.

“I am honored to announce I’ll be continuing my academic and athletic career at Thomas University!” he said in a social media post. “I want to thank my family and coaches for helping me become the player I am today. Excited for the next step.”

West Orange baseball coach Mike Scudero shared his delight at the news on his social media as well: “Proud of his hard work and dedication,” Scudero said. “Best of luck Charlie in this exciting new chapter!”

For the Warriors last season, Eidelman played predominantly as a right fielder. From the batter’s box, he hit for an average of .338 (22/65), drove in 10 runs, scored 16 runs and stole five bases.
