Nick DeMicco (Plainedge ’18) picked up right where he left off during the high school season with a long 2-R HR that hooked around the left field foul pole at Joe Nathan Field in the fourth inning to propel Long Island Baseball Prime to a 5-2 victory over the Body Armor Titans.

The BA Titans were without Anthony Fontana and Anthony D’Onofrio (Wantagh ’18) due to the upcoming New York State Class A tournament this weekend as well as a handful of players due to injury which effected their lineup but they sent Plainview JFK junior Tyler Marinaccio to the hill. He fired a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts.
In the top of the second, the BA Titans took a 2-0 lead on a two-run single to right center by Jesse Ortiz to score Jason Coules (Fordham-commit) and Eddie Jarvis (Northeastern-commit). That was all the offense the Titans would get, though, for the rest of the game.
LIB removed their starter after 1+ innings due to discomfort in his elbow. DeMicco came on in relief and pitched great in relief, and that allowed his team’s bats to get to work.
They scored one in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Ethan Wallis and they scored four in the fourth on the two-run shot by DeMicco, an RBI single by Joe Ricciardi and another by Max Braccia.
That was it for the offense, as both team’s pitchers fired zeros for the final three innings.
