GAME RECAP: Three Kings Park Pitchers Combine On Opening Day No-No
Final: Kings Park 4, Mount Sinai 0 WP: Hunter Colagrande (5 IP, 0 H, 8 Ks) Combined no-hitter between Colagrande, Callaghan and Hauk pic.twitter.com/rUaPoCXZA3 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 25, 2024 Kings Park Head Coach Andrew Abreu has a mantra for the team and it’s “Nothing Easy”. He joked that they lived up to that today, even in a combined no-hitter with a 4-0 lead. With their ace Hunter Colagrande on the hill, it was reasonable to expect offense to be at a premium in this one. Colagrande was outstanding, firing five no-hit innings with 8 strikeouts. He reached his pitch count limit of 75 and gave way to Matt Callaghan who fired a scoreless sixth inning keeping the no-hitter in tact. In the 7th, reigning League MVP Brandon Hauk came in and struggled wi...

RECAP 📎: https://t.co/cYUbCLgq3z#PawsUp🐾 pic.twitter.com/hIJObCQiDK — Adelphi Baseball (@AdelphiBaseball) March 12, 2024 On a beautiful afternoon in Garden City, the Adelphi Panthers came out swinging the bats against the reigning ECC Champs, Queens Knights. The Panthers used a six-run second inning to power past the Knights, who mounted a rally in the late innings to make things interesting, but Adelphi held on for a 9-5 win. Evan Christopher and Stevie Proko was the pitching matchup and the hurlers exchanged scoreless first innings before the Panthers’ bats woke up in the second inning. They put up a six-spot which effectively put the game out of reach. Alec Maag started things off with a single and he a...
GAME RECAP: NY Longhorns Tassielli Finish Off Perfect Fall Season, Capture 13u American Championship
Bottom 1: A 2-R single by Patrick Dolan gives Longhorns a 3-0 lead pic.twitter.com/2XBjbZqfCQ — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 11, 2023 Well, you can’t do any better than that. The New York Longhorns Tassielli, in their first season together, went 21-0, and put the exclamation point on their undefeated fall with a run-rule victory in the LI Boys of Summer 13u American Championship over LI Storm. They didn’t waste any time, either. They scored 8 runs in the bottom of the first inning. The tone was set by James Steck who hit a routine grounder to short, but hustled out of the box and beat the throw. RBI hits by Jake Spina and a two-run single by Patrick Dolan followed and made it 3-0. Andrew Kil and Thomas Terravecchia followed with two-run hits of their own to bre...
GAME RECAP: Bonnie Bulls Capture 14u LI Boys of Summer National Championship
Impressive first inning from 14-year-old Emmett Gleeson who was 74-78 MPH with 2 strikeouts pic.twitter.com/g93zgjElJ1 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 11, 2023 Offense was at a premium in this championship game, with a combined total of 7 hits between the two teams. The Bonnie Bulls used a four-run second inning to break the game open and build a comfortable 6-0 cushion. It proved to be more than enough to capture the 14u National Championship against B1000 Seminoles Tracey. The Bulls send hard-throwing southpaw Emmett Gleeson to the mound, and he was dominant. The lefty went five shutout innings, striking out 10 batters, allowing just two hits and two walks. His fastball was 74-78 MPH, and it’s pretty clear he has a bright future ahead. His offense backed him with tw...
GAME RECAP: Roslyn Bulldogs Overcome 4-0 Deficit to Win Play-In Game
It was really the tale of two games – the first inning and the next 7. In the first inning, Team Beast 14u nearly batted around, scoring four runs highlighted by a two-run single by Michael Ferdinando and a two-run double by Christopher Capone. At that moment, it seemed as if Team Beast had full command of the game and they would run away with it. Bottom 1: Michael Ferdinando hits a 2-R single to right field to score Jake Fragiola and Joseph Borg Beast 2, Bulldogs 0 pic.twitter.com/InFIzfsvjd — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 10, 2023 From that point on, however, the script flipped. Team Beast’s offense did not muster another run the remainder of the game – stranding runners in scoring position a few times. On the flip side, Roslyn Bulldogs were able to get ...

by James Ryder #Duke commit Ryan Yormack (‘27, NY) went 3-for-3 with two RBI. Consistent performer on the offensive end, creates tons of strength at impact. Plenty of intrigue as a power hitter. #NEFallWS @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/hH5PHE3ROE — PG Mid Atlantic (NY, NJ, PA, MD,DE,DC) (@PGMidAtlantic) October 28, 2023 The Showtime Select and East Coast Lumberjacks met on Field 2 at Lasorda Legacy Park Saturday afternoon as a part of the 2023 15U PG Northeast Fall World Series Tournament.

GAME RECAP: Roslyn Bulldogs Patience is Key in Walk-Off Win Over B1 Seminoles Parise
by Chris Donnelly FINAL: Roslyn Bulldogs 5, B1 Seminoles Parise 4 Walk-off win pic.twitter.com/HfR0bPWEqo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 14, 2023 In a 14U American/Central Boys of Summer matchup between the Rosyln Bulldogs and B1 Seminoles Parise, the Bulldogs would win 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th on a walk-off error. Jake Lau got the start for the Bulldogs, and to say he was dominant would be an understatement. Lau went 6 innings, surrendering 1 hit, 0 earned runs, and 11 strikeouts. Lau gave up his only hit of the outing in the 1st inning. His counterpart was just as good. Dylan McHugh got the start for B1 Seminoles Parise, and he was locked in the whole game, going 5 innings, giving up 4 hits, 0 earned runs, and striking out 7. McHugh sat down the Bulldogs in order in t...

Things did not look great at that moment for Team Francisco, but they never wavered. In fact, t...

East End won the first game by a score of 2-1 and the Lightning won the second game by a score of 12-8. It was Aidan Gibbs’ performance on the mound that willed East End to victory. His 6 innings of one run ball was enough to hold the Lightning offense. He also added 8 strikeouts and 2 walks. East End would get on the board first in the top of the second inning on a wild pitch that scored Max Liendo who led off the second inning with a shot to left center that landed him on 2nd.

Right fielder Anthony Verde tallied their first hit with a two-out single, followed by a base-on-balls by first baseman Nick Grigonis, but they were unable to score.
