GAME RECAP: Victor Frederick Dominates on the Mound, Crushes 3-R HR in St. Dom’s Victory
Final: St. Dominic 10, Chaminade 1 WP: Victor Frederick Frederick also hit a 3-R HR pic.twitter.com/uHl1vHvaD6 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 18, 2023 For a team looking to establish themselves as a championship contender, there is no bigger moment than facing the reigning New York State champs. Chaminade is the three-time reigning Catholic League champs and coming off one of the most dominant seasons in Long Island history. St. Dominic, a team loaded with talent and looking for their first championship since 2009, had this one circled on the calendar for sure. The Bayhawks sent ace and St. John’s-commit Victor Frederick to the mound and he was up to the task. Frederick was extremely effective and efficient as he cruised through a Flyers lineup that features five Divisi...

by Eddie Lennon Wantagh’s Tim Hennig is the Axcess Baseball Player of the Game powered by @GCsports. He got the win over Island Trees, 8-3, tossing 5 scoreless innings with 5 strikeouts. pic.twitter.com/vbHwd4Se1k — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 17, 2023 Going into this season, Wantagh had one goal: to make the playoffs. Last season was the first time they missed the playoffs since 1994. Their 8-3 win over Island Trees definitely helps them work toward their goal. Binghamton-commit Tim Hennig was spectacular on the mound for Wantagh. He went five scoreless innings, striking out five and only allowing five hits. The Wantagh infield did turn two double plays to help Hennig hold the lead. Paul Fontana pitched the last two innings to seal with win for Wantagh. B/2- Tom Wunderlich ...
GAME RECAP: CJ Forman’s Arm, Ben Moscatiello’s Bat Lead Longwood to Crucial Win over Sachem East
Final: Longwood 7, Sachem East 1 WP: CJ Forman (CG, 6 Ks, 1 R) Moscatiello: 3-for-4, 3 RBIs, 2 stolen bases Longwood improves to 7-2 on the season to get even in standings with Sachem East pic.twitter.com/ozTZ6VMQbj — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 17, 2023 With one game separating them in the standings, today was a crucial game between Longwood and host Sachem East. The Longwood Lions sent junior CJ Forman to the mound against a formidable Sachem East team that entered with a record of 7-1. Forman was outstanding, as he went the distance and struck out five batters in the victory for the Lions as they were able to create a tie atop the standings. Sachem East countered with Austin Barrett, and he was very effective in the early going as the pitchers traded zeros for the first t...
8-Run Second Fuels Blue Collar Bulldogs to Victory
by Gabe Zoda Talked with Coach Dave and Charlie Logalbo after their win over Team Beast. pic.twitter.com/lVMToaID0B — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 15, 2023 Blue Collar Bulldogs’ 8-run second inning fueled a win in their first game of a double header against Team Beast early Saturday afternoon. This game was jam packed with action right from the first pitch with constant pressure from both sides and a reluctance to give in at any point from both sides. This action started in the bottom of the first inning with the Bulldogs getting on the board first. Thomas Ondocin hit a leadoff single, then stole second and third to get himself in prime scoring position with no outs in the inning. After Ondocin, Leo Niland followed it up with a walk to give the Bulldogs a 1st and 3rd situati...
Gavin Jurek’s Grand Slam, 5 RBIs Helps Propel Merrick Mayhem to Victory
by Gabe Zoda Spoke with head coach Brian and Gavin Jurek after their victory over Team Francisco. pic.twitter.com/bRzm3KDM1m — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 15, 2023 Merrick Mayhem used a first inning grand slam by Gavin Jurek to overtake Team Francisco in the second game of a double header on Saturday morning. Mayhem fell to Team Francisco in the first game by 1 run in a game that was back-and-forth the entire time. In between games, the mentality was to shake off the loss in the first game and reset. Reset they did and it all started right out of the gates when Mayhem put up 6 runs in the top of the first. The offense started with a single by Matthew O’Brien followed by back to back walks by Andrew Pucella and Griffin Kelson. This set an early stage for Gavin Jurek to make ...
GAME RECAP: Bellport LHP Dan Rubin Fires Two-Hit Shutout Over Newfield
Final: Bellport 7, Newfield 0 WP: Danny Rubin (CG shutout, 6 Ks) pic.twitter.com/aRKqeZR4bN — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 13, 2023 When these two teams squared off a couple weeks ago, it was Newfield that came away with the victory. As fate would have it, the same two pitchers squared off – and that was freshman Brandon Seddio for Newfield and senior Dan Rubin of Bellport. When asked if that familiarity provided a competitive advantage, Dan Rubin did not hesitate to say yes it did. He worked quickly and efficiently and he fired a two-hit shutout with 6 strikeouts over the 2021 Long Island Champs. Rubin only really got into one jam and that was in the top of the sixth inning when he allowed a hit to Scott Whitbeck and walked Matt Hesselbirg and Dylan Alberto to loa the ...
GAME RECAP: Seven Run 4th Inning Propels Division to 8-0 Start to Season
Final: Division 13, Bethpage 4 WP: Mike Roy Division improved to 8-0 on the season. They erased an early 3-0 deficit. Chris Clune: 3 hits pic.twitter.com/I1RDLou9yd — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 11, 2023 When you enter the game with a run differential of 95 scored and 1 allowed, the expectations are high – even against a perennial playoff team like Bethpage. One day after a 10-0 shutout behind ace James Sill, Division faced an uphill battle – by their standards. Bethpage actually jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead against Division RHP Christian Varela – with the runs coming on a bases loaded walk in the first inning and a 2-run error on an errant pickoff throw in the second inning. At that point, it seemed we would be in for a close game, at the very least. But...
GAME RECAP: Dom Carbone Carries No-Hitter Into 6th Inning, Rocky Point Wins 5-1
Dom Carbone struck out 10 and allowed just 2 hits and an unearned run in Rocky Point’s 5-1 win over Comsewogue. He was the Axcess Preseason Player of the Year and today’s Player of the Game Powered by @GCsports pic.twitter.com/38gtY96o3a — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 10, 2023 Last year, Dom Carbone was one of the several high-end Division-I players on Rocky Point’s Suffolk County Championship winning team. But as the calendar turned to 2023 and four of those players graduated, he is now the leader of the team. The Eagles might be a little younger, but they are just as hungry and fundamentally sound as they ever were under coach Anthony Anzalone who has them believing in themselves. Dom Carbone, who we named the Axcess Preseason Player of the Year, and is among the top ...
Beast and South Shore Sharks Split Saturday DH
by Gabe Zoda Spoke with Coach TJ and Miles Kalisiewicz after their win over the South Shore Sharks. Miles Finished the game 2-3 with 2RBI Singles. He also pitched a scoreless inning in the game. pic.twitter.com/nArgudX5bt — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 8, 2023 Easter weekend saw the South Shore Sharks and Team Beast split a double header at Wantagh park. The first game was well contested the entire way through and saw South Shore win by a 3-2 final score. The second game could not have been any more different as Beast took the early lead and never looked back as they took that game by a final score of 12-3. In the first game, both teams were in a deadlock for the first 3 innings. The pitching for both sides were lights out. On the side of the Sharks, Mason Montanez pitched 5...
Ken Kortright State Farm Game of the Week: Martell’s RBI Single Propels St. Francis to Extra Inning Win
Final (9 innings): St. Francis Prep 4, Kellenberg 3 WP: Andrew Schoelles Matt Martell: go-ahead RBI single in 9th inning pic.twitter.com/8dGkd2WWGB — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 6, 2023 Two outstanding pitchers took the mound this morning in East Meadow in what was one of the only games played on Long Island. It was a Catholic League crossover matchup between St. Francis Prep and Kellenberg in which the matchup was Queens-commit Peter Nenadich and uncommitted southpaw Jack Durso. The teams went toe-to-toe for 9 innings with St. Francis Prep coming out on top by the score of 4-3. In the top of the first inning, Durso worked around two base runners to fire a zero. In the home half, Monmouth-commit Kenny Noe drew a walk, stole second, advanced to third on a balk but was strande...

Division wins 16-1. pic.twitter.com/h1PYVyMGtf — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 4, 2023 Division remained dominant, beating Hewlett, 16-1, in five innings. Their bats got started early and did not let up throughout the whole game. The Blue Dragons managed to score in every inning of their fifth inning run-fest, putting up one in the first, three in the second, five in the third, five in the fourth, and two in the fifth. T/1- Joe Yovino with the long RBI double to left to drive in the first run. 1-0 Division. pic.twitter.com/EJx6x0Bx5E — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 4, 2023 Elon-commit Joe Yovino had a big day at t...

by Eddie Lennon Oceanside’s Luke Villella is the Axcess Baseball Player of the Game powered by @GCsports. Villella crushed a go ahead RBI double. Solid 6-4 W for Oceanside. pic.twitter.com/otDo4wRfsP — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 3, 2023 In a thrilling start to the season, Oceanside comes out victorious with an upset win over Massapequa as they win 6-4 in six innings. Opening up against a powerhouse like Massapequa was not an easy task for coach Mike Postilio and his young Oceanside squad. Massapequa are the five-time reigning Class AA Nassau County Champs and were looking to establish their dominance early in the county. Oceanside had different plans for the evening. Mike Furst took the mound for Oceanside. He kept them competitive by tossing 4 1/3 innings, striking out f...
