Whether it’s the first or the seventh inning, they are never out of a ballgame. They proved that once again today as they overcame a 3-1 deficit against St. John the Baptist on the road against a tough lefty, as they used a five-run fifth inning to win by the score of 6-3. Catcher Andrew Heppner who had two hits and drove in a run, said “Today really showed...

We put the ball over the plate and hit the ball to move guys over.” Even though Kellenberg would get t...

by Max Edelman It’s a GRAND SLAM for Jason Berthel! He puts the Vikings back on top. Seaford leads 5-3 in the bottom of the fourth. pic.twitter.com/GZkbdXaa3T — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 11, 2024 The Seaford Vikings used a Jason Berthel grand slam to fuel them to a 5-3 victory over the Cold Spring Harbor Seahawks. Down 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Berthel sent a towering fly ball over the left-center field fence to give his Vikings a 5-3 lead, a lead they would never relinquish en route to a home victory. The Vikings were the team to strike first, as after Dylan Alt doubled to lead off the game, and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly hit by Luke Walsh. Walsh had a solid day at the plate, going two for three with a stolen base to go along with the sacrifice fl...
Calhoun’s Clutch Hitting Blasts Them Past Garden City
by Mike Merolle The @GCsports player of the game was Calhoun’s Joe Belbol. He spoke to Axcess Baseball after defeating Garden City 11-3 pic.twitter.com/CTVyLs3SM0 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 11, 2024 The Calhoun Colts did not let rainy conditions affect their game on Thursday as they defeated Garden City 11-3. The Calhoun bats made the difference in this one but the early game had solid pitching by both sides. Josh Cohen was on the mound for Garden City and his first inning went as any pitcher would dream. A strikeout and two quick outs assisted by the defense. The outing began to go south in the third as the Colts started putting runners on base. For Calhoun, Ryan Morash pitched the entire game and was efficient. Morash allowed early scoring but shut the door quickly a f...
GAME RECAP: Victor Frederick Fires 6 Shutout Innings, St. Dominic Cruises to 9-3 Win
End of 1: Joe Galeotafiore rips a 2-out, 2-run double to left center St. Dominic 3, St. Anthony’s 0 pic.twitter.com/2Baqv8pfub — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 9, 2024 While St. Dominic has a young team, it doesn’t necessarily mean 2024 is a rebuilding year for them. Head Coach Joe Fusco said “these are not your typical freshman and sophomore type players, they are some of the best players in their class at that age.” They have backed up that talk and the Bayhawks defeated a tough St. Anthony’s team, 9-3, behind their ace, Victor Frederick. The St. John’s-commit went six shutout innings, allowing just three hits, issuing two walks and striking out six. He retired the first 10 batters to face him before sophomore CJ Alfano lined a single to get the ...
GAME RECAP: Division Scores Five Runs in 1st Inning, Wins 10-1 over South Side in Non-League Game
Final: Division 10, South Side 1 WP: Mike Roy Matt Bolton: 2-for-3, 2 BBs, 2 runs scored, 4 SBs pic.twitter.com/CtvcZbQrWr — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 5, 2024 Division HS has been one of the true baseball powerhouses on Long Island dating back to the mid 1970s. Much of that is due to their grittiness, blue-collar attitude and attention to detail. Recently, however, they have been fortunate to have high-end talent that has really helped lead them to the top of the standings. Just since 2021, they have graduated Nick Roselli (Binghamton) and had back-to-back Diamond Award winner in Joe Yovino (Elon) and James Sill (SUNY Old Westbury). This year, they appear to have another one of those and Matt Bolton. The Binghamton-commit is off to a red-hot start to the 2024 season –...
GAME RECAP: Dean Ennis Fires 5.2 Shutout Innings, Longwood Defeats Walt Whitman
Final: Longwood 5, Walt Whitman 0 WP: Dean Ennis (5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 Ks) Urso: 2-R triple Moscatiello: solo HR pic.twitter.com/UZrts3GjF5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 27, 2024 With an established team like Longwood and an up-and-coming program like Walt Whitman, it promised to be a great League I series to kick off the 2024 season. With the exception of two innings, Walt Whitman has been up to the task, but they have came up short both games by the score of 1-0 and 5-0. Longwood’s pitching has proven to be just too tough and their ability to put together rallies has been the difference. Walt Whitman sent their sophomore stud, Jaden Grose to the mound against Longwood’s senior southpaw Dean Ennis. The game was scoreless through three innings, as both pitch...

The Flyers hold off a late Friars surge to open their season with a win. pic.twitter.com/vqAKeEUyil — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 26, 2024 On a day where all seven Catholic League teams played at the Moriches Sports Complex to celebrate the beginning of a new season, the Chaminade Flyers defeated the St. Anthony’s Friars 2-1. Entering the top of the seventh and final inning up 2-0, Chaminade starting pitcher John Carroll needed only three outs to give the Flyers the win, and his first complete game shutout of the season. However, that’s where things got dicey. The top half of the seventh began with Carroll getting sophomore CJ Alfano to hit ...

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...
