Adelphi
Who Were The Best College Teams of The 2010s?
Like we did a couple weeks ago with high school, it’s time to debate the top college teams of the 2010s. The rules are as follows: Each program can appear on this list only one time. This is to avoid having the list stocked with Division-I schools. The schools that are in consideration are Stony Brook, Hofstra, NY Tech, Adelphi, Molloy, LIU Post, Queens, Dowling, Farmingdale State, Old Westbury, St. Joseph’s, Maritime, Suffolk CC and Nassau CC. Without further ado, here it goes. 10. Suffolk CC 2018 (Record: 30-13) This team had a terrific combination of pitching and defense. Leading the charge offensively was Jeff Towle. A catcher with true power potential at the plate, he hit three HRs in one game in early March. He finished the season with a triple slash line of .463/.543/.86...
Brian Cashman Speaks At Adelphi Fall Cocktail Event
Carle Place, NY– In what was a packed house at the beautiful Chateau Briand, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman spoke candidly with Ed Randall, host of the popular radio show, “Talking Baseball”. There was over 400 guests in attendance and they were treated to an informative discussion between a veteran talk show host and the current GM of the most successful franchise in the history of North American sports. Cashman, a native of Rockville Center, came on at about 9:15pm which was directly after the news broke about the Yankees releasing Jacoby Ellsbury and designating Greg Bird for assignment. Here’s a few highlights from the discussion. Again, this wasn’t a motivational speech, this was a pretty in-depth conversation on a myriad of issues both past & pres...

Jacob is a 2021 graduate of Comsewogue HS, he put himself on the map this season with a 14 strikeout complete game victory during the Boys of Summer playoffs in which he touched 86 MPH. I had a chance to speak with him and here’s what he had to say.. Can you explain your experience with the college recruiting process and why you chose Adelphi? My experience with the college recruiting process was quick and painless. I joined the LI Strong Baseball Academy this fall. During that time, I ha...
Fall Ball Series Powered by East Coast Strength & Performance: Adelphi University
Freshman southpaw Michael Storms (Smithtown East) has thrown well this fall pic.twitter.com/ZsCyyRIk9z — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 22, 2019 It’s hard to imagine a team having a better regular season than Adelphi did in 2019– they finished with a record of 34-6-1, they peaked as the No. 5 ranked Division-II team in the nation, they went on an 18-game unbeaten streak, they had an All-American pitcher and an MLB draft pick (Ed Baram). Somehow, there’s still a sense of unfinished business in Garden City as the Panthers had their season cut short in disappointing fashion with consecutive home playoff losses to Southern Connecticut, Franklin Pierce and Wilmington University. A team with a 3.44 ERA allowed 27 runs in those three postseason games and watched Ne...
Adelphi’s Ninth Inning Rally Comes Up Just Short, Fall to No. 8 Franklin Pierce 4-3
It’s not often that the No. 1 seed has to face a seasoned and battle-tested No. 8 seed such as Franklin Pierce. The host Adelphi Panthers dropped the first round of the NCAA Division-II East Regional, 4-3, to the NE-10 Champions. In front of a packed house at William J. Bonomo Field the top-seeded Panthers fell behind 2-0 in the second inning on a two-run double by Jonel Ozuna to put the Ravens ahead 2-0. This came after a dominant first inning for Baram who blew 91 MPH fastballs past two of the first three batters in a 1-2-3 inning. In the bottom of the fourth, Lucas Terwilliger got the Panthers on the board with an RBI single to cut the deficit in half. The Panthers missed several run-scoring opportunities in this game, failing to capitalize on five Ravens’ errors. It was a m...
Southern Connecticut Defeats Adelphi, 9-6, in Opening Round of NE-10 Tournament
Well, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Hours after getting ranked as the No. 6 Division-II in the nation, Adelphi dropped their first round NE-10 conference tournament game, 9-6, against Southern Connecticut who entered the game with a record of 19-26. Additionally, Adelphi was hosting the tournament and is slated to host the NCAA East Regional next week. They sent Ed Baram (7-1, 0.58 ERA) to the mound but it was not his day. He allowed two HRs in the second inning. Mike DeMartino got it going with a two-run shot to right and Nolan Cloutier followed with one to left to make it 3-0. The game was far from over, though. The Panthers got on the board in the home half of the third on a bases loaded walk to Brandon Warick to score Mike Cattani. In the top of the fourth, Baram ran into troub...
What’s On Tap for This Week?
May is always chaos for Long Island baseball. With the combination of Division-III conference championships intersecting with Division-II postseason this week, which turns into Division-II Regionals intersecting with Division-I postseason and high school postseason next week which turns into the Long Island Championships for Class AA, A, B and C. Needless to say it’s a crazy time for us, but you have to love it. As opposed to the Power Rankings, we are going to do something different. That’s because this deep into the season, it’s pretty much clear how the teams stack up. Here’s what you can follow along with this week. *Note: The ECC playoff seeds will be set following today’s Queens @ LIU Post games. Monday: Queens @ LIU Post 3pm (ECC Regular Season Finale) ...
Adelphi Bats Stay Hot, Defeat NYIT 9-3
Brett Malm talks about his 2-Run HR that jump started the scorching hot Adelphi offense. pic.twitter.com/Gg803ldSBk — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 20, 2019 Adelphi had no problem handling the talented NYIT pitching staff, as they cruised to a 9-3 victory on Wednesday afternoon. After putting up a ten-spot yesterday against Molloy, Adelphi wasted no time getting back in the run column. To start things off, Brett Malm launched a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 1st inning, giving them an early lead. Malm finished 3-5 on the day with 2 RBI. “We had a good jump out of the game today with a 2-run home run in the 1st inning that helped my team get on the board early,” said Malm. “We kept it going from yesterday and we’re going to keep this momentum going ...
Adelphi Overcomes the Flu Bug, Powers Past Molloy, 10-5
Adelphi Head Coach Dom Scala discusses how his team overcame the flu bug and their 10-5 victory over Molloy today pic.twitter.com/0mFiNLhEG8 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 19, 2019 Over the past week, several members of the Adelphi Panthers have been relegated to the bench due to flu-like symptoms. Being in close quarters, one player can cause a number of others to get sick and that was a major reason for their recent defeats on their annual trip to Florida. Fortunately, getting back to New York was exactly the spark the offense needed to get back on track as they used the long ball to power past local rival, Molloy College, by the score of 10-5. Lawrence Cicileo continued his red-hot start to the season with a two-run first inning HR to score Brett Malm and give the Panthers...
