The Ducks close it out on Yeti Baseball, inducing a groundout to end it. Each team added another run apiece, but it did not make a difference in the outcome. Final: Ducks 6, Yeti Baseball 4 pic.twitter.com/39iwGoAldx — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) August 6, 2022 A 14u Boys of Summer matchup between Yeti Baseball and the Long Island Junior Ducks took place at Newfield High School on Saturday afternoon. Both teams have had similar seasons thus far, so a competitive game was expected. Nick Hoffman took the mound for the Ducks. The righty with a downer curveball made it look easy in the first inning, promptly throwing a hitless frame. The Duck bats showed they were there to play, jumping out to an early 4-0 lead via hits from Jacob Abzug and Bradley Fruchter as well as walks from Ryan...
Body Armor Titans Sweep Sunday Morning DH
by Blake Buscemi The second game was also called due to mercy rule with the final score being 15-0. Ryan Yormack had himself a day as he went deep twice and reached base in every plate appearance. He takes us through what his mentality is at the plate and what his goals are going forward. pic.twitter.com/QaNZxBM6EG — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 31, 2022 A 14u doubleheader between the East End Aviators and the Body Armor Titans took place at Stony Brook University on Sunday morning. The Aviators were forced to play with eight players rather than nine due to a last-second cancellation – which played a big impact on the games. Brian Brower took the mound for the Titans and immediately made his presence known, throwing a hitless first including a strikeout. The bottom of th...

by Blake Buscemi Liam Doyle discusses his start, his pitch arsenal, and his goal going forward into next year. pic.twitter.com/oru7fPV981 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 23, 2022 The final game of the regular season for the Riverhead Tomcats and the Shelter Island Bucks took place at Veterans Memorial Park in Calverton on Saturday afternoon in the second game of a doubleheader. This game was a must-win for Shelter Island, as they were one game out of the playoff race going into this. Nick Papageorge took the mound for the Tomcats to start the game. The Tomcats have had a busy schedule recently and were low on pitching, so most of the arms they put on the mound today were not primary pitchers. Shelter Island was able scratch one run across in the first with an RBI single from Bi...

Both lineups were filled with talent from top to bottom, so we were in store for a competitive ballgame. Jackson Barnett took the mound for the Pride. He’s a big, projectable kid with a pitcher’s build and a great feel for pitching at such a young age. He made a statement immediately, striking out Matt Tomasello, inducing a groundout from Joey Petrucelly, and striking out Nikola Cespe looking. Joey Petrucelly...

Playoffs approaching in the next couple of weeks makes every game crucial going forward. Rutgers’ Cole Hansen took the mound for the Tomcats against Liam Adpierto of Villanova and the Bucks. Hansen is having a nice year for himself, posting a 3.51 ERA thus far across 25 innings. Shelter Island was able to get to him early, however, as Bradley University’s Ryan Vogel started the game with a double to right field and Pace University’s T.J. Keefe drove him in with an RBI single to make it ...

by Blake Buscemi Danny Gargano shuts it down for the save, retiring Orologio to end it. Final: South Shore 3, Riverhead 0 pic.twitter.com/BwCSJh0pmb — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 21, 2022 Two Hamptons League squads in the Riverhead Tomcats and the South Shore Clippers battled it out at Veterans Memorial Park in Calverton Tuesday afternoon. I have covered two Clippers games already this season and they won both of them, so I had high expectations for them in this one. The pitching matchup consisted of Pace’s Grant Biederman for the Tomcats and New Haven’s Matt Minio for the Clippers. Both pitchers had it working early on but suffered from some control issues. Minio induced two groundouts before hitting Sacred Heart’s Dante D’Amore with a pitch and walking Rutgers’ Jason Shock...

By Blake Buscemi Gargano retires Adamo to end the game after a couple of North Fork runs to end the game. Final: South Shore 6, North Fork 3 pic.twitter.com/omWT1Zb2Xf — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 17, 2022 Another Hamptons League matchup took place at Cochran Park in Peconic this afternoon, this time between the South Shore Clippers and the North Fork Ospreys. I covered a Clippers game last week and saw some impressive performances, so I knew I would see some more notable performances today. Adelphi standout John Rizzo took the mound for the Clippers, coming off a ten-strikeout performance last week. He faced off against Andrew Neff, who pitches for the University of Cincinnati. Neff was rolling right away, as he induced a groundout to short from Adelphi’s Johnny Catuosco,...
South Shore Clippers Come Away With 4-2 Win on HCBL Opening Day
By Blake Buscemi South Shore gets the win as Ryan Hynes closes it out for the save, inducing a Milone strikeout.

The Hamptons League is an elite summer league for prospects nationwide, so it was a given that we were going to see some competitive baseball.

John Rizzo, who posted phenomenal numbers at Adelphi as a freshman with a 3.70 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 73 innings, took the mound against Cole Koeppel, who pitches for the University of Massachusetts...

By Blake Buscemi Nico Pasquanello takes us through the game and what B1000’s goals for the season are. pic.twitter.com/HynzLERSHw — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2022 The Sharks Academy took on the B1000 Seminoles on Saturday afternoon at Allen Park in Farmingdale in the Memorial Day Clash. There was action from the get-go, so it was evident that it would be an exciting game early on. Aaron Levinsohn, the B1000 leadoff hitter, started the game by ripping a double over the centerfielder’s head off Sharks Academy starter Lucas Sikiric. Castillo then reached on an error by the third baseman, which allowed Levinsohn to score. McManus and Ciccimarro both walked, leading to a 2-run single by Nico Pasquariello to make it a 3-0 game early. Tommy Gallo took the hill for the Seminol...
Chaminade and St. Anthony’s Advance With Sunday Evening Victories
By Blake Buscemi Downing goes the distance for a complete game shutout. Absolutely dominant performance with 10 Ks. pic.twitter.com/QOvLmIgSf0 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 22, 2022 There were a pair of Catholic League games played today at St. Joseph’s College, both of which had one thing in common; they were pitcher’s duels. That was to be expected with the quality of pitching that was lined up for the day. Game one started off with a bang when Chaminade centerfielder and Binghamton-commit Nick Ungania smoked a triple into the right-center field gap. Marist-commit Brady Steinert drove him in with a single later in the inning to give Chaminade a 1-0 after an inning. Things got very quiet after this as both starting pitchers, Kyle Chase of St. John the Baptist and John Downin...
