Center Moriches Advances to Suffolk County Class B Championship After Defeating Mattituck, 7-4
The classic Suffolk County Class B playoff matchup between Center Moriches and Mattituck proved to be an action-packed two-day battle. Center Moriches hosted the game, as they are the No. 1 seed, and took care of business, winning 7-4. On Tuesday, the Red Devils and Tuckers only played two and a half innings. After a scoreless first the rain began to fall heavily. David Franchi started the game for the Red Devils. Despite the rain, the right-hander allowed just one run in the top half of the third, where the rain was coming down hard enough for the umpires to call the game after the half inning concluded. CM scored two runs in the second after third baseman David Falco led off the inning with a double over the center fielder’s head. He eventually came around to score after designated hitte...

Maryland-commit David Falco launches a 3-R shot and Center Moriches opens up a 4-0 lead in the first pic.twitter.com/FnrsDZsWf0 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 4, 2018 It looked more similar to the opening credits of a Alfred Hitchcock movie, but there was a baseball played in the thick fog and light drizzle at Moriches Complex this morning, which did not deter Stony Brook-commit Liam Pulsipher at all. “It was pretty difficult,” said the senior southpaw following the big victory over Hampton Bays. “It was slippery but you know you have to play with what you’re given and over come those types of things,” he added. He walked two batters in the first inning–due to the slippery turf on the artificial mound–but he settled in and fired ...
David Falco Commits to Maryland
David Falco really generated a buzz this summer when he pitched in East Cobb, GA and lit up the radar gun with 92 MPH fastballs. The Center Moriches sophomore was receiving scholarship offers from several Div-I programs since then. He announced his verbal commitment to the University of Maryland last night. He spoke with Vinny Messana, and here’s what he had to say.. Talk a little about the college recruiting process and how Maryland came to be? Well as soon as I hit 92 mph at a Perfect Game tournament, I received a lot of interest from top-tier Div-I schools. I’ve been to a lot of camps for schools all over the east coast. Most of them I had gotten a little interest from, but when I went to Maryland it was different; the whole coaching staff was involved in recruiting me, on ...

CM got their scoring going early, as they ral...
Babylon Avenges County Championship Loss, Defeating Center Moriches 3-0
Babylon senior pitcher Shaun Kaminski went head-to-head with Center Moriches junior LHP Liam Pulsipher–one of the best pitchers in the county. Kaminski fired a complete game, recording the 3-0 victory with five strikeouts, five hits and two walks. “It’s nice to finally beat Pulsipher, we dropped two games to him, the one last year in the county championship, 1-0, and early in the season, 3-1,” said Babylon head coach Victor Manzella. “I couldn’t be more proud of my boys, I couldn’t be more proud of Shaun [Kaminski]; the way he pitched and it was good to get a W in the first game of the playoffs.” The SUNY Old Westbury-commit opened up the scoring for Babylon after leading off the sixth inning with a single. Kaminski came across on an error off the bat of Joe Rende. This would end up ...
