Chris Lollo
Who Is Jack Gonzalez?
Sachem North made a surprise playoff run in a difficult League 2 this season thanks to a strong pitching staff led by Chris Lollo, Kevin Kochen and Jack Gonzalez. Lollo is at Washington College, Kochen is at Queens College and Gonzalez announced yesterday that he has committed to St. Thomas Aquinas. They are coming off an appearance in the Div-II College World Series, where they won the first two games before falling just short of the ultimate goal. Gonzalez is a crafty left-handed pitcher that works in the 78-79 MPH range, but has tremendous command of his pitches. He had a very good summer with Motus Academy, where he was named to the All-Tournament team of the WWBA in Georgia. He will be leading the Arrows’ rotation in 2018 as they look to build on this year’s 11-win season....
Branden Falco Delivers Go-Ahead Hit, Joe Sommer Fires CG to Advance
Final: Kings Park 5, Sachem North 2 WP: Joe Sommer Branden Falco go-ahead two-run single KP will face Commack tomorrow pic.twitter.com/gegR8kuOLR aXcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) May 15, 2017 When he was a freshman watching the Kings Park varsity team play, Branden Falco thought to himself “this is gonna be us someday.” As it turns out, it was three years later that he would be playing in front of a packed house with his team trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning against Sachem North in an elimination game. It was the same team that had eliminated them the previous year, with the same pitcher (Chris Lollo) who fired a no-hitter as Falco watched from the sideline due to injury. The LIU Post-commit ripped a two-run single up the middle to put the Kingsmen up 3-2,...
Travis Bruinsma Sharp, Connetquot Cruises Past Sachem North 9-3
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peN1RgGYPes] Connetquot coach Bob Ambrosini liked what he saw from his starting pitcher, defense and offense in Monday’s 9-3 victory over Sachem North. Coming from a coach that has 32 years of experience and ranks No. 3 in Suffolk County history in wins, it’s safe to say the Chiefs played some good baseball.“We hit the ball pretty well today I thought,” said Ambrosini. “We’ve kind of been inconsistent hitting the ball. I thought we’d hit the ball all season but we’ve kind of been up-and-down. Today we did well,” he said. Objectively, it is hard to nitpick the Chief’s offense. They have eclipsed eight runs on seven different occasions this season. They jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the b...
