By Jesse Borek PATCHOGUE, NY — Staying undefeated in Skyline Conference play thus far this season, the St. Joseph’s Golden Eagles stunned the Old Westbury Panthers to sweep the doubleheader on the back of a four-run, ninth-inning comeback in the opener. After the shock of scoring four runs in their final at-bat in the nine-inning opener, the Golden Eagles would finish off the Panthers 4-1 in the backend of the cap, moving to 5-0 in Conference play. Aided by two errors, timely hitting, and a ton of wind, St. Joseph’s stormed back in the bottom of the ninth to win on senior Anthony Andreani’s walk-off base hit.

By Jesse Borek The good: they managed to get in both legs of the doubleheader this afternoon at the Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex in Westbury. The bad: the rain that was rumored to hit the area did indeed soak those in attendance, making for less than ideal conditions. Ultimately, the Old WestburyPanthers would split their two-game day against the St. Joseph’s (Brooklyn) Bears, winning the opener 7-1 in seven innings, and dropping the backend, 3-2 in eight innings. “Timmy was big for us today,” said assistant coach Lou Bernardi, “Good to get the first one out of the way.” Tossing his first complete game of the season in the opener was senior ace Tim Ingram. Going the distance, Ingram would allow only a single run (albeit, an unearned one), while giving up five hits, walking none, a...
