They defeated Copiague‘s highly-touted LHP by the score of 10-0, behind Eddie Bassett‘s arm and Ryan Mahnke and Brian Honka’s bats. Parra, who is committed to San Jacinto Community College, was far from disappointing. He struck out eight batters over three innings and touched 92 MPH with his heater in the first inning. He was overpowering, but Centereach did work his pitch count up early. He walked one in the first, and another in the second. The Centereach Cougars got on the board in the thi...

Colin Shashaty Leads Northport to 8-2 Victory Over Copiague
Colin Shashaty has a big day at the plate and is our @BsbLifestyle101 Player of the Game. He spoke about the win pic.twitter.com/WMRcAV6TzE — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 25, 2019 The Shashaty teams had a field day this afternoon in an 8-2 victory over Copiague. Colin and his brother, Ryan, each went 2-for-3 with Colin providing the game-tying two-run double in the bottom of the third, and Ryan scoring three runs and stealing a base for the Tigers. “I told Liam Fodor, ‘settle down, keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll get some runs for you,” said Colin. That’s precisely what his team did. They were able to overcame an early 2-0 deficit in which it looked like it could be a short day for sophomore RHP Liam Fodor, but the game took a turn a...
Who is Franklin Parra?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5yVp_42nMk Every once in a while a kid will burst onto the scene and make a name for himself in a short period of time. While most of the elite players are identified as soon as they enter high school, others develop later or struggle to put it all together. Copiague LHP Franklin Parra fits this latter description. The flame-throwing southpaw has been the topic of discussion this summer ever since his dynamite showing in Georgia. He has since dominated Long Island hitters, averaging 2.5 Ks per inning on the mound while also compiling a 1.250 OPS at the plate. He certainly has a chance to get drafted next season. I had the chance to watch him play yesterday and it lived up to the hype. The Dominican-born pitcher struck out three over two shutout innings whil...
