Adelphi opened up their 2021 season on a sun-soaked day at William J. Bonomo Field and to make things even better for them – came away with a 15-0 victory over Felician. “We have been very diligent with being conscious of Covid,” said HC Dom Scala. “That tells me a lot about the mindset that the captains and veterans have instilled in the team. We had 1 practice outside and then intersquad. Had a pleasantly surprising game. I was feeling good going into today. Told them let play smash mouth baseball and they did,&#...

Josh Rovner is anchoring the rotation. The senior did not allow an earned run over 3 starts (18.2 IP) this past season and is on the radar of MLB scouts pic.twitter.com/8kI7e2nAB1 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 6, 2020 Dom Scala has seen plenty of baseball over the years as a minor league player, bullpen catcher for the New York Yankees, advanced scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates and now head coach of Adelphi entering his 17th season, but no amount of baseball could prepare him for what 2020 has brought us. Baseball amidst a global pandemic is unlike anything we’ve seen but the Adelphi skipper has been fortunate that the team is on track to begin the upcoming season close to full strength thanks to the protocols that were put in place by the school. “We had to su...
Adelphi Overcomes the Flu Bug, Powers Past Molloy, 10-5
Adelphi Head Coach Dom Scala discusses how his team overcame the flu bug and their 10-5 victory over Molloy today pic.twitter.com/0mFiNLhEG8 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 19, 2019 Over the past week, several members of the Adelphi Panthers have been relegated to the bench due to flu-like symptoms.
