by Ethan Berch The Elite strike first, Alex Aramini rips an RBI single and it is joe 1-0 Elite after one! pic.twitter.com/NqU3ts4JD5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 8, 2020 It’s rare to get a nice sunny and warm day in November, but when it happens, it’s something to savor. Here at MacArthur Highschool, the 12u LI Titans faced off against the South Shore Elite in a league matchup. This age group will continue play until next weekend before finishing up their fall season. Joe Farina got the start for the Elite. Joe is built strong and throws the ball with great velocity at such a young age. Titans hitters struggled to even catch up to fastball and he didn’t even allow a single hit until the fourth inning. Southpaw Logan Vogel was the starter for the Titans. Loga...

by Ethan Berch ANTONIO LARI DELIVERS!! WALK OFF HOMERUN WINS IT AND SENDS TEAM FRANSICO INTO THE PLAYOFFS! pic.twitter.com/sahJx5El3y — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 31, 2020 Halloween Day and early morning baseball sounds as sweet as candy! It was as cold as it gets for an October morning here at Allen Park in Farmingdale. The 9u Farmingdale Greendogs took on New York Longhorns-Black in an East Coast matchup. The winner of this game would presumably clinch a spot in next week’s playoffs! Antonio Lari got the nod for the Longhorns. Lari was a big kid who threw the ball with high velocity. Little-to-no kids were able to catch up with his fastball. The Greendogs struck first in the top of the first inning after three straight walks and hit batsmen. However, Lari struck o...

This edition features the LI Storm taking on the CN Rebels in a league play battle. Even at such a young age, baseball never fails to excite!

In the second inning, the final run he gave up came on an RBI groundout which had the Rebels leading 2-0. Jake Juliano got the start for the CN Rebels. Jake worked with a lead early but caught himself in trouble in the thir...

Here at Cantiague Park, the 10u LI Jr. Ducks took on the 10u Farmingdale Greendogs. This may have been a low-scoring one, but just as exciting as it gets. Colin Johnson got the start for the Ducks. The right handed pitcher came out with a fastball-curveball combination which was nasty. He forced a lot of groundouts and ended the first inning with a strikeout leaving a runner at third base. Aiden Simonetti was the starter for the Greendogs. Aiden threw hard and kept plenty of the Ducks hitters off balance. The...

Vin Juliano pitched five innings and recorded the win pic.twitter.com/19WUYH3yiy — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 10, 2020 Baseball is a team game but sometimes all it takes is one or two players to carry the team on their backs. On this afternoon, it was the bat of TJ Meizoso and the arm of Vin Juliano that was the driving force behind a 9-5 victory for the CN Rebels over the Massapequa Cyclones in a 10u Columbus Day Tournament game. Juliano pitched five innings, also drove in a run at the plate, and Meizoso drove in five runs at the plate – including a three-run shot in the first inning to open up a 5-0 lead in which they would not relinquish. Juliano worked around a leadoff single in the top of the first inning by Danny Fregara to throw a scoreless inning. His offens...
Huge Offensive Performance Propels Titans to 19-2 Victory
Coach Kyle Johnson on the victory for the Titans @EcybTournaments pic.twitter.com/G5dB0ni1bp — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 10, 2020 To beat the 10u Titans-Anderson, you need to pay close to a perfect game. That means playing clean defensively, not allowing any walks and keeping their speedy runners at bay. That was not the case today, as they cruised to a 19-2 run-rule victory in the Columbus Day Tournament over Sharks Baseball Academy. Coach Kyle said, “From top to bottom, the whole lineup hit,” said the skipper and Stony Brook junior. “From Irrizary all the way down to Wonderland, they did their jobs and gave good at bats all game. I think they did a good job of putting the ball in place consistently and not letting up even though the score got out of h...
RVC Tigers Sweep Double Header
And that’s the game, the Tigers win it due to mercy rule again! 10-1 the final in 5 innings! pic.twitter.com/9D85uzXMjb — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) September 26, 2020 Bombs away at Wantagh County Park! In an 10u East Coast double header match up between the LI Titans and RVC Tigers, it was ALL Tigers all night. Offensively and defensively the Tigers dominated in a couple games that didn’t end up all that close. Game one went off to an insanely quick start when John Hawthrone stepped up to the dish against Titans starter Troy Coupet and did some damage early. John smoked an opposite field inside-the-park two run home run. That will not be the last time you hear that name in this article. The damage continued to pour on for this Tigers team, in the second inning, similar result, t...

Long Island Baseball Powers Way To 12-1 Victory
Although pitching wins championships, great offense can get you there. The 12U Long Island Baseball used their impressive lineup to power their way to a 12-1 victory over B1000 Seminoles-Kondak on Friday night at Cantiague Park. With the victory, they will now face Body Armor Titans on Saturday in the semifinals. The victory came as redemption after the Seminoles captured both games during the regular season. A.J. Wayne got things going right away for LIB with a triple to right field in the top of the first. After T.J. Bradford was hit by a pitch, Nick Kramer‘s RBI ground out to shortstop scored Wayne to get them on the board. Wayne was the starting pitcher for LIB and he was masterful. He fired a 1-2-3 first inning with two strikeouts to allow his offense to get back to work –...

by Jared Valluzzi Coach Ken Noe on his teams big time victory pic.twitter.com/Ky6h2D3A4a — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) August 20, 2020 The 11U Body Armor Titans have been one of the best teams this summer on Long Island and it showed when they went into action against the South Shore Chiefs on Wednesday night. The Chiefs, who are another team that’s been solid, went into the game knowing they had to score going against a tough Titans team. They were held to two runs the first time they met the Titans but played a very tough game against them. It was the high-powered Titans lineup up to bat in the top of the first inning. Andrew Noe the speedy lead off guy got on base via walk but would then steal second right away. Noe would eventually move over to third base on a ground out brin...
