Walk-Off suicide squeeze by Tyler Schrimpf and Farmingdale wins it 2-1 in 9 innings ! pic.twitter.com/WRVLyyDZuc — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 23, 2019 The games were slated to be nine and seven innings, but that was not nearly enough to determine today’s winners. These are the two premier teams in the Skyline Conference at the moment, and the matchup more than lived up to the billing with a 13-inning and a 9-inning game, with the teams splitting the DH. Here’s how it went down: Game 1: This game appeared like the Rams would be in control all game. They scored two runs just three batters into the game, with RBI hits by Vinny Rice and Steven Burke, but that was all they would get for the game. USMMA starter John Kelly Jr. went into lockdown mode the rest of the ga...

They showed they were ready to go, winning the first game 6-2. Farmingdale immediately got things started in the 1st, when a double-steal plated freshman, Patrick Leach, giving the Rams their first run of the season. The Rams were aggressive all day on the base paths, stealing nine in the first game. Shortstop Brian Perez would immediately follow up with an RBI single to give the Rams a 2-0 lead. The Rams would threaten but not score until the fourth, when they busted the game o...
Q & A with Josh Shapiro, CEO of Baseball Lifestyle 101
All college athletes are faced with the rigors of maintaining their grades while also fulfilling their commitment to their team and performing to the best of their abilities. Josh Shapiro, who played for Farmingdale State College in 2016, had a unique circumstance that made his work-life balance even more difficult. As the founder of Baseball Lifestyle 101, he was tasked with building a company as a freshman in college. This company had enjoyed a tremendous growth during the same time that he was trying to get the Rams to win a Skyline Conference title. He wound up performing well on the field, batting .272 with a .337 OBP over 92 at bats, but ultimately decided that while his future involved baseball, it wouldn’t involve playing the game. Below is an exclusive interview with the CEO...
Farmingdale and Old Westbury Split a Tightly-Contested Doubleheader
Conference opponents Farmingdale State and SUNY Old Westbury split two vastly different–but dramatic–games in a doubleheader today. Farmingdale out-slugged Westbury 10-9 in game one, while Westbury won game two, a pitching duel by the score of 2-1 on a walk-off walk. Game one began as a pitching duel, Matthew Constantine and Trey Pizzutello shut down both side for three innings before the bats broke through. An error in the fourth allowed Farmingdale’s first two runs to come across, but a single by Christopher Reilly and a two-run homer from Domenic Palumbo got the Rams halfway to their final score. Westbury came right back scoring four in the fourth on singles from Paul Rapoli, Carlos Balmaceda and Jesse Matos. They even took a two-run lead off Rapoli’s third singl...
Farmingdale State Splits a Wild DH with Mount Saint Vincent’s
By Jesse Borek FARMINGDALE, N.Y.—–Much like the elongated winter within context of Saturday’s pristine conditions, whatever happened on Saturday afternoon between Farmingdale State and Mount Saint Vincent’s gives the brain permanent sunburn. In the opener of the doubleheader, the Dolphins from the Riverdale section of the Bronx laid a beating on the Farmingdale Rams, 19-8. If possible, it felt as if the score was even more inflated than that. Just to numb the senses and remind us all of baseball’s depravity, the Rams went on to win the backend of the twin bill 2-0. Because, of course they did. The numbers are gaudy—for everyone. There were six combined errors, 29 hits, 27 runs, 15 walked batters, and 20 men left on base. Farmingdale would put up a three-spot in the first, j...
