Jordan Welch’s Walk-Off HR Propels Farmingdale to Dramatic Comeback Win
🚨 Sophomore Jordan Welch hits an opposite field walk-off HR to complete the comeback win for Farmingdale and deliver Massapequa their first loss of the season 🚨 pic.twitter.com/FK8STX7jor — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 2, 2022 Twice in the last two weeks the Farmingdale Dalers needed a big hit in the bottom of the 7th and twice they got one from sophomore stud Jordan Welch. While the first was a bouncing single through the hole to beat Port Washington, this was came in a considerably larger moment against rival Massapequa. The sophomore came to the plate with one out in the 7th inning in a 4-4 game, and he went the opposite way, driving one just over the right field fence for a solo walk-off HR to send his team into a frenzy and delivering Massapequa their first loss of the sea...
Ken Kortright State Farm Game of the Week: Jordan Welch’s Walk-Off Single Keeps Farmingdale Undefeated
Trailing 5-3 entering the bottom of the 7th, Farmingdale comes storming back to win on a walk-off 2-R single by sophomore Jordan Welch to remain undefeated at 8-0! pic.twitter.com/saG202VjJ3 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 21, 2022 Sometimes you need a little bit of luck. Trailing 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh, Farmingdale staged a rally with the game-winning hit coming on an 0-2 single through the left side of the infield by sophomore Jordan Welch. The Dalers shocked Port Washington, 6-5, who had led from the first inning of the game until the last batter. Farmingdale improved to 8-0 on the season. Welch, who has been swinging a hot bat, fell behind 0-2 in the count, but he noted that since Port Washington plays on a turf infield, he was focused on putting the ball in play...
Despite Graduating Starting Rotation from 2021, Farmingdale Well Stocked for 2022
By: Daniel Lopes After an 11-5 season that ended in the playoffs against Oceanside, Farmingdale and head coach Frank Tassielli hope to remain near the top of a highly competitive conference in 2022. “You look at a few of our conferences and divisions in Nassau County and there’s not many [teams] where you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s a cakewalk for that team,” Tassielli said. “Parity is alive and guys are working hard.” However, if Farmingdale is going to succeed, it’s going to be without most of their pitching rotation from last year, as multiple players graduated. One such player is Drew Alameda (St. Thomas Aquinas). Alameda was a quality player on both sides of the ball, hitting .410 with four home runs and 21 RBIs while pitching to the tune of a 0.81 ERA in 17 ⅓ innings pitched. Another pitche...

With one of the best pitchers on Long Island, Andrew Alameda, getting the start for the Dalers. Over the course of the first four innings, Alameda only allowed one base runner on a walk to start the game. The Dalers took advantage of two consecutive Oceanside errors in the first inning, when Nick Napolitiano plated the first two runs of the game with a double. It was all Farmingdale early. The offense did not stop piling on early in the game. The Dalers plated five more runs over the next two innings. Of those five runs, four of them we...
Looking Back on an Insane 2019 Baseball Season
Here we are at the official beginning of the 2021 high school baseball season. But it’s a good time to look back at how far we’ve come over the past couple years. It’s easy to forget with all the negativity and uncertainty in 2020 that we were actually coming off one of the most remarkable seasons you can imagine. Forget about the incredible about of no-hitters, walk-offs, upsets and great performances of the high school season – let’s just look at the local college programs. Division-I: Stony Brook captured their sixth America East title with a come-from-behind 7-5 victory over Binghamton. Chris Hamilton had the go-ahead hit in the sixth inning. Reliever Brandon Bonanno fired the final 3.2 innings of relief with four strikeouts to slam the door on the victory...
Fall Ball Series Powered by East Coast S & P: Farmingdale State College
Joe Wolf (Division 2017) will be counted on as one of the weekend starters pic.twitter.com/vlLICujQ15 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 19, 2020 Covid impacted every team in some way, but for Farmingdale State, it was especially cruel. The Rams, – who entered the 2020 season as the reigning Skyline Conference champs – had only gotten to play five games on the season. They had flown down to Auburndale, FLA for their annual spring training trip with their sites set on repeating as champs. “We were in Florida when we got the call from our Athletic Director,” said Head Coach Keith Osik. “We had just gotten to the condos and I told the kids to go to the pool and relax. I was with Anthony Zitaglio and that was when Rudy Gobert tested positive and they p...
Looking Back On 2011
I’ve written about 2009 and 2010 in exhausting detail and I thought it was time to do the same for 2011. Admittedly, this is going to be much tougher to get through as I look back on those embarrassing memories. I’ve never felt as helpless on a mound as I did during my sophomore year of college and it’s the type of humiliation that is reserved especially for pitchers and comedians – those who have all eyes on you. It’s nine years later and even though I have moved on and into a new chapter in my life, it’s still cringeworthy to re-live those memories. It’s something I very rarely talk about, but it’s therapeutic to express it opposed to suppress it. So sit back and read about the most humbling and in some cases, humiliating, moments of my lif...
OTD: Farmingdale Cruises Into the Semifinals
Farmingdale is onto the semifinals! FINAL: Farmingdale 8 Calhoun 1 WP – Justin Rosner (Complete game) pic.twitter.com/4sD41oRuzC — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 20, 2018 For the second time in the past ten days, Farmingdale was on the brink of elimination. Again, they came out on top. The Dalers defeated Calhoun by a score of 8-1 and secured a spot in the Class AA semifinals. When the pressure is at its climax, Justin Rosner always finds a way to stay calm. Once again, his best stuff came in an elimination game. The sophomore finished the day going the distance, allowing only one earned run while striking out nine. “Everything was working for me, my slider I like to keep them off balance to start them out and then come in hard with the fastball,” said Rosner. “Even if I’m ...
Which Restaurants Do Long Island Athletes Miss The Most?
Like most people, I enjoy food. Not being able to dine-in at my favorite restaurants is frustrating. I’m definitely looking forward to once the stay-at-home order is lifted and I can go to Tap Room and The Meetball Place and Ciao Baby’s and Hummus Mediterranean and Brook House Deli the rest of the amazing places we have on Long Island. So yesterday I put up a simple question on Instagram which asked “which restaurant do you miss the most?” and here’s the responses. Some were asked to explain what they miss about it and here’s what they said. Chris Amato (St. Joseph’s) – Avocado’s Why: Avocado’s is a small Mexican American takeout restaurant located on Lakeland Avenue in Bohemia and has some of the best burritos on Long Island. Bei...
OTD: Justin Rosner Fires Complete Game Over Massapequa
Final: Farmingdale 4, Massapequa 1 WP: Justin Rosner (CG, 7 K) pic.twitter.com/kCKD7ax023 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 15, 2019 After a rough opening series against Oceanside last week, the Farmingdale Dalers were looking to get back in rhythm, as they took on rival Massapequa. The Dalers got just what they needed from their ace Justin Rosner, against a team that put up 71 runs last week against Hempstead. Rosner faced a tough Massapequa lineup and he was dominant as he struck out 7 and only allowed 1 earned run through 7 innings, in a 4-1 victory. From the start, it was obvious that Justin Rosner and Farmingdale were in control of this game. After a scoreless top half of the first, Massapequa had a runner in scoring position with two outs in the bottom of the first for UNC...
OTD: Robbie Keane’s Big Day Gives Farmingdale 13-9 Comeback Victory Over Port Washington
Robbie Keane‘s played through sleet, through rain and through snow–but nothing quite like the wind today. The senior SS had a huge day at the plate in Farmingdale‘s 13-9 victory over previously undefeated Port Washington. He admitted it was aided–at least in part–by a 45+ MPH sustained wind through out the day. He smacked a game-tying three-run home run in the fifth inning to right to even the score, 8-8, and then the go-ahead two-run triple to left field to give Farmingdale a lead of 10-9. “It helped and hurt us a lot,” he said following the game. “In the field we had a lot of balls just swirling in the air–lot of balls we should’ve caught just dropped and it helped us a little when we were batting–balls just carried. I’ve never played in anything this bad,” he added. The pitching match ...
On This Day In Axcess History: Farmingdale Wins Thriller On Walk-Off Squeeze
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 (Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on March 24, 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 st...
