by James Ryder Final: LI Elite take W 6-1. Here is Mike Cucinella (3 RBI) and Nick Koustulias (complete game, 0 ER) on their teams early success at the plate and how their team felt in their first game of the day: pic.twitter.com/GHwToYN8y9 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 24, 2020 Some heavy rain nearly put a damper on the Axcess Baseball Invitational at Moriches Complex Friday morning. It caused the 9 AM matchup between 15 U Long Island Elite and Freedom Baseball to play just 6 or the usual 7 innings. The rain, however, didn’t seem to be a factor for LI Elite, whose early offensive success and strong dominant pitching led to their 6-1 victory. The game began with LI at the plate. Leadoff hitter JD Decina drew a walk. He then stole second base before being driven in on Mike Cuc...

Roosevelt OF Idris Carter Is the Real Deal
Even in the age of social media, he’s managed to fly under-the-radar. And that’s just fine by him. Roosevelt 2020 grad Idris Carter is one of the best players on Long Island and is committed to Stony Brook. Two MLB teams have expressed interest in drafting him next June . Somehow most people don’t know much about him other than that he led Long Island in home runs in 2018 with 10 when he was just a sophomore. Playing baseball at Roosevelt is not exactly the American League East and playing football has limited his amount of time playing in front of big-time schools. Still, Stony Brook noticed him early in the process and he committed back in June. That came to fruition when Willie Carmona, who was a major piece of Stony Brook’s 2012 World Series run, met Carter at a...
