Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League

by Chris Sacchi After a 17-1 loss on Tuesday, the Westhampton Aviators bounced back with a 10-0 victory over the North Fork Ospreys. Aviators starter Erubial Candelario pitched 5 innings of scoreless baseball, with two strikeouts, and was supported by his offense from the start. Westhampton scratched a run across in the first inning against Ospreys starter Justin Baeyens, as Ryan Ford scored Bailey Peterson on line-drive single into right field, his first of four RBI’s on the day. Aviators Lead off man Dan Franchi came around to score on a wild pitch in the third, set up by productive outs from EJ Cumbo and Peterson, allowing Franchi to reach third and later come around to score. After three innings and two runs, Baeyans was replaced with Frankie Guliano out of the Osprey’s bullpen. Gulian...

The Long Island Road Warriors of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League were Tuesday evening as they came-from-behind to defeat the Southampton Breakers 8-4 at Bellport High School. Southampton falls to 1-9 with the loss. In the top of the second inning, the Breakers struck first for two runs off of Road Warriors starter, Liam Pulsipher of Stony Brook. Southampton centerfielder Justice Thompson (Northwest Florida State) led the inning off with a single to center, followed by Princeton second baseman Eric Marasheski’s single to right. Right Fielder Isaiah Winikur of Towson singled to load the bases but he attempted to advance to an occupied second base, and was tagged for the first out of the inning. Designated hitter Jacob Bassil (Williams College) drove both runs in but was stranded at t...

by Christopher Sacchi Sunday night’s Hamptons League game between the Southampton Breakers and the Westhampton Aviators was ultimately decided by the two starting pitchers, except maybe not the way most would have thought coming in. Getting the starting nod for the visiting Breakers was right hander Joe Valentino, whose freshman season at Suffolk County Community College speak was remarkable: an 8-0 record in nine starts that featured five complete games along with 92 strikeouts and a 1.12 ERA in 48.2 innings pitched. Add in five scoreless innings of one-hit ball in his first Hamptons League start, and Valentino appeared ready to continue pitching outstanding baseball. On the other end, Westhampton sent right hand pitcher Harrison Cohen to the mound in the top of the first inning. While Va...

The St. John’s rising sophomore picked up the win on opening day with 5 innings of one-hit shutout ball with seven strikeouts. Hendry pitched five innings today, too, but not after giving up five runs in a 10-1 loss. The Aviators jumped on Hendry early; the top of the order of Dan Frenchi, EJ Cumbo, and...
