The Titans wasted zero time, putting up two runs in the first inning which was already more than they were able to compile in the previous game. They did not look, and they were able to capture the critical 5-3 win against first place Kellenberg to split the series. Kellenberg sent junior Matt Reiter to the mound against Holy Trinity’s Gabe Klaritkaitis. After a scoreles...

The Titans finished their 2022 season with a combined 15-6 overall record while sweeping or splitting 6 of their 7 league series while going 4-2 against the city division and a playoff berth. Coach Dan Luisi feels that there is a lot of firepower on this roster and is very excited to get going with the season. “This team is filled with really skilled baseball players, many of them will continue their baseball career at great col...

They took a step forward in 2022 and were near the top of the CHSAA standings all season with Chaminade, but ultimately they ran out of steam in the postseason. They currently have a plethora of talented seniors such as Sebastian Velasquez, Brian Zweigbaum, Nich...
Where Are They Now Powered by the BK7 Brand: Alex Robinson
When Long Island baseball fans refer to the “glory days” of the NSCHSAA, they are most likely referring to the 2009-2012 period in which it seemed like every team had 5-7 Division-I players. During that time, Holy Trinity won two of those years – led by southpaw workhorse Alex Robinson. The big lefty with the high leg kick and overpowering fastball was named the New York Gatorade Player of the Year, posting some gaudy numbers on the bump. He went 7-0 with a 0.41 ERA with 109 strikeouts over 51 innings. He allowed just 14 hits and walked 22 batters. He also fired a couple no-hitters and won Game 1 of the Championship series against St. Anthony’s. When I asked how anyone ever got a hit off him with a low-to-mid 90s fastball in a wood bat league he chuckled and said, &...

Holy Trinity LHP Sadier Vicioso on the 5-1 victory over Kellenberg pic.twitter.com/dYfwuBwjZB — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 20, 2022 What a difference a year makes. Holy Trinity won 2 league games in 2021 and after yesterday’s convincing road win at Kellenberg, they are 8-2. But these past two weeks haven’t just been wins, they defeated two of the best pitchers on Long Island in Kyle Chase and Andrew Koshy. Two flamethrowing Division-I commits that would’ve given them fits last year – both wins for the Titans who are led by their own ace, Sadier Vicioso. Vicioso, a southpaw, with big game acumen improves to 4-0 on the season after the 5-1 win. In the postgame interview, you can hear the tone that the Holy Trinity players have adopted. They are tired o...
Holy Trinity’s Young Core Hopes to Lead Bounceback Season
by Mike Anderson Sometimes, you’ve got to go through some growing pains. That’s exactly what Holy Trinity High School Varsity Baseball head coach Dan Luisi and his club did last year. The team struggled overall in a tough CHSAA conference, which featured dominant teams like Kellenberg and Chaminade. Despite a last place finish, Holy Trinity gained something invaluable towards their future: experience. Luisi said in an interview with Axcess Baseball that Holy Trinity went into the 2021 season with a very young varsity team by design, as they were starting seven sophomores and one freshman in their lineup by season’s end. These players have now experienced the competitive nature of their opponents, as well as the level of varsity baseball in general, something that statistics cannot weigh. B...
Holy Trinity Building Foundation For Successful Future
by Eric Belyea Holy Trinity and the rest of the CHSAA are heading into one of the most anticipated seasons it has had in a while.

Who Was The Best Team of The 2010s?
When it comes to being considered the best–the bar is set high. Over the course of the past 10 seasons, there have been undefeated seasons, there have been back-to-back state champs, there have been pitching staffs loaded with Division-I talent and pro pitchers. But there can only be one team considered the best. I have watched a lot of baseball, but I didn’t trust my own instinct so I solicited the help of some trusted sources to put together my definitive list of the best teams of the decade. To make it a bit easier, we narrowed it down to teams that have won a Long Island Championship, because plenty of talented teams have made it to the finish line only to come up short. We also did not list any school more than once on purpose because many of the back-to-back champions featured the sa...

Nick Hagstrom got the start for the Titans. They were coming off an upset win over No. 3 St. Dominic last Wednesday night. Hagstrom worked around a two-out single by Larkin in the first inning to put up a zero, but the high-powered lineup of the Flyers could not ...
Led by 10 Seniors, Holy Trinity Poised For Bounceback Season
by Zevan Shuster Despite excellent competition in the Catholic League, Holy Trinity has both the talent and the experience to compete with just about anybody. They are coming off a tough season, but they were able to win a first-round playoff game at Mitchel Field against St. Dominic before dropping their next two. “I’m really excited for the upcoming season. I think that, this being my third year now as the leader of the program, I think we’ve kind of built the culture of what it takes to win and what it takes to be successful, not just individually, but as a group,” head coach Dan Luisi said. In order for the culture to be where it needs to be, and for the team’s chemistry to come along with it, experience, and veteran leadership play a huge role. “One of our strengths is going to be o...
