Syosset Returns One Varsity Player But Plenty of Talent
Syosset was one of the many team on Long Island that were really impacted by the cancellation of the high school season. They had 12 seniors and a number of younger players that were quality players and there was plenty of reason for optimism around the program. “We were really excited last year – it was a really good group,” said Head Coach Tom Morritt who took over the program in 2019.

Recapping the BCP Pitchers & Catchers Showcase

Before the game started, it was evident this was going to be a game of inches. The reason for that was because of the stellar pitching match up. Syosset called upon Tufts-commit Cameron Mayer to take the mound, while Farmingdale started ace Justin Rosner. Farmingdale got to Mayer first in the second inning, as Robbie Manetta delivered an RBI single to put them on the board. Mayer struggled a little in the early innings, but settled in as the game went on. In the bottom of the 3rd, Kev...
