Connetquot Captures Suffolk AA Championship

Connetquot is the 2019 Suffolk AA Champs ! They will face Massapequa in the Long Island Championship on Saturday pic.twitter.com/DVn38w3IzF — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 4, 2019 When Connetquot made a deep postseason run into the Suffolk AA Final Four last season, many felt that they had overachieved. Everyone except the players, who felt they should’ve won it all. One year later, they have climbed the mountain top and captured the AA County Championship for the first time since 2015. They did so with a 14-1 victory against No.1 seed Ward Melville and ace Max Nielsen. The T-Birds and their high-octane offense had been held in check in Game 1 by Ryan Hynes, but defeated Ethan Farino yesterday. They faced UCONN-commit Max Nielsen, who was coming off an 18-K master piece o...

Connetquot One Win Away From Suffolk AA Finals

Alex Ungar went 3-for-3 and Derek Yalon drove in 3 runs including a 2-R HR in Connetquot’s 7-2 victory pic.twitter.com/0pMIl6xXBo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2019 With the forecast calling for thunder and rain, there was some doubt whether this game would be played today. It turns out the only thunder came from the bat of Connetquot LF Derek Yalon, who crushed a two-run HR and also ripped an RBI single in the first inning which game the T-Birds an early 1-0 lead. With ace Joe Savino on the mound, they didn’t need much offense today as the T-Birds took Game 1 of the best-of-three Suffolk AA Semifinals over Longwood, 7-2. The Elon-commit making his final start before next week’s MLB Draft was outstanding once again. He carried a shutout into the 7th innin...

Connetquot Coming Into 2019 Looking Like A Title Favorite

Our @DigmiNation Player of the Game is Joey Savino who fired a 2-hit shutout over Newfield in a 3-0 victory. He needed only 75 pitches. They will face Bay Shore tomorrow #TipYourCap pic.twitter.com/kTvsHkthLo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 14, 2018 After a loss in the county semifinals a year ago, Connetquot enters 2019 hungrier than ever, especially having their season end on their home turf, 3-2, to Eastport-South Manor. Not only are they eager for a chance at revenge, but they come into the season loaded. They return arguably the top pitching staff on the island with a pair of Division-I commits and a couple others with scholarships in their future. “The elimination to Eastport-South Manor still hurts and it is a rallying cry for a team that’s loaded with talent,...

Eastport-South Manor Holds Off Connetquot; Advances to To First Class AA Final Since ’12

Eastport-South Manor is headed to the Suffolk Class AA Finals with a 3-2 victory ! pic.twitter.com/qfosu0J54T — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 25, 2018 Six years ago it was on this same field that the Eastport-South Manor Sharks had a chance to win a county championship against Connetquot. They had better fortunes this time around as they are now one step closer to accomplishing that feat. They held off Connetquot’s late rally to win 3-2 and they have a date with West Islip on Sunday. Starting pitcher Alex Doskoez was efficient and used his defense all game, striking out five batters in a complete game victory. He proved his mettle on a number of occasions, stranding runners in scoring position in the first, fifth and sixth innings and seventh innings; exemplifying the clas...

Bay Shore’s Magical Run Ends, Falls to Connetquot Again

Our @DigmiNation Player of the Game: Matt Brown-Eiring, who went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBIs, along with one and a third innings of scoreless pitching to close out the game. pic.twitter.com/0WmyEkyk3x — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 23, 2018 Bay Shore (13-12) came into this year’s Suffolk AA playoffs as the 17th seed with seemingly low expectations. The Marauders made noise early, taking wins against top-ranked Smithtown East and #9 Connetquot (16-8). However, their unexpected success came to a halt this week. They lost their second matchup with Connetquot on Monday, then two teams played for a third time on Wednesday with a spot in the semi-finals on the line. The T-Birds were able to advance with a 5-1 victory. Pitching was the story of this game early. We saw a rematch...

Jared & Derek Yalon Commit to Stony Brook

It is rare that a set of twins would both be as athletic and talented as the Yalon twins. What’s even more rare is that they both would be interested in playing college ball at the same school and the interest would be reciprocated by the school. Jared & Derek Yalon, both Connetquot 2019, announced yesterday that they verbally committed to Stony Brook University. Jared, a lefty that plays first base, was named All-County as a sophomore. Derek plays left field and bats righty. They both stated that they originally became interested in attending Stony Brook in 2012 when the Sea Wolves made an appearance on ESPN playing LSU in the Super Regionals. If there was any question how important qualifying for the College World Series is for a program, look no further than that statement as ...

Brian Morrisey Fires Two-Hitter With 14 Ks Against Connetquot

One of the signs of a great pitcher is dominating the top competition. Brian Morrisey certainly did that today in Commack’s 7-0 shutout over League 2 rival Connequot. The Stony Brook-commit struck out 14 batters, allowing only two hits, walking two and hitting one batter as the Cougars improved to 4-0 on the season after last week’s sweep of Central Islip. He was fired up, displaying tons of raw emotion after his clutch strikeouts. “I just wanted the team to be pumped as much as I was,” said the aXcess pre-season top 30 player. “First series was more of an easy sweep, we had some fun but this series we wanted to come back out really good,” he added. He impressed the bevy of MLB scouts that were in attendance with advanced feel for three pitches and ...
