He proved to be prophetic, thanks in large part to his game-tying two-run double to left center field, which was followed by a walk-off wild pitch that scored Aaron Stander to deliver a dramatic 7-6 victory for Titans to send them into the semfinals of the East Coast Columbus Day Tournament tomorrow against the Islip Owls.

Cameron Mayer: Why I Chose Tufts
(Editor’s Note: Cameron Mayer is a 6’4 RHP that is a 2019 graduate of Syosset HS. He is one of the top power pitchers on Long Island. He recently committed to Tufts University in Massachusetts. The following words are his own…) The college baseball recruiting process is more than just going to showcases and tournaments. It is an emotional, frustrating process that brought together all aspects of my life in a way that nothing else had. Honestly, the process took a lot out of me and my family and I’m glad it’s over, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. In order to have success during this process, the support system you place around yourself is crucial. Having family and friends who encourage you and want nothing but the best for you is key. I was lucky to have...

The Titans defeated Long Island Baseball, 4-1, in a game where LIB only had two runners make it to second base. Incalcaterra pitched six innings of one-run ball, struck out eight, and allowed only three hits. After Incalcaterra struck out the side in the top of the first inning, the Titans didn’t waste any time putting runs on the board. In the bottom half of the inning, Phillip Krpata ledoff with a line drive base hit up the middle. Krpata then stole both second and third base. Two batters l...
Lights-Out Pitching & Warantz HR Lead 17u LI Titans to Victory
Player of the game Spencer Warantz humbly gives credit to his teammates and discusses their solid 2-0 team victory. Warantz delivered the biggest hit of the game with a Solo HR to lead off the 4th inning. pic.twitter.com/eCuQXWa4og — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 25, 2018 The sky was dark and gloomy. It seemed inevitable that rain would take a day of baseball away from the 17u LI Titans-Gutes and LI Baseball. Both teams were determined, however, to get one by Mother Nature and play their Boys of Summer matchup. Despite the weather, the Titans and LI Baseball put together a picturesque 7-inning game that embodied the beauty of the sport. A performance highlighted by powerful pitching outings. A wet ball seemed to have absolutely no effect on this game. LI Baseball starting pitch...

LI Titans Head Coach Paul Parsolano made that clear following his team’s 4-3 victory over Next Level Baseball on Tuesday evening at Mitchell Field. He brought in RHP Rob Milopsky (Rocky Point 2019) with runners on 1st & 2nd with 0 out in the 6th inning to protect a 4-3 lead after the previous four batters all reached base via hits to cut the lead to one-run. Milopsky came on and struck out the side in the sixth and cruised through the seventh inning with three ground outs. Milopsky stated that he knew when he came in with runners on he “needed to throw strikes to...
Joey Savino: Why I Chose Elon
Final: Connetquot 3, Newfield 0 WP: Joey Savino (2-hit shutout, 5 K) pic.twitter.com/RvAdDSwhUZ — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 14, 2018 (Editor’s Note: Joey Savino was voted Axcess League 2 MVP by our audience following his junior season in which he anchored the Connetquot T-Birds rotation and went 6-1 with a 0.67 ERA. He was outstanding when it mattered the most, firing a CG shutout against Newfield and again against Bay Shore the following week. He dominated at the New York State Games and parlayed that into accepting a scholarship to play for Elon University in North Carolina. The following words are his own…) Man, it all started at the Battle of the Border tournament when coach McGrath first saw me. Ever since then he went to every game I pitched. After the game...

LI Elite Edge Titans Molinaro at Stony Brook
The LI Elite 2020 South were set to face off against the LI Titans Molinaro in the 16U American division of the Boys of Summer on Thursday at 6 o’clock on Thursday evening. An hour prior to the planned start time, there was some doubt regarding whether or not the game would be played. From about 5:00 to 6:00, there was constant, heavy rainfall, with booming thunder as lightning constantly flashed across the sky. The sun soon emerged, and played its part in helping to dry up the field. At approximately 7 PM, the game finally started. Lorenzo Petraglia led off for the Elite, and he worked a lead off walk against Titans pitcher, Anthony Hernandez. Jason Labrador followed up with a single, putting Elite in a position to strike early. The following batter, Mike Sullivan, reached on a fielder’s ...

17 Miles, Two Counties Apart, One Passion: Baseball
by Matt Dzenawager The Carl Yastrzemski Award, given to the best player in Suffolk County, and the Diamond Award, given to the best positional player in Nassau County, are two of the most prestigious honors for Long Island High School baseball players. This year the Carl Yastrzemski Award was earned by Matt Hogan of Half Hollow Hills East High School and the Diamond Award was earned by Anthony D’Onofrio of Wantagh High School. Despite living in different counties, the game of baseball has brought Hogan and D’Onofrio together. The two have played travel ball together since they were 11 for the Long Island Titans organization and have forged a long-lasting, great friendship. “Everyday, every weekend we’ve had games and stuff,” Hogan said “baseball is more of a brotherhood bond.” Both D’Onofr...
LI Titans Cruise Past LI Baseball, 12-0
The Long Island Titans made quick work of LI Baseball, winning 12-0 in a mercy rule shortened three inning game. Coach Eric Joyner said that his team was focused on “having a good approach with two strikes, moving runners over, and having productive outs” adding that “we were able to put the ball in the gap, we ran the bases well, and stole some bases when we had the opportunity”. He went on to further say “when you do all the little things well, everything comes together”. The Titans sent Jimmy Mahoney to the mound, and it was somewhat of a shaky start for him. He gave up a leadoff single, followed up by a walk. He then got the next batter to weakly line out. With one out, both base runners stole, putting themselves in scoring position. However, Mahoney worked his way out of trouble with ...
Will Feil Commits to Albany
One of the top bats in the class of 2018 is now off the board with Will Feil (Wheatley 2018) committing to the University at Albany this evening. The third baseman with a sweet left-handed swing really rose his stock with a tremendous 2017 campaign in which he led Wheatley to the Class B Nassau County Championship over Oyster Bay. He went 3-for-3 in that game with three separate RBI hits. He also performed well this summer in the tournament and showcase circuit. Albany has shown an affinity towards Long Island players over the years with several of the top players choosing to attend there; notably Stephen Woods (Hills East ’13, San Francisco Giants draft pick). Feil will be with us in our inaugural Home Run Derby on September 9 at NYIT for Team Fontana.
