Recap of Antonia Agostinelli Memorial Tournament
Walk off hit gives Team Citius the championship 2-1 ! pic.twitter.com/m4tfxEvrVw — Axcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) October 16, 2017 The 11th annual Antonia Agostinelli Memorial Tournament was a tremendous success. The two champions were Long Island Baseball and Team Citius. I bounced back-and-forth monitoring both games tonight. LIB put on a great offensive showing, defeating LI Storm by the score of 9-5, while Team Citius defeated Next Level Baseball 2-1 on a walk off hit by Adam Conte. Here are some other of my takeaways from the weekend: On Friday, Next Level defeated Motus Academy 4-1 behind a stellar performance by Ryan Martin (St. Francis Prep 2019) on the mound and another great offensive game from Aidan Larkin (Chaminade 2019). They played a clean game with strong defense an...

Jake Pierre walks it off with his fifth hit of the game ! Final: Titans 4, CT Bombers 3 pic.twitter.com/QmwZvDPBKR — Axcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) September 18, 2017 Jake Pierre stepped up with the bases loaded, having already compiled four hits on the evening; but he was not content. “I just wanted to win the game for my teammates, trying to go 5-for-5 and do something special for once.” The Sachem North junior certainly did that, as he blooped a single over the third baseman’s head to send the winning run home and propel the LI Titans to a 4-3 win over the Connecticut Bombers to take first place in the 18U Northeast Elite tournament at Baseball Heaven. The sweet-swinging lefty had put the Titans up 1-0 in the first inning on an RBI double to score Phil K...

Who is Franklin Parra?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5yVp_42nMk Every once in a while a kid will burst onto the scene and make a name for himself in a short period of time. While most of the elite players are identified as soon as they enter high school, others develop later or struggle to put it all together. Copiague LHP Franklin Parra fits this latter description. The flame-throwing southpaw has been the topic of discussion this summer ever since his dynamite showing in Georgia. He has since dominated Long Island hitters, averaging 2.5 Ks per inning on the mound while also compiling a 1.250 OPS at the plate. He certainly has a chance to get drafted next season. I had the chance to watch him play yesterday and it lived up to the hype. The Dominican-born pitcher struck out three over two shutout innings whil...
LI Titans Giaco Come Out On Top In Pitchers Duel, 1-0, Over Team Reyes
An extremely even pitching/defense match up made for an intense seventh inning in Boys of Summer 17u American division play. The Titans would score a go-ahead run off a double from incoming senior outfielder, Tony Figliarulo. The go-ahead run would come after a leadoff single from leadoff hitter, Marc Birbiglia, would be extinguished by a double play with a bang-bang play at first going in Team Reyes’ favor. A two-out walk from their three-hitter, Steve Pantano, kept the inning alive and a pinch runner stole second to set the table for Figliarulo. The Titans were able to collect leadoff hits in three of the seven innings, but the strong Reyes defense was able to hold the Titans in check extinguishing every leadoff single. “My approach stayed the same, just waiting for the fastball,” said F...
DeMicco’s Two-Run Shot Gives Long Island Baseball 5-2 Win over Body Armor Titans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5yVp_42nMk Nick DeMicco (Plainedge ’18) picked up right where he left off during the high school season with a long 2-R HR that hooked around the left field foul pole at Joe Nathan Field in the fourth inning to propel Long Island Baseball Prime to a 5-2 victory over the Body Armor Titans. Scoreless first inning for Tyler Marinaccio pic.twitter.com/NFEWEjaZmC — aXcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) June 8, 2017 The BA Titans were without Anthony Fontana and Anthony D’Onofrio (Wantagh ’18) due to the upcoming New York State Class A tournament this weekend as well as a handful of players due to injury which effected their lineup but they sent Plainview JFK junior Tyler Marinaccio to the hill. He fired a scoreless first inning with two s...
