B3: Carey 0 | MacArthur 2 Chase Palma rips a 2-RBI single to give MacArthur the lead. pic.twitter.com/MKhHcXzjk5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 13, 2024 by Tucker Terranova The Nassau County AA Quarterfinals kicked off with a showdown between the No. 9 Carey Seahawks and the top-seeded MacArthur Generals at MacArthur High School. MacArthur is amidst an impressive spring, boasting a 16-4 record that secured them the No. 1 seed. On the other hand, Carey wrapped up their season with a 15-6 record and earned themselves a spot in the quarterfinals after a convincing 10-1 victory over Mepham in the play-in round. In Game 1 of a best-of-three showdown, the story of the afternoon was the ace of the MacArthur staff, Tyler Bonsignore. Although the southpaw will be heading to Adelphi thi...
by Mike Merolle The @GCsports player of the game is Plainedge’s Matt Rosenberg. Rosenberg struck out 7 batters and allowed 0 runs helping Plainedge defeat MacArthur on Monday. pic.twitter.com/qIW69YjPji — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 1, 2024 It was a score only a pitcher could love. Plainedge defeated MacArthur, 1-0, at home in a non-league game to open the 2024 schedule. Tyler Bonsignore was on the mound for MacArthur and he was near perfect. Bonsignore had two strikeouts in both the first and second inning and three in the third. He opened the fourth inning with his eighth strikeout of the day but Plainedge’s bats retaliated. Bobby Wescott hit a solo home run to open the game’s scoring. The lefty-on-lefty blast put a dent in the scoresheet but Bonsignore closed the inning...
by Max Edelman Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series. Nice playoff win today for MacArthur over Manhasset. 2 strike approach to tie the game early. @MACgenerals @axcessbaseball @_MYLIB @PBR_NY_LI #uncommitted #2025grad #baseball pic.twitter.com/CR2KBOjjEV — Dylan Tripi (HS 2025, C & 3rd, 3.9GPA) (@dylantripimac25) May 17, 2023 Last year was not a year that the MacArthur Generals were accustomed to. Legendary Head Coach Steve Costello (552 career wins), who is entering his 31st season as head coach of the Generals in 2024, looked back on last season, which consisted of an 11-6 record and a loss in the pool play round of the playoffs. “We were 11-6.” Costello said. “But then we got eliminated in the pool play round of the ...
by Eddie Lennon Calhoun remains undefeated thanks to the Axcess Baseball player of the game powered by @GCsports. He went all 7, striking out 6 and only allowing 1 earned run. pic.twitter.com/0jFUgLSVug — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 1, 2023 Calhoun has had one goal every single game this season and they have accomplished it, win. They have managed to do it every time, as they are undefeated, 14-0. The reigning Long Island Champs hoped to keep their streak alive as they faced the MacArthur Generals. Calhoun’s Danny Goodman had his best stuff today and kept the streak going for his squad as he dominated on the mound. Goodman was nothing but remarkable today. The southpaw tossed a complete game, striking out six, only allowing one earned run on just four hits. After an unearned ...
Kieran Kehoe and Mepham overcame a early 4-1 deficit and ultimately defeated MacArthur 8-7 to improve to 12-0 on the season. Kehoe went 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs including the game-tying hit in the sixth @GCsports pic.twitter.com/eLhQTz8zK2 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 25, 2023 You couldn’t have asked for a better game of baseball between two league rivals – one of which is pursuing an undefeated season. MacArthur and host Mepham squared off on Tuesday late afternoon, and by the time it was over, it was nearly dark but there was not one person in attendance that was not on the edge of their seat for the last two innings of the game. Even the last out of the game was recorded on a dropped third strike that required a long throw and close play at first base – but ...
by Nick Cipolla MacArthur 6, New Hyde Park 0 WP: Matt Sarni (CG, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 12 Ks) Ryan Castrillon 2-3 with 2 RBI Sarni has yet to allow a run this year in 18 innings and has allowed only 2 hits and struck out 24. pic.twitter.com/JDNRoGIBmG — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 21, 2022 MacArthur High School baseball team is one of the models of consistencies on Long Island and they always find a way to be competitive and make a run at the Championship. The 11-Time Nassau County Champions found themselves in the Nassau County semifinals in 2022 but were unable to finish the job against Clarke High School, losing in a three game series. They finished with an overall record of 19-6. Despite the loss, the MacArthur Generals look to be a competitor for the Nassau County title in 20...
By Thomas Cregan Garden city strikes first in the top of the 5th with a 2 run single by Braden Soutar who is now 3 for 3 in this game pic.twitter.com/40JrUvYClR — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 11, 2022 Garden City improves to 14-4 in conference and 14-5 overall after defeating MacArthur, 9-4. The Garden City Trojans were led to victory with big performances by third baseman Braden Soutar, shortstop Jack Fanning, and an impressive and resilient outing from starting pitcher Josh Cohen. Soutar was the main standout performer among the three going 4-for-5 with four singles and 3 RBIs. Fanning went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double and two singles. Cohen, who looked as if he had lost the zone early on in his outing after hitting three batters within the first 4 innings and issu...
By: Daniel Lopes MacArthur head coach Steve Costello speaks after MacArthur gets a 2-0 victory over Mepham. pic.twitter.com/lhR0PjPFFb — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 8, 2022 It was a pitcher’s duel throughout the game between MacArthur and Mepham on Friday, as both starting pitchers went the distance for their respective teams. However, it was Matt Sarni and MacArthur who came out on top, 2-0. Sarni was dominant for MacArthur, pitching a complete game, one-hit shutout, striking out seven batters and only allowing one walk. Despite the great pitching, both teams had chances early on to get their team in the runs column. In the bottom of the first inning, Sebastian Loor hit a two-out double to give MacArthur a runner in scoring position. However, he didn’t score, as Ryan...
by Mike Anderson NINETEEN punch outs for JT Raab. We head to the bottom of the 8th tied 1-1 pic.twitter.com/aCD5Q4rTO1 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 4, 2021 Marred by injuries and the scheduling conflicts that the pandemic caused, MacArthur high school varsity baseball had every reason to struggle in 2021. Having said that, they did anything but struggle, going 13-7 and taking the eventual county champs to a Game 3 of the semifinals. Now that the team is healthy and the schedule is mostly back to normal, they have plenty of reasons for optimism in 2022. Of course, every year brings graduation, and most graduations bring losses. MacArthur lost their ace starting pitcher and DH JT Raab, who is now playing Div-I baseball at Stony Brook. Luckily for them, they already know how to ...

Final (9 innings): Mepham 3, MacArthur 1 WP: Billy Kender pic.twitter.com/DGjKSp2pwV — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 4, 2021 They’ll be talking about this one for years to come. I knew this would be a great pitching match up between two of Long Island’s best pitchers in Stony Brook-commit JT Raab and Bucknell-commit Tyler O’Neill, but somehow the actual game exceeded even the loftiest of expectations. MacArthur and Mepham are two of the top teams in Nassau County entering 2021 and they proved it today, in an unbelievable pitcher’s duel that resulted in a 3-1 victory in 9 innings for the Pirates with the go-ahead run scoring on a safety squeeze with the bases loaded executed by Jack Hellerer to score Billy Kender – who led off with a two-strike doubl...
Simply put, Steve Costello has been one of the most successful coaches in Long Island history. He’s won 512 games, 5 Long Island Championships – including the historic undefeated season in 1994, which was his second season with the team. They were in the County Finals each year from 2006-’08 and again from 2010-’13. Additionally, he has 8 players that have won the coveted Diamond Award – most recently in 2018 with Brandon Buchan. There is a chance they add to that list this year with the presence of RHP JT Raab atop the rotation. The 6’5 230 lb pitcher is committed to Stony Brook and is a physical specimen. He was All-County in 2019 and even defeated Clarke in the semifinals of the Nassau County playoffs. He was slated to be their ace last season as well...
