(Photo Credit: Rob Edwards/KLC Fotos) There’s a couple ways to look at this past weekend for the locals but I’m a glass-half-full person so let’s keep it positive. Let’s get to it: Division-I: 1.St. John’s (Record: 3-3. Trending UP) 2. Stony Brook (Record: 1-6, Trending Neutral) 3. Hofstra (Record: 1-6, Trending Down) 4. Fordham (Record: 1-6, Trending Down) 5. LIU (Record: 1-3, Trending Neutral) Breaking it down: St. John’s won two of three from Cal, no small task for a northeast team to travel cross-country and win a series on the West Coast in February. That was definitely the most positive storyline from this past weekend for the Division-I schools. Also, Stony Brook traveled to ACC Country and lost three games by a total of five runs. While there are...
When NYIT announced that they had hired Adam Rubin in 2017 to be the Assistant Athletic Director for Strategic Communications, it came as a surprise to many people–considering Adam had built up the largest following on social media of any beat reporter in baseball. He had covered the Mets for the New York Daily News as well as ESPN New York for 15 years and was the most plugged in of all the beat reporters.

Just about everyone was surpri...

Another big time arm is headed to Westbury, Noah Lorenzo announced today that he will be transferring to New York Tech upon completing his degree from Long Island University in the spring. This means he will sit out the 2020 season, but be back for the 2021 season with the Bears. The Bears are already loaded for 2020 with transfer pitchers Bobby Vath, Andrew Imperatore and Tyler Schmid coming over. They also have Brandon Alberto and Matt Bartnik returning from missing the 2019 World Series campaign. They figure to be extremely dangerous once again coming off a 37-win season. Lorenzo is a 2016 graduate of St. John the Baptist. The southpaw is a unique pitcher in the sense that he relies heavily on his fastball-changeup combination, and often times he works off his change up. He sits in the ...
