by Nick Cipolla Postgame interview with Alex Golub and Anthony Dinello after the Titans Victory over Team Francisco pic.twitter.com/Q7Iqku7XUK — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 9, 2022 The LI Titans-Quattrini are going to be a problem for many other teams this summer – if today was any indication. The Titans came away with a 9-0 run-rule victory, showing a balanced attack up-and-down the lineup against Team Francisco Notorious 9. Offensively, everyone in the Titans lineup reached base at least once in this early season Boys of Summer League matchup. Some notable performances came from Anthony Dinello who kept a big rally going in the third inning by hitting an opposite field 2 run single. Alex Golub was responsible for knocking in 3 of the 9 runs scored by the Titans. He h...

by Nick Cipolla Postgame interview with the Islip Owls winning pitcher Jaden Schmidt pic.twitter.com/rUo7OH08xB — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 30, 2022 The Islip Owls were dominant this morning at Eisenhower Park. They had everything going early and they never took their foot of the gas until the game was over. There were many contributors in this 8-0 run rule win over Knights Nation today, but none shined brighter than Jaden Schmidt. Schmidt pitched a gem today, a complete game (5 inning), 2 hit Shutout with 6 strikeouts en route to a Memorial Day victory. The Owls offense was on the attack early and often in this one. Jaden Schmidt helped his own cause in the bottom of the first, grounding into a fielder’s choice but scoring the game’s first run in the process. I...
Quiñones Does It All, Leads Bandits to 13u Championship
by Nick Cipolla Postgame interview with Benny Quiñones after an incredible 2-way performance in todays game pic.twitter.com/F6eRyLNRXI — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 30, 2022 Benny Quiñones was a one man army in today’s championship game against the South Shore Chiefs. An outstanding performance both on the mound and at the plate, this performance by Quiñones was a great example of putting the team on his back in a big game, something that very few athletes are capable of doing. Quiñones did give up a run early to the Chiefs when Matthew Sharon hit an RBI Single to center field that gave the Chiefs an early 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the first, Quiñones took matters into his own hands and he hit an RBI infield single to the shortstop to tie the game at 1. After this, both Ben...
Team Francisco Takes Home Boys of Summer 16u National Fall Championship Over LIB
by Nicholas Cipolla Will Irwin makes it 2-1 team Francisco with a 2 out double to center pic.twitter.com/ZTw5VNkMKW — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 7, 2021 Team Francisco and LIB quite literally played until the sun set on the 2021 season. Team Francisco took home the fall season championship in a 3-1 victory in 6 innings as they had to battle not just LIB, but also the fading sunlight as daylight savings time began today. This meant that the sunset today was at approximately 4:40 and this game (slated for 1:30) was pushed back to a 2:57 pm first pitch due to a semi-final game concluding on the site of the championship game. Despite this, we still had a game to be played, and a champion to be crowned. LIB drew first blood in the first inning on a first and third double ste...

Especially in the first inning. The scoring began in the first inning and that turned out to be the difference in this one. With one out in the first inning and bases loaded, Tommy Dillon worked a walk to give the Black Diamonds a 1-0 lead. This began a carousel of runners moving station to station. James Miezeveski singled up the middle to make it 2-0. Kevin Defilipis worked a bases loaded walk to make it 3-0. The next batter, Chris Dinotta, legged out an infield single on a slow roller to shortstop to m...

by Nick Cipolla Game 1 Nick Farnacci makes it 2-0 with a 2 out RBI double in the bottom of the second inning pic.twitter.com/BvkPRMO7A8 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 23, 2021 In what may be the final games of the year for the Batting 1000 Seminoles, they made sure to go out with a bang. The Seminoles took Game 1 of the doubleheader over the LI Empire by a score of 2-1. The key to this game for the Seminoles was clean defense and two runs early in the game to set the tone. In the first inning, the Seminoles put a man on and sent Andrew Bonnano to the plate. After fighting a couple of pitches off, he served a ball into center and made it a 1-0 game. Nick Farnacci got his day going in the second inning with a 2 out RBI double to make it 2-0 Seminoles in the bottom of the seco...
Adrenaline Lead Wire to Wire in 12-1 Victory over Legends Baseball
by Nicholas Cipolla The Adrenaline must’ve been pumping today as it seemed Adrenaline Select out of Toms River, New Jersey came out and dominated the game from pitch one until the final out. In this mid morning game, The Adrenaline drew first blood. Harold Rodriguez drew a leadoff walk, stole 2 bases, and scored when today’s starting pitcher Evan Bailey grounded out to the shortstop to make it 1-0. Bailey took the mound in the bottom of the first and retired the side with ease. He set the tone early as he used a great mix of three pitches (Fastball, Changeup, Curveball) to keep the Legends off balance when he was on the mound. Nate Baran executes a suicide squeeze to perfection to make it a 2-0 game in favor of Adrenaline. pic.twitter.com/uO2qrUNxjZ — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) O...
Thunder Bats Lead the Way in 16-1 Win over the South Shore Tides
by Nicholas Cipolla There was no shortage of offense for the Thunder this afternoon as they were able to get 16 runs across the plate in a mercy rule victory over the South Shore Tides. After Nick Caroli led off the bottom of the first by reaching on a throwing error, Frank Stella gave his team a 1-0 lead with an RBI Single up the middle. Jake Burlock ripped a two run single of his own to make it a 3-0 affair with no outs in the bottom of the first. The Tides finally recorded the first two outs when Sean Barodin hit an RBI groundout to make it a 4-0 game. With two outs in the same inning and runners on second and third, the Tides pitcher made a curious decision to try and pick off the runner at second base. The result was not a good one as the ball skipped into centerfield, allowing the ...
Sanchez’s Big Night At the Bat Helps LIB Neptune Sweep the East End Aviators
by Nicholas Cipolla Game 1: Patrick Sanchez showed everyone his best Derek Jeter impersonation today, as he always seemed to come through in key moments during both games today Game one of a double header between LIB Neptune and the East End Aviators seemed like it was going to be an all-out battle of the pitchers. As the game progressed, the higher the odds of a tie due to the two hour time limit got. For the Aviators, Roy Hoffman was cruising for his first four innings of work. He only allowed 3 total base runners throughout four innings (two hits and a walk) and had three strikeouts to go with it. He also was getting some help from the Aviators defense as Hoffman was producing plenty of routine ground balls and fly balls for his fielders. LIB Neptune had many opportunities to score but ...
Titans Pull Off Wild Comeback In a Crazy Game vs Longhorns
by Nicholas Cipolla Jason Creegan Scores the game winning run on a wild pitch to give the Titans an incredible comeback win over the Longhorns pic.twitter.com/hszoXU61qq — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 4, 2021 The Titans entered the bottom of the 5th inning down by five runs and not having any answers for the Longhorns bats or Grayson Aristy. That’s when everything changed and the Titans made an incredible comeback after looking dead in the water the previous few innings. The first 4 and a half innings were all Longhorns. Starting pitcher Grayson Aristy executed a perfect suicide squeeze to give his team an early 1-0 game in the top of the second. That same inning, the Longhorns pulled off a nicely executed first and third double steal to make it a 2-0 lead. A few pitches late...
Queens Renegades Dominate Early in Win Over Jr Ducks
by Nick Cipolla Final: Renegades: 9 Jr Ducks: 1 pic.twitter.com/0xQwWxfM0l — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 4, 2021 These kids from Queens can hit. The renegades attacked early and that’s all they needed to do in order to get a win over the Long Island Jr Ducks. The first batter of the game, Sal Romano, reached on a hit by a pitch. He stole second and then was knocked in by Joey LaSala on a single to left field. LaSala scored on a pickoff play where the ball went into the outfield and then was thrown out of play. Dylan Donofrio got on base and made his way to third before scoring on a wild pitch, which was ball four to the batter to make it 3-0. A few battwes later, Niko Frantzeskakis knocked in two more runs to make it 5-0. They scored all five of those runs before an out...
Rainstorms Ruin a Potential Epic Finish Between 495 Wolfpack and East Meadow
by Nicholas Cipolla Heads up base running from Connor Ackerman to tie the game at 7 in the bottom of the third inning. pic.twitter.com/5FBeKMCG0l — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 3, 2021 Once again, mother nature has ruined a potentially exciting game of baseball. In an anticlimactic and unfortunate ending, the rain proved to be coming down too hard for the game to continue on, leaving the game tied up at 7. Despite only lasting four quick innings, there was plenty of action in this game. In the bottom of the first inning, East Meadow first baseman Dom Longardino stepped up to the plate and crushed a ball way over the wall in left center. The ball nearly cleared a fence that was 80 or so feet from the left center wall, leaving everyone who saw it in disbelief. That home run spar...
