by Max Edelman FINAL: North Shore 4 – Clarke 3 In a darkness shortened game, the Vikings pull off a huge upset win on the road. Taking down the now 11-2 Clarke Rams. pic.twitter.com/rI3LC76SQo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 7, 2024 In shocking fashion, the North Shore Vikings went on the road and shocked the Clarke Rams 4-3 in a shortened six-inning game. Entering the game with an 11-1 league record, this may have looked like another win for legendary head coach Tom Abruscato’s team. However, starting pitcher Garret Gates and the Vikings had other ideas. After six innings of a game that took nearly three hours to complete, the umpires were forced to call the game due to impending darkness. The length of the game was due in large part to the numerous walks in the game, as ...

Final: Wantagh 2, North Shore 1 WP: Colin Crispyn (5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 6 Ks) Wantagh improves to 12-3 pic.twitter.com/lsEYrfeXWo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 5, 2023 Wantagh did not qualify for the postseason last year for the first time since 1994. That one-year hiatus was a brief one as the Warriors have came storming back and are now 12-3 to begin the 2023 season. They were able to take a critical series against North Shore today by the score of 2-1 – as they displayed some of the key components to Wantagh baseball. They did face a tall order in facing hard-throwing southpaw Garret Gates on the road – and he showed what he was capable of with 9 strikeouts and just one hit allowed over 6.1 innings, but they were able to grind out at bats, draw 6 walks and ulti...

That seemed to be the case in 2022 for the North Shore Vikings as they finished 7-11, missing the playoffs for the first time in over two decades. Most teams look at a losing season as a negative, but North Shore’s head coach Scott Lineman seems to have found the silver linings that come with a losing season. “We were a young team that played in a very difficult conference”. Said Coach Lineman, “Even though we...

While the season may not have ended in a title, it was still essential for their growth. “One good thing [that] came out about it is that we did have a couple of underclassmen play a significant amount of time last year to gain experience going into this year.” Lineman said. While most of their core still remains, they will be without ...
North Shore Counting on Executing Fundamentals For a Successful Season
by Ben Diamond After the cancellation of last year’s season, head coach of the North Shore baseball team Scott Lineman lost a few important players from his roster. Players like Will Scarola who now plays at Hofstra, Andrew Jarkow who pitches for SUNY Cobleskill, and Danny Pepe who pitches at Montclair. According to Lineman, these guys would have played a significant role on his team last year had the season not been cancelled. They leave a hole that Lineman hopes his players this year can fill. “Will [Scarola] was a three year starter for us, he would have been hitting in the middle of our order. He would get 20 stolen bases a year.” Lineman said. “He would have made a huge impact on helping us score runs that’s for sure.” “Danny [Pepe] and Andrew [Jarkow] would have been the two ...

pic.twitter.com/LwdQ3C7LvN — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 14, 2020 The Lions Baseball offense came alive on Wednesday night in a LI Boys of Summer match up. They were able to get offense from their whole lineup. After the game, Lions Baseball pitcher Alex Czarnomski was asked about the performance of his teammates and he said, “We battled with good at-bats and got a lot of walks and got base runners on and good things will happen”. When asked how he was able to pitch in the middle of the game and shut the other team down, Alex said “I was just trying to throw strikes. My fastball was working and I decided to stay with my fastball. My defense did a good job behind me tonight”. The North Shore pitcher got the first out of the game but quickly ran into trouble.

North Shore 2020 Season Preview
(Photo Credit: Shelly Newman) by Zevan Shuster For North Shore High School baseball coach Scott Lineman, the potential of his team heading into the 2020 season is endless. And with potential, come high expectations. “I expect to compete at a high level, and we’re going to try and win the league. We have an extremely tough league this year, where it won’t be easy to come and get the number one seed, but it’s something we’re going to be fighting for,” Scott Lineman said. At all levels of sports, winning is a result due to a long, complex process that takes place both on and off the field. It’s a journey that encapsulates every important aspect of what it takes to build a team, and get the sum of the team, to be greater than its individual parts. “We’ve been trying to build our team unity ...
