The Bears trailed 5-0 before they came to bat in the first inning, but never wavered in their optimism and were able to complete the comeback to win Game 1 of their double header against Mercy by the score of 11-10 in 10 innings. Starter Matt Bartnik departed with two outs in the first inning and the Bears trailing by five, but reliever D.J. Masuck came in and fired 5.1 shutout innings to allow the Bears’ bats get to work. They scored three in the first, one in the second and two in the third to take a 7-5 lead a...
North Carolina Day 1 Recap
This weekend we are covering the “Division-II vs Cancer” Tournament at the beautiful Team USA Training Complex in Cary, NC. First off, the facility is unbelievable. I am shocked that I have never experienced it yet, and I encourage everyone to. As soon as you get off the bus, you see the rich tradition of high-quality ballplayers that have entered the gates. On the window of the Team USA team store are photos of Chris Archer, Kris Bryant and Carlos Rodon. Three players that showcased themselves on the global scene representing Team USA. Really breathtaking scenery as well for a first-time visitor. I was in attendance for NYIT vs. Franklin Pierce and Franklin Pierce vs. St. Thomas Aquinas. Below are much observations from each game. Franklin Pierce vs. St. Thomas Aquinas: This w...
NYIT Bears: Young Talent and a New Conference Could Pay Dividends For the Bears
Coming off the heels of a disappointing 2017, the NYIT Bears are young and ready to take on the East Coast Conference in their inaugural season. The program struggled last year in Division-I play, going 5-36 on the season and ultimately leading to their relegation to the Division-II East Coast Conference. They move onto a new challenge, with a lot to prove and a lot of quality talent ready to hit the field. Coming into the season one of the main concerns is the lack of run production. They scored just 128 runs over 42 games, while also hitting .213 and only knocking 17 dingers out of the park. In addition, the Bears reached five plus runs in only four games, three of them ending in a loss. Aside from the struggles from last season, manager Bob Malvagna is very confident in his group to get...
Art Canestro Reflects On Professional Career, Growing Up on LI
Art Canestro was never nervous on the mound–except maybe for this time, he admitted. Pitching in the first ever game at Coors Field, there was a capacity crowd of 60,000 people despite being a Spring Training game. “I just remember looking up in the stands and being blinded by the people. It was just a wall of people. I was never nervous pitching, but that time there was definitely some butterflies,” says the current Head Coach of Calhoun HS. “I didn’t even really get to enjoy it; it was over after eight pitches. I got two pop outs and a ground out and the inning was over,” he added. That was the closest he got the big leagues, but the left-handed pitcher enjoyed a glorious high school career at Wellington C. Mepham HS. He graduated prior to the inceptio...
Fall Ball Series: NYIT
Brendan Dowd (East Islip 2016) will be moving to the outfield and expected to produce runs pic.twitter.com/S2ddLzk9Dx — Axcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) September 26, 2017 The “Battle of the Boulevard” has long been the name of the sports rivalry between NYIT and LIU Post. Until this year, however, baseball was not a part of that conversation as they did not compete in the East Coast Conference (ECC). “The reclassification is a great opportunity,” said Head Coach Bob Malvagna, who will be entering his fifth season at the helm. “The ECC has tremendous programs and I’m very impressed with the coaches in the conference. They’re all working hard to build programs just like we are. It’s a very big positive,” he added. Regarding the ...
