Fontana Deals, Leads Wantagh To Third Consecutive Long Island Championship
Nobody knows how to win championships better than Wantagh. On Sunday, the Wantagh Warriors defeated the Rocky Point Eagles by a score of 4-2 to capture their third consecutive Class A Long Island Championship. The highly anticipated pitching matchup between Joe Grillo and Anthony Fontana was everything that was expected, as both starters produced for their team. However, Fontana got the best of the Rocky Point lineup. He went the distance, allowing no earned runs on four hits. “This is incredible, three years in a row I could cry right now this is one of the greatest moments of my life, we work so hard for these moments and I’m really excited to go upstate,” said Fontana. “We’re going to work hard in practice this week, we have to sit through school this week ...

THREEE PEEEAT!!! Wantagh has done it, they are the back-to-back-to-back Nassau County Class A Champions! FINAL: Wantagh 14 Division 3 pic.twitter.com/RaMeHbraeR — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2018 Stop me if you’ve heard this before; the Wantagh Warriors are Nassau County Class A Champs. On Memorial Day afternoon, Wantagh proved they were worthy of completing the three-peat as they defeated the Division Blue Dragons by a score of 14-3, highlighted by a nine-run 7th inning. Although the Warriors won their third consecutive championship, this year was much different than the last two. In many ways, this game was over before it started. In 2016 and 2017, Wantagh needed three games to be crowned county champions. This year, they posted a clean sweep over Division, proving...
Wantagh Continues to Roll; On Verge of Claiming Third Straight County Title
Our @DigmiNation Player of the Game is Anthony Fontana who fired a complete game allowing two runs and working out of a couple jams in Wantagh’s 5-2 victory over Division in Game 1 of the Nassau Class A Finals pic.twitter.com/HT0UZH7lsc — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 26, 2018 It starts with pitching and defense and for the past 12 games, that has been the recipe for the Wantagh Warriors (22-2). They have not lost since April 26 and remarkably haven’t yielded more than three runs during that period. Their ace, Anthony Fontana, fired another CG in the Warriors’ 5-2 victory over Division (20-5). He is now 9-1 o the season and 22-1 in his varsity career. He was backed by an offense that scored four runs in the first inning of Post-commit Nick Fressle; although it ...

Patrick Willix with the big fly for Wantagh! Wantagh takes a 5-3 lead in the top of the 8th off a 2-run blast to right center by Willix. pic.twitter.com/AiYdqGhXp7 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 23, 2018 The Wantagh Warriors entered enemy lines Wednesday looking to continue their historic run and with one swing of the bat off Patrick Willix, they are headed to their third consecutive Nassau County Class A Final. They did not get off to the start they were hoping for. Garden City starting pitcher Billy Duff was in a groove early getting through three innings while only allowing one hit. Wantagh starting pitcher Patrick Willix did not get off to as smooth of a start. In the first inning, he got into early trouble but escaped stranding runners on first and second. In the second in...

The two-time defending Long Island Class A champs came out firing early and never took their foot off the gas as they come one step closer on their quest for a three-peat. “We’ve been winning games but not always putting it together,” Wantagh head coach Keith Sachs said. “We hit the ball well, threw the ball well, made some clutch defensive plays…really I think we pl...
