Molloy Wins Rain-Soaked Game Over AIC, 9-7
by Diana Ramirez and Vin Messana For those Molloy die-hard fans that stuck it out through a long rain delay, they were rewarded with a 9-7 hard-earned victory over American International College. The game appeared to be a laugher early on as the Lions posted a five-spot in the first inning thanks to an RBI single by Matt Overton to score James Messina. They added two more on an RBI double by Chris Peralta to score Sean Hogan and Pete Theodorellis. Thomas Brady added a two-run single to score Peralta and Overton. The Lions continued to tack on runs in the middle innings. An unearned run in the third inning extended the lead to 6-0 and Matt Overton crushed a solo HR to open up a 7-0 lead. In the fourth inning, Jake Saltzman ripped an RBI single to score Peralta and make it 8-0. At that stage...

They joined the HCBL last year to replace the Montauk Mustangs as the team with the most local players and made an immediate impact, winning the league championship in their inaugural season. This year, coach Neal Heaton’s squad looks in top form to defend its title. After putting up nine runs on the Riverhead Tomcats to win their opener on Sunday, the Road Warriors picked up a 7-4 in their first home contest against the North Fork Ospreys (0-2). Long Island didn’t look like a championship team in the early go...
Commack Wins First County Championship Since 1997
Commack does it!! They are the 2017 Suffolk Class AA Champions !

This was a team coming off a 14-win season and a playoff run with arguably the best staff on Long Island. Three months later they are celebrating their first Suffolk County Class AA championship since 1997 after their 8-6 back-and-forth victory over the reigning Long Island Champion West Islip Lions. Senior Pete Theodorellis, who tied the game up at 6-6 in the sixth inning with a double off the fence–and fired 8.2 IP yesterday–never wavered in his optimism with this team. Even during that ...
Insider Notes: May 18
Yesterday, I was at the Hauppauge-Commack match up between two very-accomplished pitchers in Matt Overton (Molloy-commit) and Johnny Pohlman (College of St. Rose). In addition to them, there were a number of talented players on the field. Here’s what I saw from them: Johnny Pohlman– The big RHP is lanky and projectable. He has the chance to fill out and add several MPH to his fastball when he gets to college. They are really banking on that, because his fastball was 78-82 MPH, which is more of a Div-III velocity. However, what he lacks in velocity, he makes up for in gumption and pitchability. Despite walking four of the first seven hitters, he settled in and found his rhythm. He wound up recording nine strikeouts and allowing only two hits. He faced some good hitters, but he r...
Jake Krzemienski Delivers Go-Ahead RBI Single to Propel Commack to 2-1 Victory
Final: Commack 2, Hauppauge 1 WP: Johnny Pohlman (complete game) Krzemienski go-ahead RBI single pic.twitter.com/wxeBR8Wrf9 — aXcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) May 17, 2017 Johnny Pohlman didn’t have his best command in the first inning, walking the bases loaded but showed his intestinal fortitude by making the big pitches when it counted. He wound up firing a complete game with nine strikeouts, allowing only one run on two hits with six walks in Commack’s 2-1 victory over Hauppauge in the second round of the Class AA playoffs. “I really couldn’t find my fastball to begin with,” said the College of St. Rose-commit. “I had trouble in the beginning, but once I found my change up, and everything was able to set into place, I was able to keep the hitter...
