The Vikings finished last season with a 15-5 season record and lost to Oceanside in two games, 10-0 and 10-2. The Vikings had control of their conference going into their last two games of the season but losing their leadoff hitter first baseman Lucas Milgrim due to injury stal...

The Vikings qualified for the playoffs as the eighth seed, a feat they did not accomplish the year before. In order to earn that seed, the Vikings had to play a tiebreaker series against Oceanside for the final playoff seed. However, Port Washington fell to a dominant Plainview JFK squad in the first round of the playoffs. Thirteen year Head Coach Matt Holzer reflected on how last season shaped his vision of building a championship team. “The season was a step in the right direction for us”, he stated. “O...

By Thomas Cregan Port Washington coach Matt Holzer after his teams’ 10-4 win over Oceanside pic.twitter.com/uNfOSnDJM0 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 12, 2022 Port Washington defeats Oceanside 9-4 propelling them to the post season in dramatic fashion. Last year, Port Washington’s playoff hopes came down to a tie breaker game against Oceanside, in which they lost and missed out on the postseason. However, this year in their final series, once again facing well known foe Oceanside, they were victorious. This game featured a pitching matchup between Maritime-commit Will Chu for Port Washington and Peter Davies for Oceanside. The first trip to the plate for Oceanside looked like they were coming in with plans to abuse the short right field fence at Port Washington’s ho...

Port Washington lost out on their playoff chances in 2021 in a tiebreaker with Oceanside, however, coach Spotteck saw bright spots throughout the year as his team showed the ability to compete throughout a 5-11 regular season campaign. He believes the experience gained by the returning players will help to further the program along in 2022. He cited last year’s lack of offseason work due to covid restrictions and now retu...

Final: Massapequa 13, Port Washington 3 WP: Matt Minio Bobby Stang: 2 HR Connor Kelly: 3-R HR pic.twitter.com/fBFV1omeLK — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 5, 2021 As Massapequa‘s head coach Tom Sheedy stated earlier this week, the team is utilizing the next four weeks to prepare for the playoffs. The three-time reigning Long Island Champs just got their full squad back on Monday after their football team captured the Nassau Conference II Championship over Oceanside last weekend. Well, it doesn’t hurt to win some games along the way and in typical Massapequa fashion, they are off to a 2-0 start to the season. Today’s game was one of two high school games that took place on Long Island, and the Chiefs steamrolled Port Washington, 13-3, in a rematch of the 2019 Clas...
Coming Off First County Appearance in 50 Years, Port Washington Ready To Get Back to Work

Men on 1st & 3rd with one out. pic.twitter.com/ZaYOTgItQl — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 1, 2019 2019 was a banner year for Port Washington as they reached the Class AA County Finals for the first time since 1969 and they also had their own player, Alex Chang, capture the coveted Diamond Award for the first time program history. That team was the No. 1 overall seed (21-4) entering the playoffs and knocked off a tremendously talented Oceanside team to advance to face Massapequa, but they had their dream season cut short at SUNY Old Westbury. Going into last year, they were still confident that they would make a deep run. “Going into 2020, we thought we had maybe the second best rotation in the count...

Nassau County Class AA Playoff Preview (Plus Predictions)
Ah, playoffs. The time of year we find out who rises to the top. In Class AA, there are no longer any play-in games, as it’s headed straight to the quarterfinals for a three-game series. There is a long way to go until the County Championship, but for now, let’s break down the remaining eight teams. Quarterfinals: #8 Baldwin vs. #1 Port Washington Considering Port Washington just swept Baldwin last week, this seems like an obvious choice. However, it’s playoffs. Anything can happen. The main focal point throughout the postseason for the top-seeded Port Washington Vikings will be their pitching. Last week, they held Baldwin to two earned runs in three games. Their rotation consisting of Alex Chang, Derek Livingston and Jackson Sattinger shut down Baldwin last week, so exp...

On the verge of getting swept, East Meadow sent Sean Kennedy to the mound in game three and he delivered. Kennedy finished the game going the distance, allowing two earned runs, seven hits and struck out three batters. “My stuff in the beginning was a little off, but I was able to battle through it. I trusted my defense and they made every play, we were able to have a couple big innings,” said Kennedy. Scoreless after the first two innings, it was East Meadow’...
