by Diana-Nicole Ramirez A positive and humble mindset has been a hallmark for Coach Josh Gutes during his tenure with Hauppauge. Having been league champs for the fourth time in five years, will not blind the Eagles to the competition they face in a difficult league. They had last season end with a record of 14-9-1 (11-4 league play). When asked about the expectations of his team for this coming season, Gutes was more than excited yet still extremely modest while he stated, “There’s an excitement moving forward this season, maybe even more so than last, but that means nothing preseason because you still have to play the games.” The Eagles will be playing League V this season and will face in order, West Babylon, Eastport/South Manor, Harborfields, Half Hollow Hills West, Islip, and Rocky ...
Huge strikeout to end the top of the 10th inning–Hauppauge looks to get it done pic.twitter.com/xj5QJMi3n5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 2, 2019 Trailing 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Hauppauge hadn’t generated much of anything on offense. After a fortuitous defensive miscue got them on the board, they mounted a rally in the fifth inning. A sac fly by Mike Knopf got them to within two runs, a wild pitch scored Ryan Levenberg and an RBI single by Alex Knopf tied it up. Credit to both team’s pitching staffs to bear down from that point forward. Each pitcher appeared to wiggle in-and-out of trouble, but a big moment in the game came in the top of the sixth when Sayville No. 9 hitter Alex Millwater lined a single to left field and Ryan Levenberg, one of the ...

They played a thrilling extra-inning game against Bayport-Blue Point in which Ryan Levenberg hit a walk-off single in the 11th inning to spoil League MVP Rob Ray’s gem. With a year of Class A baseball under their belt, Josh Gutes‘ club enters 2019 as one of the favorites once again. While three new teams enter the Class A division this year (Eastport, Hills West and West Babylon), in their second season, the Hauppauge Eagles are ready to tak...

Robert Ray, Bayport-Blue Point‘s southpaw pitcher found a way to do so. The hard-throwing LHP pitched into the 11th inning against Hauppauge before sophomore Ryan Levenberg hit a sac fly to score Anthony Ferrara and give the Eagles a 3-2 victory. Offense was at a premium with two outstanding pitchers on the mound. Hauppauge’s Kevin Sambuco was extremely effective as well, allowing only an RBI ground out in the...
