LI Nationals, Behind Strong Outing From Patrick Fullerton, Defeat Suffolk County Seawolves.
Coverage, photo and recap written by Julian Guevara. The LI Nationals were the home team in a Town of Brookhaven Summer Varsity regular season matchup with the Suffolk County Seawolves.

That team did graduate the CHSAA MVP in Matt Martino, who won six games on the hill and also smacked three home runs. They also graduated Connor Levchuk, who hit .340 last year.
