The Lions dominated Bronx 14-1 and advanced to play Suffolk, needing to beat them twice in one day to win the tournament. The two teams went on to play each other 18 innings and roughly six hours after...
Suffolk CC Advances To NJCAA Region XV Championship With Blowout Win Over Nassau, 14-6
Suffolk CC displayed a show of dominance in their 14-6 victory over Nassau CC in the NJCAA Region XV playoffs. The Sharks advance to tomorrow and are set to play Nassau again, needing just one win to advance to the World Series. Despite the impressive run margin, Suffolk was down 3-0 after the first inning.

Brian Klammer Excited to Lead Suffolk CC

I’m excited about our incoming class of freshmen and transfers,” he said. Klammer is a graduate of Dowling College where he played ball before coaching as an assistant at Suffolk from 2002-’06. Last year’s team was loaded with talent, with three of their players (Shawn Blasberg, Joseph Murphy and Joseph Mattero) being named to our 2017 All-Long Island team. Murphy was ranked fifth in the nation in AVG at .486 and also led the nation in ERA at 1.21. All three have moved on to other programs but ...
