Led by head coach Rob Moore, who is entering his 10th year in the role, looked back fondly on his team last year, and the senior class that drove the squad’s success to 18 wins. “Last year was an exciting year.” Moore said. “I knew it would be because of the seniors I had. They were with me since ninth grade. We made a pretty good run all the way to the final four. Which was exciting.” The Bulldogs were v...
GAME RECAP: Lindenhurst Stuns Commack With 4-Run 7th Inning to Keep League Title Hopes Alive
Lindenhurst scores 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th and they defeat Commack 7-6 on a walk-off sac fly by Steve Hernandez pic.twitter.com/gloo0C8L9s — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 9, 2023 It’s not often that you are left speechless following a high school game, but this was one of those. The two-time reigning Suffolk Class AA Champion Commack Cougars have led League I wire-to-wire this season – even flirting with a perfect season until recently – but entered play today looking to clinch the League Title against a hungry and senior-laden Lindenhurst Bulldog team led by Stony Brook-commit Chris Carson. Leading 6-3 in the bottom of the 7th and 7-8-9 in the order coming up, things looked very safe for the Cougars as they looked to get three final outs. That last out...

The Bulldogs finished with a 12-6 league record and a 14-8 overall record. Lindenhurst defeated a powerhouse in Patchogue-Medford in the playoffs last season, but suffered losses to Commack and Ward Melville which marked the end of their season. Head Coach Rob Moore reflected on how his team, especially the returning players, grew last season and what they can build on. “The returning players love the game, they work tirelessly and relentlessly, they do not ...
Recap of Yesterday’s Axcess Baseball x Diamond Spikes Showcase
Yesterday was our annual joint showcase with the Diamond Spikes. We couldn’t have asked for a better day – it was absolutely perfect weather for a fall baseball which was a great start. I cannot stress enough that this was a golden opportunity for 2022 and 2023 graduates to get some exposure and potentially find their home for college. There was a near 4:1 college coach to player ratio, and many of the schools were looking for 2022 immediate impact players that could also potentially receive scholarship money. Not sure if there’s anything more of a slam dunk than that scenario. Additionally, with Larry Izzo of the NY Mets in attendance, that meant two pro scouts had eyes on the players. For the players that took advantage of this opportunity, they were rewarded with showc...
Who Were The Top Performers at Monday’s College Showcase
For the second year, we partnered with Diamond Spikes Baseball and MaX Effort Baseball to host a college showcase on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The feel was much different in the pandemic world than last year. We had roughly half the players – who had their masks on throughout the duration of the event – and there was no spectators allowed aside from the 20 college coaches. I feel extremely fortunate that we were able to pull off the event despite the pandemic and I truly believe it will benefit many of the players who attended. The 2023s and 2024s were able to get their first or second experience playing in front of college coaches with every move and metric documented. For the 2021s and 2022s, they will certainly garner some interest from the coaches that were in attendance....
