One of the bright spots of Sayville’s<\/strong> 2016 season was the emergence of eighth grader Brock Murtha<\/strong> not only playing on varsity, but also smacking two home runs and winning two games on the mound.<\/p>\n

The 5’11” 170 lb freshman will be a key piece of their 2017 season. He has put himself on the map already with his athleticism at shortstop and his smooth swing at the plate. He is a two-sport star, also playing QB\u00a0on the varsity football team.<\/p>\n
