by John Sullivan After Showtime scratches a run across due to walks, Jojo Basile gets the K and shuts the door for B1. They win it 6-1 in 5 due to time limit pic.twitter.com/hvVFVVQPMM — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 29, 2025 It was bound to be a good game when Micheal Sime, brother of recent Nationals 4th round draft pick Miguel, took the mound for Showtime Legacy against third place B1 Ghost Parise. Similar to his brother, Micheal is a power pitcher who displays an electric fastball and he showed it in the first inning by blowing three of them by the first three batters for an easy 1-2-3 inning. After Sime’s great inning, Showtime had a promising start to the bottom half of the first after lead off batter, Owen Phillips, reached on an error. After B1 starting pitcher, Zachary...

For the South Shore Clippers, who put together an otherworldly offensive performance across four Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League playoff games, the barrage couldn’t have come at a more clutch time. Powered by a six-run third inning, the Clippers slugged their way past the North Fork Ospreys, 11-9, to complete the sweep and capture the 2025 HCBL Championship. The win marks the Clippers’ third in team history (2017, 2023) ...

They did just that, defeating the Westhampton Aviators 6-3 to clinch a playoff berth on the final day of the season. “We get along really well and are close on and off the ...

by Chris Sacchi Coaches @morelli__vinnie and Kyle McLaughlin join @CJSacchi to discuss a 20 win @HamptonsLeague season, and the look-ahead to a postseason they hope to conquer. pic.twitter.com/DNtq6COpUF — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 20, 2025 On a night where the North Fork Ospreys were looking to clinch home field in the HCBL playoffs, the team rolled out its “Avengers” lineup at home against the Westhampton Aviators. And while Head Coach Vinnie Morelli’s team is full of versatile, talented players, he likes his team’s chances with the starting 9 he presented tonight, which led the way in a 13-3 win for North Fork (20-12-1) over the Westhampton Aviators (12-21-0.) “They like to call themselves ‘The Avengers’ lineup,” Morelli said. “Those guys have been rolling all year, es...
GAME RECAP: South Shore Clippers Come Away With 8-3 Win on Emotional Night at Jean Cochran Park
by Chris Sacchi On a very special night at Jean Cochran Park in honor of the Dylan Newman Forever Five Foundation, the North Fork Ospreys were one win away from clinching home field in the HCBL playoffs. Everything seemed to point towards a gratifying, emotional win for an Ospreys team that has led the standings for most of the year. Instead, it was the South Shore Clippers (16-14-1) who came away with a 8-3 victory over North Fork (19-12-1.) Yet, the night still delivered an impact that Dylan Newman would smile about. “Obviously not the outcome we wanted tonight, but it’s awesome, it meant so much to the community,” Brendan Duffy (SUNY Oneonta) said postgame. “To see all the support we get, it’s a great thing, just wish we could have gotten the win.” Brendan Duffy (@SUNY_Oneonta)...

Down to their final three outs, Top Tier’s offense erupted, going through their entire 11 man batting order and then some, putting up a whooping 12-spot, blowing the game open and securing a 15-4 win. After losing six of their first eight league contests of the summer, Top Tier has caught fire, with this win being their seventh in a row. It seemed like their luck would run out ...
