Trailing 2-1, a two-run homer off the bat of Stony Brook-commit Bobby Wescott gave the Red Devils the lead and they never looked back, scoring five unanswered runs en route to their 12th straight victory to begin the season. “The pitcher was hitting his spots.” Wescott said after the game. “It was a long at-bat, I got to a 3-2 count. They know how to pitch here at Island Trees, but if you leave a fastball up in the zone, you’re going to do some damage wi...

After a solid 2024 season, the Red Devils are ready to make some noise in 2025. “Looking back on our season, I thought that we had a good season.” Fratrik said. “We were extremely competitive throughout the season, finishing in 2nd place in our conference, and lost in the semi’s to a really good Wantagh team. We felt like we had chances to win that game 3, but didn’t make enough p...

Congrats boys! @axcessbaseball #TitanNation pic.twitter.com/Ieux8SKIwA — Titans (@TitansBsb) July 12, 2024 Bobby Wescott had a terrific 2024 season for the Plainedge Red Devils. Though he was just a sophomore, he led the way offensively with a .420 batting average, .553 OBP and incredible 1.321 OPS. He compiled 29 hits, six doubles, six triples, four HRs, drove in 29 runs and scored 15 runs. He recently announced his commitment to Stony Brook University. He still has two full seasons of high school remaining, which is certainly bad news for opposing pitchers. His coach Colin Fratrik had the followin...
by Mike Merolle The @GCsports player of the game is Plainedge’s Matt Rosenberg. Rosenberg struck out 7 batters and allowed 0 runs helping Plainedge defeat MacArthur on Monday. pic.twitter.com/qIW69YjPji — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 1, 2024 It was a score only a pitcher could love. Plainedge defeated MacArthur, 1-0, at home in a non-league game to open the 2024 schedule. Tyler Bonsignore was on the mound for MacArthur and he was near perfect. Bonsignore had two strikeouts in both the first and second inning and three in the third. He opened the fourth inning with his eighth strikeout of the day but Plainedge’s bats retaliated. Bobby Wescott hit a solo home run to open the game’s scoring. The lefty-on-lefty blast put a dent in the scoresheet but Bonsignore closed the inning...
