Oyster Bay Looking to Take Next Step and Capture County Championship
Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s series by Max Edelman Having been part of the Oyster Bay Baymen baseball program for the last 15 years, head coach Jeff Schiereck has had plenty of successful teams during his tenure. Despite falling short in the County Finals, the Baymen were able to win their third consecutive league championship. “It was our third year in a row winning the league.” Schiereck said. “We had a nice nine game winning streak in the middle of the season.

by Aaron Diaz Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series. Oyster Bay finished 2023 with a record of 11-6 record and a first round bye. Their season ended in the County Semifinals against their league rival Wheatley in extra innings, which was the only team they did not sweep during the season. “We had a pretty good season,” said Oyster Bay head coach Jeff Schiereck. “The only games we lost were to Wheatley. We had a bye in the first round and faced Wheatley in the second and lost.
