In the beginning, it did not appear it was going to go that way. In their first playoff game against MacArthur, who entered coming off a loss to New Hyde Park, they fell behind 6-1 in the bottom of the 6th. MacArthur was flying high following a grand slam by Nick Albert. The tides seemed to turn after that, however. The Trojan bats went to work and their bullpen held the fort as they held on f...

How about a Long Island-leading 10 home runs and leading your team to the Class AA Long Island Championship. For Garden City, it was a dream season as they not only captured the Long Island Championship over East Islip, but won eight consecutive playoff games along the way before finally losing in the Southeast Regional to Fox Lane. Evan Cabral, a Stony Brook-signee, was among the most dangerous hitters in the region and a huge reason for their success. He finished a decorated career with exactly 100 hits. He batted .380 in ...

Scratch out a run or two and lean on your pitching to do the rest. Garden City had other plans. Facing League IV MVP Thomas Costarelli and the top statistical pitching staff on Long Island, the Trojans erupted for nine runs across the fourth and fifth innings, storming past Suffolk Class AA champion East Islip, 10-5, to capture the Class AA Long Island Championship Thursday at Farmingdale State College. The win delivered Garden City its first LIC ...

by Max Edelman FINAL: Garden City 5 – Carey 0 An all-around dominant victory for Garden City, who shut out the Seahawks at home. pic.twitter.com/BereUi39Iz — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 10, 2025 A cold rainy Thursday afternoon couldn’t cool off the Garden City Trojans, as they cruised to a 5-0 shutout home victory over the Carey Seahawks on April 10. Zach Zander was the star of the show for the Trojans, pitching six innings of shutout baseball in which he struck out six and didn’t walk a single batter. After the game, Zander praised his defense, who turned two double plays during the game, and helped keep the Seahawks off the scoresheet. “It’s hard enough to pitch in the cold,” Zander said. “It makes it so much easier when you have seven guys behind you that are making...
Following Record Setting Season, Evan Cabral Looks to Lead Garden City Back to Postseason
Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s series by Max Edelman In his sixth season with Garden City, head coach Dave Izzo guided his team into one of the most challenging conferences that Long Island has to offer. Izzo was able to take his team to a regular season conference championship before falling to Division in the playoffs. “We played in arguably the toughest conference on Long Island in my opinion.” Izzo said. “With Division, Calhoun and Carey. We won the conference regular season, which was great. We went into the last three game series of the season against Division and whoever won the series was conference champs and we beat them two out of three. But we saw them in the quarterfinals of the playoffs and they smoked us.” Garden City junior...

by Max Edelman FINAL: Wantagh 8 – Garden City 4 Wantagh spoils Garden City’s home opener. pic.twitter.com/J7AUE7Lliw — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 1, 2024 The Wantagh Warriors spoiled the Garden City Trojans home opener with an 8-2 victory on April. 1.

At the plate, Tate went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, one of which was a key hit in the fifth inning, which helped the Warriors pull ahead in the contest. “I knew I had to come out and throw ...
Recap of Blue Chip Prospect’s Pitcher/Catcher Showcase
Yesterday was the final showcase of 2022. It was the Blue Chip Prospect Pitchers/Catchers Showcase at Prospect Sports. There is always a great turnout of players and college coaches and an event I always look forward to. Below are the players that stood out the most to me during the event: Evan Cabral (Garden City 2025) Uncommitted RHP Evan Cabral (Garden City 2025) sitting 85-86, Splitter 78 pic.twitter.com/nCi6i34xxV — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 6, 2022 Evan is very advanced and especially when you consider his age. He has great command and he has clean mechanics and generates a tight spin on his breaking ball. Not many high school pichers can throw a splitter like him, either. High-end Division-I potential with a starters’ build. Nick Frusco (Miller Place 2025) ...
