Final: St. John’s 9, Hofstra 7 WP: Oliver McCarthy S: Chuck Sanzio David Glancy: 3-for-3 , 3 HRs, 2 BBs, 4 RBIs pic.twitter.com/HX9zvr4aGw — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 22, 2022 David Glancy came to the plate five times for St. John’s. Twice they put him on first base, and the other three times he reminded them why they should’ve done so. The Johnnies LF crushed home runs in all three of his official at bats in St. John’s 9-7 victory over Hofstra on Tuesday afternoon. He doubled his season’s total on the day. It was a wild game that features plenty of back-and-forth scoring. Hofstra showed they are a team to be taken seriously, as they overcame an early 3-0 deficit but also watched a 7-5 lead evaporate, before nearly coming back in the 9th innin...

There was not a cloud in the sky for much of Saturday afternoon. I spent the day at LIU, but there was quality baseball all over Long Island. Here’s how it went down: Division-I: Stony Brook continued their incredible run as they swept a DH from Hartford to run their streak to eight games. In Game 1, they fell behind early, 2-0, on a two-run HR by Tremayne Cobb Jr against Brian Herrmann. The lead did not last long, though. Chris Hamilton crushed a game-tying two-run HR to right field in the third inning. Brett Paulsen gave the Seawolves a 3-2 lead in the fourth inning and they never looked back. They added insurance runs in the sixth on an RBI double by Cole Durkan and a sac fly by Johnny Decker. Herrmann wound up going the complete 7 innings, allowing just the two earned runs with e...
