Although they failed to reach their ultimate goal, Luisi, who is about to begin his eighth season in charge of the Titans, looked back fondly on 2025. “I thought last year we made a lot of really great strides.” Luisi said. “We had a really young team. Our whole lineup, with the exception of only one senior, was all juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Which presented some challenges at times for our gu...
GAME RECAP: Danny Anicito Hits Walk-Off Single in 10th For Dramatic Victory
What a game ! Danny Anicito comes through with a walk off single in the bottom of the 10th Chaminade 4, Holy Trinity 3 pic.twitter.com/BpVTK7wBjx — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 26, 2025 The calendar might still say March but there’s already a contender for the Game of the Year. What started as a mundane afternoon affair in dreary weather at Cantiague Park, turned into a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat extra inning battle between two Catholic League rivals. Here’s the game-tying blast by Kentucky-commit Michael Gardner of Chaminade pic.twitter.com/jeWR9sqrq0 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 27, 2025 The Chaminade Flyers erased multiple late-game deficits – a dramatic game-tying two-run shot by Kentucky-commit Michael Gardner in the 9th inning and ultimatel...
Holy Trinity Leaning on Experienced Pitching Staff and Team Athleticism to Compete for CHSAA Title
Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s series by Max Edelman Fresh off of a season in which they won the Catholic League and New York State Championship, the Holy Trinity Titans very narrowly missed going back-to-back in 2024. After an 18-9 season, the Titans fell just short of their goal of repeating after a championship loss to St Anthony’s. With the success that the Titans have enjoyed in recent years, it’s no surprise that a number of their players are continuing their baseball careers following their high school graduation at the college level, including a handful of 2024 graduates. They include Tyler Cook (Troy), Gabe Klarikaitis (Molloy), Andrew Heppner (Pace), Andrew Sinclair (University of Bridgeport) and Ryan Czyz (University of St. Jos...

He certainly doesn’t look like a freshman, as he stands 6’1 tall already and is an imposing figure when he stands on the mound. This past summer, he earned an invi...
Up Next Powered by Ken Kortright State Farm Agency: Joe Maxwell
(This is the fourth installment of the popular “Up Next” Series in which we highlight the top underclassmen across Long Island. Previously, we featured Dylan Weinstein, Jaxson Torres and Richie Roberts. Special thanks to Ken Kortright State Farm Agency for sponsoring this year’s feature.) Defense up the middle is valuable commodity in the game of baseball. While every coach wants their team to be flawless defensively, they prioritize being strong defensively at catcher, middle infield and center field. This year, Joe Maxwell provided that for Beast 2027 National. He not only provided some highlight reel plays defensively, he was outstanding offensively. That type of player profile is very rare. Over the summer, he batted .412 with a .505 OBP, 9 doubles, 1 HR, 25 RBIs and ...
Jalen Josey Commits to Stony Brook University
Tied again! Jalen Josey comes through with a 2-out, 2-strike RBI single and it’s 3-3 as we head to the 9th pic.twitter.com/cSDmQT8C5G — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 27, 2024 Coming off a magical ride in 2023 which included capturing the NY State Catholic League Championship, it was a bit of a youth movement for the Holy Trinity Titans. Even so, they were able to get hot at the right time and reach the CHSAA Finals against St. Anthony’s. Josey was a bright spot for the Titans. After getting called up from JV halfway through the season, all he did was go 12-for-38 (.316) with 2 doubles, 2 triples, 10 RBIs and 9 runs scored. He came through with a clutch game-tying hit in extra innings of the finals. This past week he announced his verbal commitment to Stony Brook University...
GAME RECAP: St. Anthony’s Wins Extra Inning Thriller, Capture First Title in 24 Years
Here was the final out of last night’s NSCHSAA Final @SAFriarsBase pic.twitter.com/8b8kvPYgIo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 27, 2024 Trailing 2-0 in the 6th inning against the reigning Catholic League Champs is an unenviable position to be in, but the St. Anthony’s Friars were not going to be denied this time. Not after coming up close in many instances over the past two decades as the Friars searched for that elusive Catholic League Championship. The 2024 Friars, led by head coach Paul Parsolano, were able to outlast Holy Trinity in 9 innings at Mitchel Field to capture their first NSCHSAA Championship since 2000. “I’m at a loss for words. They are such a tough team – to be able to keep answering the way these guys have. I can’t believe these guy...
GAME RECAP: Sean Atkinson Fires Six Shutout Innings in Holy Trinity’s 7-0 Win over Kellenberg
by Max Edelman FINAL: Holy Trinity 7 – Kellenberg 0 Sean Atkinson tosses six scoreless innings, and Holy Trinity shuts out Kellenberg at home. pic.twitter.com/xlI4yO1X85 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 30, 2024 Sean Atkinson’s six shutout innings helped the Holy Trinity Titans cruise to a 7-0 shutout home victory over the Kellenberg Firebirds in a Catholic League matchup. The Titans only allowed four hits in the contest, and scored two runs in the first inning and never looked back en route to victory. On the mound, Atkinson was dominant. In six innings of shutout ball, Atkinson struck out six, only walked one and allowed only four hits. Atkinson was also a threat at the plate, as he went two for three with a double and a RBI. Atkinson was one of two Titans to collect mu...
GAME RECAP: Holy Trinity Uses 5-Run Fifth to Defeat St. John the Baptist
Final: Holy Trinity 6, St. John the Baptist 3 WP: Atkinson S: Perino Heppner: 2-for-3, RBI Sinclair: 1-for-3, 2 RBIs Alvarez: 1-for-3, 2 runs, RBI Tyler Cook: 1-for-3, R, RBI pic.twitter.com/gWEBAJAeN1 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 23, 2024 If there was one thing that the Holy Trinity Titans proved in 2023 during this magical run to the New York State Championship, it was that they should never be counted out. Whether it’s the first or the seventh inning, they are never out of a ballgame. They proved that once again today as they overcame a 3-1 deficit against St. John the Baptist on the road against a tough lefty, as they used a five-run fifth inning to win by the score of 6-3. Catcher Andrew Heppner who had two hits and drove in a run, said “Today really showed...
Holy Trinity Ready to Defend Their Title
Dan Luisi helped Holy Trinity win a title as a player in 2003 and now as a coach 20 years later pic.twitter.com/icx3H70hBO — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 30, 2023 Holy Trinity turned back the clock to 2012 as they captured the NSCHSAA for the first time in 11 years this past season. They weren’t content there, however, as they proceeded to defeat St. Peter’s and St. Francis to capture the New York State Catholic League Championship. That team had a remarkable transformation from 2 wins in 2021 to a 14-7 finish in 2022 and then to a 21-8 record and championship run in 2023. Coach Dan Luisi had a plan in place and it worked out perfectly. It should be noted that Luisi was also on Holy Trinity’s 2003 championship team for legendary coach Robert Malandro. Congratu...
GAME RECAP: Holy Trinity Ends Chaminade’s Run, Captures NSCHSAA Title
For the first time since 2012, Holy Trinity captures the Catholic League Championship! They shut out the 3-time reigning Champs, Chaminade, by the score of 6-0 pic.twitter.com/I13SK0h8oI — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 30, 2023 Climbing Mount Chaminade in late May is no small task. The monsters of the Catholic League have won 20 titles including the last three seasons. They’ve made a habit of winning championships and until proven otherwise, it was not smart to pick anyone else to win it all. With that being said, Holy Trinity has spent the past couple seasons building to this point where they could field a team with not only the talent but the experience to compete with the Flyers. In 2021, they won 2 games. Last season, they made a significant jump but fell short of the ...
