Tim Panetta carried a shutout into the 9th inning. He discusses the victory for Molloy pic.twitter.com/H0K4YqVKOm — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 17, 2019 Molloy has spent this weekend showing that they know how to score. After a double-header with Concordia, where they scored a combined 23 runs on the day, Molloy added another 10 in today’s win over Dominican. The question with Molloy is not whether they can score enough to win, but whether they can limit the opposition enough.. When they get performances from their starters like the one from today by Timothy Panetta, then Molloy will certainly be tough to beat moving forward. Panetta was dominant on the day, carrying a five-hit shutout into the 9th inning today. He did fall into some trouble in the 9th as Dominican was able ...
Fall Ball Series Presented by The Greene Turtle: Molloy
A loaded offense powered the Molloy Lions to a record of 31-21 in 2018, including an incredible 15-0 start in conference play, and it took an outstanding effort by Tyler Patane of St. Thomas Aquinas to put an end to their run in the ECC postseason. Nevertheless, it was another winning season for Head Coach Joe Fucarino, entering his 14th year, who will have the challenge this season of replacing some incredibly talented players and pillars of the program. The biggest loss is that of Angelo Navetta. Without question, he will be difficult to replace–and in the words of Fucarino, “impossible to replace.” The Staten Island native won our Most Valuable Player Award in 2016, and had an even better season in 2018 in which he batted .384, with a robust .478 OBP, .616 SLG, 45 runs...
Molloy Poised For Another Big Year
by Mike Guido 2016 Record: 31-23 (East Regional Appearance) Key Additions: Dominic Danetti (LHP), Luciano Morrello (RHP), Sean Hogan (C), James Messina (RHP), Anthony Vano (RHP), Matt Imbrogno (INF), Patrick Kennedy (RHP), Jake Saltzman (OF), Justyn Crisostomo (3B) Key Losses: Nick Gonchar (RF), Deilyn Guzman (RHP) After putting up a program-record 31-wins and earning the No. 6 overall seed in the East Region bracket of the NCAA Tournament last season, a heavily battle-tested Molloy team looks to do much of the same in 2017–if not better. With an overwhelming majority of last season’s roster returning including a loaded freshman class, success for this program looks imminent. Molloy has eight out of their starting nine returning in 2017 including ECC Player of the Year and Baseball o...
