GAME RECAP: Seaford Tops Plainedge 6-2 to Punch Ticket to Class A County Finals
by Tucker Terranova Final: Seaford 6, Plainedge 2 The Vikings knock out top-seeded Plainedge and advance to the County Finals for the first time since 2023! pic.twitter.com/pFW0mkhgMw — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 25, 2025 Getting no-hit in the opening game of a best-of-three semifinal series is far from ideal. But having been in the same situation during the quarterfinal round against Clarke, Seaford knew what it would take to pull off a comeback. The No. 3 seed bounced back the only way it knew how—shutting out top-seeded Plainedge in Game 2, then sealing the series with a 6-2 win in Saturday’s rubber match. The victory sends the Vikings to the Nassau Class A county finals for the first time since their 2023 title run. “We just want to keep playing with our seniors,” junior ...

by Max Edelman Island Trees take the lead! Bobby Westcott connects on a two out, two-run home run to put the Red Devils ahead 3-2 in the top of the fifth. pic.twitter.com/ibKazxVYMS — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 28, 2025 The Plainedge Red Devils keep on rolling, as they traveled to and defeated the Island Trees Bulldogs 6-2. Trailing 2-1, a two-run homer off the bat of Stony Brook-commit Bobby Wescott gave the Red Devils the lead and they never looked back, scoring five unanswered runs en route to their 12th straight victory to begin the season. “The pitcher was hitting his spots.” Wescott said after the game. “It was a long at-bat, I got to a 3-2 count. They know how to pitch here at Island Trees, but if you leave a fastball up in the zone, you’re going to do some damage wi...

After a solid 2024 season, the Red Devils are ready to make some noise in 2025. “Looking back on our season, I thought that we had a good season.” Fratrik said. “We were extremely competitive throughout the season, finishing in 2nd place in our conference, and lost in the semi’s to a really good Wantagh team. We felt like we had chances to win that game 3, but didn’t make enough p...

Jaxson Torres (‘27 NY) absolutely dominant for Body Armor Titans in the chip, went the distance and picked up 7 Ks w/ only 1 H allowed. FB in mid-upper 8s w/ good drive created down slope, still has plenty of upside in frame for future #NEWS@PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/0FeJeCqSw1 — PG Mid Atlantic (NY, NJ, PA, MD,DE,DC) (@PGMidAtlantic) July 30, 2024 If you look at a pie chart of amateur baseball players, a very small sliver (2%) of that has a shot at playing at a Division-I program. A fraction of those have a chance to play two Division-I sports. Plainedge sophomore Jaxson Torres has a shot to be one of those. As a freshman, he was dynamite for the Red Devils – compiling a 2.26 ERA over 34 innings with 3 wins, 48 strikeouts and only 25 hits allowed. He started two playoff games and ...

Congrats boys! @axcessbaseball #TitanNation pic.twitter.com/Ieux8SKIwA — Titans (@TitansBsb) July 12, 2024 Bobby Wescott had a terrific 2024 season for the Plainedge Red Devils. Though he was just a sophomore, he led the way offensively with a .420 batting average, .553 OBP and incredible 1.321 OPS. He compiled 29 hits, six doubles, six triples, four HRs, drove in 29 runs and scored 15 runs. He recently announced his commitment to Stony Brook University. He still has two full seasons of high school remaining, which is certainly bad news for opposing pitchers. His coach Colin Fratrik had the followin...
GAME RECAP: Plainedge Defeats Mepham 8-3 On Senior Night
by Mike Merolle B1: Jayden Loccisano makes it 3-0 on an RBI double. Plainedge grounded in a run as well to make it 4-0 in the first inning. pic.twitter.com/NlBs3SkmDQ — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 26, 2024 The Plainedge Red Devils arrived at their home field on Friday for another game on their schedule but this one had a special meaning. It was senior night which is an annual tradition where the senior players are honored before and after the game. “It’s a great night for our seniors to come together for the last senior night of their career. Let’s have a good time, have some fun,” said Santino Battista, Plainedge’s senior arm. The Mepham Pirates rolled in hopes of capturing another win in the win column but were unsuccessful as Plainedge won 8-4. Battista was on his game...
GAME RECAP: Plainedge Defeats MacArthur In A Home-Opener Pitcher’s Duel
by Mike Merolle The @GCsports player of the game is Plainedge’s Matt Rosenberg. Rosenberg struck out 7 batters and allowed 0 runs helping Plainedge defeat MacArthur on Monday. pic.twitter.com/qIW69YjPji — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 1, 2024 It was a score only a pitcher could love. Plainedge defeated MacArthur, 1-0, at home in a non-league game to open the 2024 schedule. Tyler Bonsignore was on the mound for MacArthur and he was near perfect. Bonsignore had two strikeouts in both the first and second inning and three in the third. He opened the fourth inning with his eighth strikeout of the day but Plainedge’s bats retaliated. Bobby Wescott hit a solo home run to open the game’s scoring. The lefty-on-lefty blast put a dent in the scoresheet but Bonsignore closed the inning...
Plainedge Looking to Build on Season Which Featured Road Playoff Win
by Mike Merolle Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series. Final: Plainedge 11, Clarke 1 WP: Dom Pannitti (1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 Ks) Zach Rosenzweig: 3-for-4, 3 RBIs, 1 Run Plainedge eliminates Clarke and will face Mepham tomorrow pic.twitter.com/b5ol2TJbt5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 18, 2023 Plainedge had reason to be proud of 2023 in which they went on the road against a tough Clarke team and won a playoff game. Their season was cut short, however, by Mepham in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. Head coach Colin Fratrik looks for another successful season in his 11th season managing Plainedge. This year’s squad is missing a few key players that graduated in 2023. Marcelo Licata played third base for Fratrik pro...

Final: Plainedge 11, Clarke 1 WP: Dom Pannitti (1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 Ks) Zach Rosenzweig: 3-for-4, 3 RBIs, 1 Run Plainedge eliminates Clarke and will face Mepham tomorrow pic.twitter.com/b5ol2TJbt5 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 18, 2023 Fifth time’s a charm. Plainedge, having been swept by rival Clarke during the regular season and lost early in the week during the playoffs, finally got their revenge and eliminated the Nassau powerhouse on Thursday by the score of 11-1. The game was uncharacteristic of Clarke, who suffered some defensive miscues including two costly ones in the first inning that allowed the inning to be extended and Plainedge batted around scoring 5 runs. The inning started with back-to-back well-struck doubles by Nick Gerardi and Zach Rosenzweig, both na...
Plainedge Looking to Replace Talented Crop of Seniors From 2022
by Brian Honka Plainedge 7, Island Trees 6 WP: Dom Pannitti Walk-off hit by Ben Ellenport pic.twitter.com/X2YtARi5vR — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 10, 2022 Plainedge is looking to have another great season coming off a playoff appearance in which the team went 13-9 and made it to the quarterfinals where they were eliminated by eventual county champs, Calhoun. They will come into the season without 2 of the team’s starting pitchers from last year. Team ace Tyler Kregeloh was named to the All-Long Island second Team after a 5-2 record with a 1.09 ERA and a .88 WHIP. Ben Ellenport who now pitches at Farmingdale will also be missed. Ellenport notched a 2.40 ERA and won 2 games. Other players the team will be without this year will be Troy Emmanual (Old Westbury) and Pat Reye...

The Plainedge sophomore fired five strong innings and even contributed a sac fly at the plate to get his offense going in the third inning. The game was played at a brisk pace – it was completed in just over 90 minutes thanks to strong pitching on both sides. B1000 Seminoles sent Ryan Kenny to the hill to oppose Rosenberg and both pitchers had their good stuff going. The game was scoreless through two innings, although LIB was able to get ...

Nick Berasti and Ben Ellenport started on the mound for Clarke and Plainedge, respectively, with Berasti earning the victory.
