by Trevor Dugan For the first time since 2019, Sayville has won the Class A Long Island Championship! FINAL: Sayville 1 – Wantagh 0 pic.twitter.com/vwbRbYnZap — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 5, 2025 For the first time since 2019 the Sayville Golden Flashes have won the Class A Long Island Championship.

GAME RECAP: Sayville Captures Suffolk Class A Championship Over Bayport-Blue Point
For the first time since 2019 Sayville has captured the Suffolk Class A Championship! 🏆 pic.twitter.com/9Mgw8Fwy8u — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 31, 2025 On paper, you had one team with a 21-1 record and another with a 15-7 record. In reality, these teams were much closer than you would realize – and not just because they are neighboring towns on the south shore of Suffolk County. Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point, two blue bloods of baseball on Long Island, squared off for the second time in a team. Earlier in the week, Sayville handed Bayport their first loss of the season after 21 wins. On Saturday, Sayville defeated them, 8-1, to capture their first Class A Championship since 2019. The Golden Flashes competed in the ultra-competitive League 6, in which all 7 teams were...

With Rocky Point leading 4-3 and the potential tying run on third, Brody Tellier gave one a ride to deep left center field, Jackson Marte made the catch at the fence to seal the win and the series victory. Rocky Point sent RHP Vito Spadafina to the hill against freshman Nate Lewis of Sayville. The hometown nine got on the board first in the bottom of the first on an E5 that scored Kyle Messina. Spadafina was able to avoid further damage with a fly out to right field off the bat o...

Sayville Looks to Follow Up On Fantastic 2022 Season
Sayville RHP Ryan Karman fired a no-hitter with 8 Ks over Harborfields in a 9-0 win pic.twitter.com/8LQUcYRZQY — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 18, 2022 It was a tremendous season for the Sayville Golden Flashes who captured the League VI Championship and made a deep playoff run before losing to Mount Sinai in the Conference IV Championship. Head Coach Joe Esposito had the following to say: “We had a fantastic season going 19-1 and taking the league title. In playoffs, we ran into a tough pitching staff against Mount Sinai and lost two close games. Ball needs to bounce your way in playoffs and it didn’t for us last year. Hoping to capitalize on last season with many returning players. Two guys at the top of our staff have some experience now with Karman really stepp...

Playing in a Conference IV elimination game, Sayville sent RHP Ryan Karman to the mound against Brady Clark and the red-hot Bayport-Blue Point Phantoms. As he has done all season, Karman was lights-out.

The crowd was absolutely packed with fa...
Sayville Looking to Regain Magic of 2019
By Michael Malaszczyk Brock Murtha’s no-hitter sends Sayville to the N.Y. state championship for the first time in program history! pic.twitter.com/HOYA7iindr — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 9, 2019 Coach Joseph Esposito of Sayville is ready to take on 2022. Sayville had a solid season in 2021. Coming off of the 2020 season which never began, Sayville ended their 2021 season in third place in their conference, losing 2-1 to East Islip in the semifinals. There is absolutely no shame in losing a close playoff game to East Islip; who ended up sweeping the Long Island Championship. Sayville’s defense still managed to hold a high-octane offense to two runs. Going back even further than 2021, Sayville won the Long Island Championship in 2019, also under Coach Esposito. But despite Sa...
