Matt Prokopowicz Named Head Coach of St. Dominic HS
The St. Dominic Bayhawks have a new coach at the helm and it is Hofstra‘s hit king Matt Prokopowicz. He was an assistant to Brian Anderson last season. “I can’t even tell you how pumped I am for this,” said Prokopowicz in a state of jubilation. “I’ve been working for this for a long time. After being on the staff last year, I developed a good rapport with a lot of the kids. It’s a real pleasure to call St. Dominic my home and it’s really something special to have my own program. I’m hoping to be here for 15-20 years, maybe even more,” he added. Prokopowicz is among the most prolific hitters in Long Island history. In addition to an incredible career for Hofstra in which he batted .416 as a freshman (10th in the nation) and .431 as...
Jordan Ramlogan’s Triple Delivers Holy Trinity With Upset Over St. Dominic
Final: Holy Trinity 5, St. Dominic 3 The Titans advance to face No. 1 Chaminade on Monday at St. Joseph’s pic.twitter.com/EaJY5PKl5f — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 15, 2019 Don’t tell Holy Trinity they are underdogs. In the ultra-competitive CHSAA, the Titans know every team is tough and they also know they can compete with anyone. “I’ve told this team all year that if you play good baseball, take care of the ball, play together as group–they can beat anyone,” said second-year Head Coach Dan Luisi. “Doesn’t matter who they’re facing, just play tough, stay with your guys and compete, you have a shot to win any baseball game,” he said. They jumped out to an early 1-0 lead against Teddy Brennan on an RBI single by Stephen...
First Year Head Coach Brian Anderson Enters 2019 With Battle-Tested St. Dominic Team
Leading 3-0 in the fifth inning with reliable Johnny Flannigan on the hill, it appeared that St. Dominic was on the verge of forcing a do-or-die Championship Game against St. John the Baptist. After a wild turn of events and a go-ahead two-run triple by Matt Lavin, it was a disappointing end to the season for the Bay Hawks. Disappointing ends typically lead to motivated groups, and with first-year Head Coach Brian Anderson at the helm, there is no reason to believe this team won’t at least make it to the Championship Game again, and could be the favorites. Anderson, who is highly-regarded for his ability to motivate younger players, helped lead the 12U Body Armor Titans to first place in a 104-team tournament in Cooperstown during August 2017. “We have a great group of guys her...

Well-struck double by Boston College-commit Travis Honeyman pic.twitter.com/tlJp4MpSiG Axcess Baseball (@axcessbaseball) October 7, 2017 The bats of Motus Academy came out hot in their early afternoon victory over the Ontario Terriers, scoring five runs in the second inning. Lou Annunziata got it started with a single to left, and advanced to second when Frankie DiMartino was hit by a pitch. Brady Doran hit an RBI single to score Annunziata and Jason Vasil followed with a single of his own to score DiMartino. Boston College-commit Mikey Florides ripped a two-run single to extend the lead to 4-0 and Carlos Hidalgo followed with an opposite field RBI triple to right center to make it 5-0. “The guys really had a great approach,” said Head Coach Bryan Goelz. “They work...
Mikey Florides Commits to Boston College
Boston College has certainly taken advantage of the talented pool of players from Nassau County this summer as they have now received verbal commitment from St. Dominic 2019 SS Mikey Florides just one week after Massapequa 2020 Travis Honeyman did the same. Mikey transferred from Glen Cove HS prior to last season. He really generated tons of interest from Div-I schools this summer when he went on an offensive tear–going 18-for-22 against top competition. That, in addition to his defensive prowess, put him in the category with other elite middle infielders from the region. His brother, Andrew, was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013 and played in our second annual Battle of the Border in May. Below is our feature on him from this past January when he was a relative unknown. When ...
