After competing in the 15U Perfect Game Super25 National Championship tournament this past weekend, the Titans looked to right the ship in their fourth league game of the summer. They found themselves out in front early after putting a couple of run...

by Jacob Infald It was a tale of two games on Sunday June 8th in some early season LI Boys of Summer action in the 14U American Division. After a 1-1 tie that was centered around soft contact and great defense, Giac’s 463 Squad’s bats came alive in game two as they powered their way to a 10-3 victory over Yeti Baseball Navy behind sound pitching and a well-rounded approach at the plate.

Zach Sorensen is a former Major League infielder and is currently the Mental Performance Coach for the Cincinnati Reds. He recently hosted a zoom call with members of Yeti Baseball travel program. Below are some of the highlights of what he had to say: Mental Imagery -You don’t need to use every mental strategy but you need a foundation of strategies. -Most athletes are taught to “step up” in the big moment, but the fact is that you sink to the level of your training, so if you work on your mental training, you will be ahead of your competition. -Mental imagery is what you see in your mind. -The brain does not know the difference between what you see and what you do. -Prior to getting on the Zoom call, Zach attended the Reds vs Angels Spring Training game. He emphasized h...
(Editor’s Note: This is the ninth of a 10-part “Where Are They Now” series in which look back on some of the top players in Long Island history. Previously, we featured James Bailin, Jeff Tyler, Jake Thomas, Luke Stampfl, Nick Trabacchi, Thomas Roulis, Billy Alvino and Matt Prokopowicz. Special thanks to Prime Performance for sponsoring this year’s series.) Had Instagram and TikTok been around, there’s no doubt there would’ve been a barrage of content built around Connetquot in the late 80s and all of the 1990s. They were the premier baseball program in Suffolk County, capturing the State Championship in 1989 and 1995 and were always contending for a County Championship under the late, great Bob Ambrosini. In 1999, Connetquot did not win the County Champ...

The second inning was not as easy for Rivera though, as he ran into a bases loaded one out situation after giving up a single to Mike Fosorile and walking two batters.
