Anytime Long Island baseball fans see Longwood in the news this season it has revolved around their dynamic pitcher CJ Forman and his no hitters or perfect games. But Longwood is more than just Forman and that was on full display this week as the regular season closed out.
Left handed pitcher Dean Ennis joined the ranks of Lions this year to throw a no hitter. Ennis struck out 16 batters with a no hit effort against Central Islip and help make Longwood the League I Champions. The Lions finished the year 16-4 overall and 16-2 in league play.
Ennis finishes the year with 4 wins and combined with Forman makes a very scary 1-2 punch for anyone facing the Lions. The Lions had an 11 game win streak during this season that was highlighted by their dominant pitching staff. The Lions allowed just 11 total runs over the streak and that isn't the most eye popping statistic. They shut out each of their last 5 opponents during that streak and finished the season with ten games where they didn't allow more than a single run.
