We have a new Suffolk County high school baseball record. Evan Kay made history last week when he fired a scoreless inning. The Commack varsity baseball pitcher set the Suffolk County consecutive scoreless-innings record with his 54th straight inning without allowing a run.
Kay has been dominant all season and against Sachem North he broke a record that has stood since 2016. He struck out four and allowed two hits in a complete game shutout. That brought his season stats up to 3 wins and a save on the pitching side of things, while he is also a good hitter adding one home run to his totals.
Evan Kay beat Anthony Kay's mark set in that 2016 season. There is no relation between the two pitchers, but their names will always be linked in the record books now. Anthony Kay was drafted by the New York Mets and pitched at Ward Melville. He has made a combined 44 major league appearances (seven starts) with the Blue Jays, Cubs and Mets. Evan Kay has committed to Stony Brook after he graduates and hopes to have the same sort of career success as his namesake.
Evan, and Commack sit at 9-4 overall with two three game series left on their schedule against Ward Melville and Connetquot.
