The 2024 high school baseball season in Suffolk county is only a few weeks into the season and we already have very few teams with an unblemished record. The Commack Cougars are one of them that remain. Commack put on a pitching display this week that will have people turning their heads and taking notice of their unbeaten record and what might be on the horizon for this team.
Commack sits atop Suffolk's League 2, barely fighting off Sachem North, who are nipping at their tails. The Cougars put everyone on notice this week though with a two game set against Lindenhurst. The Cougars won both games by shutting out Lindenhurst and they had two brilliant pitching performances.
On Tuesday Zach Winter threw a complete game no-hitter. Winter was just one walk away from a perfect game and he struck out eight in the effort. Not to be outdone the next day, Commack followed that shutout with another one. This was on the back of Evan Kay who went the distance in a four hit effort, striking out eight. Kay is no stranger to pitching dominance as he put himself on everyone's watch list last season with a one hitter to open Suffolk's AA finals.
With Sachem North right behind them in the standings Commack will need more efforts like these all season long but for the fans of the Cougars this was one heck of a week and a no-hitter that will be remembered for a long time.
