No No for Longwood
While it's still early in the high school baseball season there was a pivotal matchup waged this week between first place William Floyd and second place Longwood. The early season series was circled in the preseason as a battle for first place and that is exactly the kind of game that was delivered. After the dust had settled William Floyd might have remained at the top of the standings, but it was Longwood who stole the headlines, or rather CJ Foreman.
Shutout City for Commack
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.
And Then There Was One
As the Suffolk baseball calendar entered last week there were a few teams who had yet to endure their first loss of the season.

Ben Brown's Big Debut
Ben Brown was as good as advertised as he made his major league debut this past week, and that comes as no surprise for anyone who watched him excel at Ward Melville just a few years ago. Brown was just what the doctor ordered, or in this case what his head coach Craig Counsell needed. After blowing an eight run lead the night before, Brown shut down the San Diego Padres in his first big-league start for 4 2/3 shutout innings at Petco Park. The Padres managed just three hits, one walk and struck out five times against the East Setauket native.
Spallina is Splendid
Senior day is always a special time for players and coaches alike, but this season there was a little extra something special for the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team. Head coach Joe Spallina won his 200th game as head coach of the SeaWolves, and doing it on senior day was just the icing on the cake. Spallina led the Stony Brook women's lacrosse to a decisive victory over Delaware, 17-4. The Seawolves were led by Kaitlyn Clark, who scored a career-high seven goals, six of which came in the first half of play.
