Baseball in the Lower Hudson Valley

On tap for this week (weather permitting)

April
28

Six games are on the schedule this week for Jake and I, although the forecast looks horrendous.

In a way, I guess it was bound to happen. The last two weeks haven’t even remotely resembled April. For example: I haven’t had to dress like an Alaskan ice fisherman for games, which, perhaps incidentally, I’ve appreciated greatly.

As long as the weather isn’t too nasty, here’s a look at what we’re covering:

Monday — Tuckahoe vs. Keio, at Manhattanville College, 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday — Rye at Pelham, at Glover Field, 4:30 p.m.

Thursday — Briarcliff at Kennedy, 4:30 p.m.

Saturday — Siegriest tournament at Nyack, 4 and 7 p.m., and Mamaroneck at Don Bosco, 3 p.m.

Sunday — Clarkstown South tournament, 10:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.

There are a bevy of others key games this week. Tell us what else we should look out for…

  2. vikings

    North South Tuesday night

  3. the game

    Mamaroneck vs John Jay weather permitted

  4. Pelham Phanatic

    Rye is going to get RUN OVER this week.
    Pelham is going to abuse them… they are going to walk away from glover field battered…physically and mentally. Bonsall should wear a cage on his helment because there is a 85 mile an hour fastball destined for his 1st team all-state face.

  5. sec1 fan

    Well that’s a little over the top Pelham Phanatic, but I do think that Pelham will beat Rye badly this week, Bratone and Baker are going to baffle the Rye hitters.

  6. mamk

    what teams are still undefeated?

  7. Josh Thomson

    mamk…I think Mamaroneck and Ketcham are the lone unbeatens in all of Section 1.

  8. sec 1

    ketcham and carmel have a 3 game series this week…you should take a look at that game.

  9. sec-1

    chill out phanatic, people like u give pelham a bad rep, and i know people in pelham arent as unclassy as u so how about u just let them play the game and keep your thoughts to urself

  10. bronco

  11. Dragon

    Pelham Phanatic,
    Seriously, What is wrong with you? Double your meds please and go see your therapist more often.

  12. baseball fan

    pelham phanatic relax, what do you have against bonsall being first team all state?

  13. sec1 fan

    Maybe it’s some Rye kid who wants to stir the pot with that comment… I know I’ve never seen a Pelham Phanatic on this blog or any other one for that matter…

  14. baseball fan

    section 1 fan you dont htink thats a pelham kid, what are you saying of course it is

  15. Pelham Phanatic

    Not even broseph, i hate Rye, I aint from Pelham tho. i know mad chill kids from Pelham and we don’t get to play Rye this year so I want Pelham to do it for us.

  16. baseball fan

    phanatic-
    while i can see that you are clearly unstable and have nothing better to do than threaten kids for other towns i have bad news for you. bonsall is academically ineligible and wont be able to play in either game…and he is better at football then you are, were, or ever will be so get over it because they won the state championship in november and your still crying about it

  17. red raider

    NR at Suffern today
    Big Game if it stops raining.

  18. Pel Fan

    Pelahm and Rye play fiday also

  19. rye fan

    the rye-pelham game scheduled for today was canceled and will be played saturday. i think rye has a good chance, theyre 9-2 and have a real strong team team this year.

  20. red raider

    NR at Suffern on Saturday
    this is gonna be big

  21. sec-1

    rye fan, are u sure the game is scheduled for saturday because i know that some kids have sat’s

  22. Different Rye Fan

    I also heard Rye-Pelham rescheduled for Sat. 11:00 am, but since SAT’s are going on then and Rye has only 5 seniors, they would need to bring the JV to have enough guys to play. I have to assume this will be changed.

  23. baseball man

    pelham phanatic where are you from? do u like pelham better than ur own town, are u so jealous of bonsall that the only way to let ur anger out is say that

  24. Pelham Phanatic

    Nah i just dont like cocky kids who taunt when they score…I also dont like kids who come to hockey games drunk..try to start fights and then get ejected.. and also play dirty on the basketball court
    Just my opinion

  25. rye fan

    doesnt matter rye has athletes that can play any position unlike phelam, their catcher can play anywhere theirshortstop and secondbaseman along with the third baseman,shiattttt

  26. rye fan 3

  27. sec-1

    rye fan, can you be a little more descriptive and back that up? what do they have over the pelham players?

  28. rye fan 3

    w e man this is matt cohen lets stop arguing cant we all just be friends?

  29. fan

    pelham has superior pitching to rye, not much debate there

  30. sec-1

    i guess ryes gonna win both since they just seem to be soo good at everything, but sure matt lets all be friends

  31. jason

    Matt I heard you were terrible and although it says your god on maxpreps how many at-bats do you have and are those legit hits or bloopers. seriously.

  32. Matt Cohen

    i am Matt cohen and that was not me saying that, someone thought it was funny to use my name to do that, im not starting anything here, it will be good games,

  33. Matt Cohen

    I am Matt Cohen, and i approve this message

  34. sec1 fan

    Pelham has better pitching- Bratone and Baker
    Hitting-Szymanski, Keller, Volpe, Mustafa and Small
    Im basing this off online stats and what I saw last year, so I cant say much about baserunning and fielding, but Pelham was good in those last year, and they didn’t lose any position players so it’s probably the same.

  35. matt cohen

    cheap hits

  36. schedule

    Josh, what games will you or Jake be going to on Thursday and Friday?

  37. Josh Thomson

    schedule…Unfortunately, I’m not headed to any games. I’m on TV on Thursday, and I’m off on Friday because I’m moving into a new apartment and I have the Mamaroneck-Bosco game on Saturday. Jake is headed out to Pelham-Rye on Friday.

    What should we be looking out for?

  38. schedule

Dan Diaz, Nanuet, infielder: Eyes turned to the junior shortstop/pitcher after his 17-strikeout virtuoso on May 2. His next start was a no-hitter, followed by a two-hit shutout. Using a biting slider and upper 80s fastball, he went 7-1 with a 2.10 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 46.2 innings. Over the last month he batted .550 to raise his season average to .446. His 1.258 OPS was No. 3 in the county; his ERA was No. 4. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Steve Putnick, Pearl River, utility: The graduations of Sean Giblin, Ian Reese, and Jeff Allison left Putnick, a pitcher/third baseman, as Pearl River’s one returning star. The Pirates were 6-3 in his starts; 6-9 otherwise. The senior, who will walk on at Marist, threw more innings than anyone in Rockland except Aviles. He was a table-setter in the 3-hole, reaching base nearly half the time. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Adonis Germosen, East Ramapo, infielder: The Titan bats didn’t hit like they were supposed to, with one exception. Germosen, a senior catcher, belted homers in three straight games before April was even half over ‹ the last of which Carmel coach Bob Shilling called the farthest he’s ever seen at his home field. He hit a county-high six while scoring 24 runs and driving in 20, earning a late roster spot at St. Thomas Aquinas. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Bill Smith, Nanuet, outfielder: The senior provided the legs in Nanuet’s multi-pronged attack. He swiped a base in 13 different games and led the county with 16 steals overall. Part of that was opportunity ‹ he hit over.400 with a .479 on-base percentage. Because of all his mischief on the basepaths, he scored 25 runs, third-best in Rockland. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Ron Gamma, Suffern, coach of the year: After suffering a disheartening 16-0 loss on opening day, it became a wire-to-wire season for the Mounties, who quickly established themselves as the top team in Rockland and proved it by making the Class AA sectional final. Other coaches were most impressed that Gamma negotiated his way through 12 League I-B games without a loss. He knew when to step in and when to cede decisions to his pitching coach. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Jordan Kolinsky, Clarkstown South, infielder: When the senior was shelved with an ankle injury in mid-May, Clarkstown South tumbled. The Vikings went 0-7 with their pitcher/first baseman first sidelined and then hobbled. Despite the handicap, Kolinsky managed to bat .414 with 28 RBI. As a pitcher he was carefully confusing, never throwing the same speed twice in the same at-bat. His 1.78 ERA ranked No. 2 in the county. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Jim Brennan, Suffern, outfielder: Potential had exceeded production for the center fielder. Until his junior year, when he exploded for a .467 average ‹ 200 points better than last year ‹ with a county-leading 34 runs, 10 doubles and nearly .900 slugging percentage, with 25 RBI from the leadoff spot.  As Suffern’s third starter he went 5-1, including a masterful playoff performance at John Jay. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Nick Viohl, North Rockland, pitcher: North Rockland leaned heavily on senior pitchers Fasano and Viohl. Viohl delivered with a 1.67 ERA, lowest in Rockland County and eighth-lowest in the section among those with at least 30 innings. He allowed only 26 hits in 46 innings, an incredible ratio. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
Tyler Rorick, Tappan Zee, outfielder: Tappan Zee’s season was almost dead when Rorick pitched the Dutchmen to a 3-1 victory over Pearl River that revived their hopes. As they were winning 12 of 16 he hit in every game. He batted .500 over that stretch and .422 for the year. Without the senior’s clutch stick and arm, Tappan Zee would have folded. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
Joe Ferrara, Clarkstown North, utility: With Chris O’Grady out, the toughest pitching assignments fell to the senior. Even when used in relief, it was in crucial situations, allowing him to pick up decisions in 10 of 11 appearances. As a hitter he was an on-base machine (19 walks) because of a keen eye for pitches. He’ll join Germosen and Wargo at St. Thomas Aquinas. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
George Wargo, North Rockland, infielder: The preseason began with the senior in a battle to be the starting catcher. Coach Tom Lynch has to be happy with his choice after Wargo threw out 60 percent of baserunners. He thrived behind the plate, delivering a .403 average ‹ 100 points higher than last year ‹ to provide rare consistency in North Rockland’s order. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
