Josh,
Any score eastchester vs pearl river!
Suffern 2-0 over Greeley (Final)

Scarsdale over JJEF 6-5
So it looks like Eastchester got revenge on Pearl River from last year and Mamaroneck is going to get its revenge on Carmel this year.
Who did Suffern Pitch? Aviles?
Aviles…complete game
Rye won at Tappan Zee, 3-1
jjcr over clarkstown north 6-5
and green did not pitch
Are the Scarsdale and John Jay games finals?
arlington up 7-2 in the top 6 and did not pitch ackley or britton. pitched their number three albrich.
Jay game is. Good game. Jay made a few errors which they usually don’t do. North played well. They are big and are well coached.
ardsley beat pannas 4-3, complete game for gomi, 3 run homer for dylan marshall
Scarsdale over jjef 6-5 final
Scarsdale won? Wow! That’s an upset.
9-2 to arlington final
Putnam beat Hastings 2-1 in 8 innings today. Absolutely incredible game, and pitchers duel. A bloop goes Putnam’s way and that meant the ball game. Hats off to both teams there.
Holy cow. Congrats to scarsdale, big upset.
Congras to Mamk for getting a monkey off their back. Now they only have three more monkeys to get off their backs.
Yorktown won 1-0. Dan Mason threw a 1 hitter…bunt base hit with 2 outs in the sixth. Fasano was good, allowed a homerun in the second. Yorktown centerfielder Rodriguez robbed a Fasano hr to end the game. Well played game by both teams.
Bronxville and Plesantville are tied 3-3 going into the top of the 8th when the game was called due to excessive rain and thunder. They will finish where they left off tomorrow at Noon at Scouts field in Bronxville.
Why did Mahopac and Fox Lane postpone? It’s not even raining out.
yeah I’m not sure, but I did hear Fox Lane’s prom was last night? huh….go figure.
Congratulations to Chris Dearwester on Con Ed, you deserve it
Aviles was only so – so and still threw a shut out and 4 hitter.
Is Green for JJCR injured. He hasn’t thrown since May 8?
any updates on Byrum Hills/Hen Hud or Lourdes/Beaken?
Ok Rye Neck got the win over Westlake. Yes Westlake didn’t help themselves offensively but in reality neither did the panthers. The story at this game was the incredibly inconsistant calls coming from behind the plate. You don’t mind a big or a tight strike zone but no one should have to endure guessing where it is and that’s what the ump did to this game. The pitchers on both sides sufferred but the last call of the game was the most insane one of all. Bottome of the 7th with 2 outs and a 1 – 1 tie the panthers load the bases with the help of the ump. He then calls ball 4 on a pitch that was a clear strike from almost any angle to end the game. He should be embarrassed. Frankly, to call that pitch a ball in that situation he should be removed or provided with a free Lasik procedure. But it was starting to rain again so maybe he had had enough. Ending a sectional playoff game on that bad a call shouldn’t happen to Westlake, Rye Neck or any team that’s fought their way to the playoffs. Congrats to the panthers…they owe a great deal to the ump behind the plate for that win…maybe they go on to win in extra innings, maybe they don’t…the ump should have made the proper call and allowed the kids to decide the game.
The Westlake catcher is one of the quietest kids in the world and his reaction to the call said it all…the ump knows better than to end a playoff game like that…
Hen Hud 13 Byram Hills 5
Rye Neck 2 Westlake 1
Also a parent at the Arlington game mentioned that her son plays summer ball with JJCR’s Steven Green. She said that Green does indeed have a shoulder injury. no need to go into details, lets hope he bounces back. He has a ton of talent
Bob Jones-
yess green for jjcr is injured and may not be able to pitch for the rest of the year.
johnny swertfager pitched today as green played left field. Green is able to play left field but can’t pitch(something with his throwing arm). great game for anthony iacomini (sorry for spelling) with 2 hrs (1 solo and a 2run home run). CN played good but an error in the bottom of the sixth let jj take the lead 6-5 and then they kept the lead as chris eidem got the save
Somers-Brewster game….Brewster dropped 3 fly balls in the 1st inning that led to 3 Somers runs…Probably only about half of Somers runs were earned. They yanked Zlotnick after four innings and about 50-60 pitches….I guess they are going to try and bring him back Tuesday…if they do, that’s wrong, he’s a kid and he still threw, TODAY!!! Two days rest?? Maybe just over speculation by me, maybe they don’t. Anyone know why the big kid from Somers who’s going to Villanova and was also supposed to be a stud pitcher for them has only thrown like 19 innings this year???
I would assume Eidam got the win as the winning run was scored while he was in the game. I think he entered tied.
Thanks Laxdude…....hmmmm Green would have made that bracket more interesting than it already is…....
yes sorry not the save, the win
josh, i have the video of the last out of the yorktown north rockland game where Nick Rodriguez robbed the homerun. I can email the video to you if you want. If you want the video please send me you email address
Yorktown…Please do. jthomson@lohud.com
It’s interesting that Green can’t pitch but he can play left field. What does he do throw the ball in righty?
Hen hud vs Eastchester..Should be good game..2 experienced coaches…Still have not heard much talk about TJ Oleszcuk from Hen Hud…4-4 3 doubles…Outstanding def..
How about an updated bracket?
I checked with a Somers player. 44 pitches.
scarsdale congrats on ur win…i guess our league is not as weak after all…
Class A Quarterfinals are set:
(9)Ardsley at (1)Lakeland
(12)Rye at (4)Somers
(6)Eastchester at (3)Hen Hud
(10)Lourdes at (2)Pelham
HOLD ON….
I’m not sure about the Beacan-Lourdes game.(above)——-The winner would play Pelham.
Thet played at three…..any score?
Good Class A Matchups!!! Lakeland should take out Ardlsey with Ardlsey’s ace out of the mix there and Hourihan on the mound…Rye plays solid D and could give Somers a game, doubt it though…I think Eastchester might knock Hen Hud out, but I don’t know who Hen Hud threw today, it depends on that…and I think the big upset could be Lourdes taking out Pelham…
Ooooooo, I don’t know I haven’t heard, anyone know score on the Lourdes-Beacon game???
Lourdes won 7-6 vs Beacon according to The Poughkeepsie Journal Varsity Club Blog.
With the victory over JJEF today, I think Scarsdale should go up the ranks after beating- C.South, Ketcham, Suffern and now JJEF in the sectionals.
Who’s Pitching for Ardsley on Monday against Lakeland???
So I have heard that Kennedy’s catcher is seriously injured. Any truth to that? It could have a hell of an impact on the B playoff.
PIGSKINAL
I was at the game. Could not have said it better myself. That ump was either related to the wiched witch of the west and could not get wet, or was on the take.
Pigskinal and Henry O
No matter what your opinion is on the call, it doesn’t excuse the Westlake fans who screamed threats at the umpire as he walked off the field. Classless!
To suggest that he was paid off is simply asinine.
Hey, maybe Sam Champion was in on it too!
idiot.
even with the jjef loss, there is a little to celebrate about. Joe Panik broke the record for hits in a career among Section AA players. Tied it with a homerun and broke it with a homerun. Congratulations to him. He deserves every ounce of credit he has received.
Tough loss for jjef though. Bobby Smith came in after the starter gave up 6 runs in 3 plus innings and shut them down. many question not starting him to begin with, but thats a whole other issue. Great game played by Scarsdale, definitely deserved the Win. My hats off to both teams, both played their butts off.
Keep in mind, the past 3 years jjef has lost all 3 of their sectional games AT HOME. Home field advantage is not to their advantage i guess.
Risenabove…you are absolutely right. The only thing more embarrassing than that call was the way some of the Westlake parents reacted to it. I agree 110%. I no longer have kids in the school but did and I’ve already written an email to the Athletic Director at Westlake.
That said, what’s your opinion on the call and how the game ended?
PS Risenabove…Not at all condoning the behavior but I’ve been to many Westlake athletic events and have never seen behavior like that…again, it doesn’t make it right but the call was horrendous and they reacted…unfortunately poorly.
IT WAS A BALL!Rye neck has a better team.
A better team? A 1 – 1 tie into the bottom of the 7th is not a better team…it was a ball because it was called a ball by an umpire that had a moving strike zone…that’s the most unfair way to call a game…pitchers on both sides suffered….the kid from Westlake pitched a great game if you look at the stats…should not have ended that way period. Congrats to Rye Neck and good luck vs Nanuet…hope you don’t have to endure an ump like that one again during the playoffs.
