HV splits…again

- 25
The Hudson Valley baseball team fell to 2-2 after a 3-0 loss to defending gold medalist Long Island this afternoon. HV had won on a shutout of its own in the earlier game behind Suffern ace Robbie Aviles, who outdueled Mount St. Michael senior Thomas Cardona 3-0.
Still, HV’s predicament is this: It must beat Western tomorrow morning if it hopes to play for a medal. Western and Adirondack are both 3-1, and Long Island is 2-2. It’s very complicated, but if HV beats Western, Long Island loses to Central and Adirondack loses to NYC, then Hudson Valley will still have a chance to play for gold. If Hudson Valley wins it will play for some kind of medal no matter what.
On an interesting note, Sean Hagan had asked for the ball in the gold-medal game. It’ll be interesting to see if he pitches tomorrow vs. Western in what is a must-win game.
Anyway, day 2 of the tournament was not one for hitting stars. Tim Panetta of Fox Lane and Zack Graczyk of Carmel were the only players who had multiple hits.
