Hey everyone. I’m just about to head out to watch a couple games today. I’m going to swing by Mamaroneck since it’s the only 11 a.m. game nearby, then head to cover Yorktown vs. Saunders at Fleming Field. I’m interested to take a look at Saunders and see if it’s for real.
I’ll pass along scores. I’ll try and get Jake’s score from Clarkstown South-North Rockland. If I hear of anything, or if you hear of anything, please let’s try to keep the updates flowing. This will be our scoreboard for today.

What’s the Mamaroneck score?
4-0 Mamaroneck, bottom 5.
5-1 Ketcham, bottom 4.
Ill let you know who is pitching for Suffern and John Jay in a bit.
Ok its going to be Aviles vs. Hirschberg. Steve Green is available to pitch in relief so that could be a factor.
Mamaroneck led 5-0 after 5 when I left.
Is benkwitt pitching for mamaroneck?
mamaroneck won today 6-0, benkwitt pitched 6 innings
Benkwitt pitched six scoreless and McGovern closed it. Mamaroneck won 6-0. Well pitched game on both sides. Ian Lindsay and Martin Aranda did well to hold Mamaroneck to six runs.
Yorktown just scored two unearned runs in the second and leads Saunders 2-0 in the middle of the second. Saunders Ave Ruben Reyes is opposed by Steve Nardozzi for Yorktown. Nardozzi allowed a one out single but stranded the runner at third.
Yorktown still up 2-0 after 2. Saunders had two on with one out and couldn’t push either runner across.
Ketcham final 5-1
Clarkstown South leads North Rockland 1-0 after 1. Like I said, Jake is at that one.
Saunders just cut its deficit in half on a long home run by Andrickson Zorilla, who smoked a pitch over the fence in right.
Suffern went ahead on a home run, but John Jay just tied it on a double by Anthony Iacomini that scored Steve Green. 1-1 bottom 4.
John Jay went up 2-1 in the fourth and still leads by that same score bottom five. Iacomini moved to third on a wild pickoff throw and scored on as sac fly after his double. Alan Filauro hit the sac fly.
Yorktown leads 3-1 in the top of the sixth. The Huskers knocked out Reyes by putting two one with one out in the fifth. Reliever Mike Nolan picked off a runner but threw a wild pitch.
North Rockland took a 2-1 lead against Clarkstown South and knocked out South starter Joe DePool. Phil Martino is pitching for North Rockland.
haldane beat tuckahoe 5-4 after a 7th inning rally in which they werelosing4-3.. and will be playing keio in the semis monday.
HH 5 – 2 in the 5th over tz.
Spoke too soon. North Rockland now leads 5-1 after 3. Anthony Gokey hit a three run triple.
Yorktown just scored two and is still batting in the sixth, up 5-1. Saunders’ D is falling apart.
Yorktown just put up seven in the sixth and leads 10-1. The big hit was a pinch hit three run triple by Jake Matranga.
Saunders has committed three errors, issued nine walks and thrown two wild pitches with a runner on third. This is not how the Blue Devils have played all season.

Albrecht came out of the game after the 4th. Not many pitches.

yorktown’s pitcher was Nardelli not Nardozzi

brewster beat harrison 11-8
Maguns win 9-7 on a walk off homer!
kaaaabooooooom way to go Magnus
Josh will you have game recaps tonight
Absolutely.
Pearl RIver beats Pelham.. As Zack Baker for pelham had nothing today.. as he was hammered all around the ballpark and gave up i belive six in the first… and he couldnt slow them down after that..
When your best player is Mike Devito…you aren’t gonna be going far.
All I can say is KKKKKAAABBBBBBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!! What a game! Falcons down 6-1 and come all the way back to win it in extra innings. Sully hits a 2 run blast to give the dirty birds their first play off win in years! There are some happy fans in Falcon land. Props are in order for the the Falcon catcher(Ty). What a great defense game he played.
Falcons go have some fun tonite and do a little KAAABOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beacon 12- Rye 9…. Beacon did not pitch Cervone, however they hit 5 Home Runs.. There 1-4 hitters are very good.
“New Rochelle has been knocked out in the first round in each of the past ten years”?
Wha?
You must be a Freshman in high school, or younger, to make that type of statement. New Ro hasn’t been good in a few years, but they were one of the section’s most consistent programs prior to ‘07, and have dominated League 1-A along with Mamaroneck throughout the entire decade.
John Jay/Mamaroneck could be interesting; the Tigers only put up six runs on New Ro, and are facing a formidable team in JJ with a Katonah-sized chip on its shoulder.
All the sothern westchester AA teams are weak except mamaroneck. White plains new rochelle Scarsdale and the Yonkers schools are all in the same boat. As forthose, teams they have never in their history won a section 1 baseball title. I think they nr lost to north rockland 7 years ago of so in the finals. Besides that, the south westchester teams are all 1 and done in the playoffs almost every year. My vernon did have some real good teams a long time ago, but my vernon is struggling big time now.
Martino from North Rockland threw a excellent game. Nothing fancy but he threw strikes. I don’t recall to many walks if any and the defense made all the plays.
South on the other hand to many walks and that’s what killed them. NR was very disciplined at the plate and laid off Kip’s curve which a lot of teams chased this year.
North Rockland is a sound fundamental team. Don’t look past them RCK
Uhh “dead wrong,” (quite a creative name there); hate to break it to you, but New Rochelle won League 1-A in 2000, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Not sure what school you played for/watched your classmates play for, but I’d say that’s having a pretty solid decade; saying “the south westchester teams are all one and done in the playoffs almost every year” is quite a brash statement. While I’ll concede that some of the teams you mentioned have struggled as of late, I think you might to do your homework before stating something like that.
Personal attacks aside, the forthcoming AA matchups all seem pretty intriguing; while JJ will give Mamaroneck a run for its money, I’ll take the 7 vs. 2 game (Carmel/Arlington) as my upset special… for no particular reason.
sorry pawling
devito put them in position to win that game, he was better than any of the kids who pitched for Pleasantville. they were up 6-1 when he left and his 1 was an unearned run. Not to mention he made a great catch in center and had a clutch hit…what more do you want from a high school baseball player?
