June 10th
Despite a 10-1 loss to the LI Owls up at the St. Dominic's Complex, the Indians played very well and got strong pitching from Emil Pape. The boys had runners on base every inning, but just couldn't push more than one run across the plate.
Mike Levko went 2-3 and Emil Pape was 2-3 with a double and a run scored. Elijah Rustin knocked in the games only run with a fielder's choice.
In game 2, the Indians looked more like themselves as they became more aggressive in the field and at the plate. The boys scored 3 runs in the 2nd on singles by Elijah Rustin, John DiSanto, Teddy Derham and Mike Lapinski. Once again, the Indians had runners on base in every inning but the Owl pitching proved too much to plate any more runs.
Zach Egan provided solid defense at 2nd base and Elijah Rustin played well in left field.
The Coach Carroll Player of the Game was Emil Pape, who pitched well in the first game and contributed 3 hits, including two doubles and a run scored.
Stay tuned for announcements regarding our next practice.
Next game:
Oceanside vs South Shore Indians on Friday 6/15; 6pm @ Tully Park. Please be at the game by 5:00pm.

Opening Day - Summer 2007
June 3rd:
Despite an opening triple by Elijah Rustin and a run scoring single by Eric Stone, things did not bode well for the Indians as they opened up the summer campaign against the LI Sound. The boys never seemed to get in sync, on the field, at bat or on the mound as they took the loss 14-2. We anticipate things will improve once we get back on the practice field.
Coach Carroll Player of the Game was Elijah Rustin, who in addition to the triple to lead off the game, played well in the outfield.

Summer Season Opening Day
Despite the threat of rain, opening night started on time at Tully Field. Unfortunately, our always reliable pitching had a tough go, as we absorbed the loss to the LI Sound, 14-2.
Elijah Rustin opened the game with a scorching line drive into the left centerfield gap for a triple and scored on a single by Eric Stone. The 2nd run scored on heads up and aggressive base running by Emil Pape.
Defensively, Eric Stone made three excellent catches in centerfield, showing off his extraordinary range and threw out a runner at the plate. Shortstop Chris Morgan also cut down a runner at the plate, with catcher James DiMartino blocking the plate and applying the tag.
Game two was rained out.
The Coach Carroll Player of the Game goes to Eric Stone for his RBI single and excellent defensive play in both Centerfield and at Shortstop.
Next Game:
