BASEBALL
LI Tides Crowned Champs

The Long Island Tides fall baseball team, made up of players from across the Town of Huntington, finished first with a final record of 9-2 in the 16 year-old National Junior Baseball League American Division late last year. The team, made up predominantly of 15-year-olds, proved to be formidable opponents combining daunting offensive power and pitching. The boys hammered out 97 runs offensively while only allowing their opponents to score 30 runs against them.

Coaches Roy Santo Pietro, Steve Johnson and Mike Parziale described their boys as fearsome competitors who never give up and can rally from anywhere in their lineup at any time.
