New Hyde Park Baseball Loses to Hewlett, 2-0

Host lost to Hewlett on Wednesday morning by a score of 2-0 in an A-I conference game.

This game was a battle of the pitchers with Hewlett's Spencer Prusack pitching a no-hitter and New Hyde Park's Anthony Simone maintaining a no-hitter until the seventh inning.

Heroes: This was Prusack's first no-hitter, according to Head Coach Andy DeBernardo. The pitching made this game and Prusack's role was vital to his team's win.

For New Hyde Park, apart from Simone's efforts on the mound, Kevin Towey made some great moves. He tried rounding the bases in the fourth inning but after landing on first, he tried to steal second and then third but was called out at third.

Turning point: Hewlett's first run came in the third inning by Mike Piri and the game was theirs from then on. The second run was scored by Alex Bernstein in the seventh inning.

Quotable: Though Hewlett's Head Coach DeBernardo didn't know what exactly did it, he said that his team came out with "a little bounce in their step" and called this "the best game they've played in two years."

DeBernardo added that Simone did a "whale of a job" pitching for New Hyde Park and that the team is much better than their record.

New Hyde Park Head Coach Doug Robins noted that his team hit some of their balls hard but ultimately the "very well pitched" game made the difference.

Who's Next? New Hyde Park will play Garden City away on Monday at 12 p.m.

Hewlett's next conference game is against Division on Monday at 10:30 a.m.
