Baseball

We thank Yorktown stat Hailey Rosenberg for her help in compiling this piece:

No. 12 Yorktown played a good-old fashion classic sectional game but fell to No. 5 New Rochelle 4-3 in the opening round of the Section 1 Class AA Tournament Friday. 

The game was played at the lower-seed Yorktown because New Rochelle's field was unplayable because of the inclement weather.

Yorktown tied the game at 2-2 in the third inning on a two-run double by Brian Redahan (3 for 4), which drove in John Battista and Scott Russo, who each singled.

Timmy Keiling then put the Huskers up 3-2 in the fifth, with a triple that knocked in Ryan Fagan, who walked. New Rochelle though tied the game with a single run in its half of the fifth and won the game with another run in the seventh.

“I thought we played well," Yorktown coach Sean Kennedy said. "I thought we did a lot of what we did all year. I thought we pitched well and played decent defense. We came up with a couple of big hits. We had some opportunities but we just weren’t able to get a big hit late in the game.”

Overall, Kennedy said he felt good about what happened this season as his team finished with a winning record, 11-10, in Section 1's highest classification, AA.

"We were part of like nine or 10 one-run games," Kennedy said. "I can’t say that I have ever been a part of that. We felt pretty good being in a close game, feeling like our kids had been there, we had been a part of it, we were going to pull something out. But we walked a couple of guys, three of the walks scored today. That was the big difference.”
