Baseball: Wilsey, Boenig lead dramatic rally as Spackenkill edges Chester in section final
SAUGERTIES - The entire Spackenkill baseball team ran the emotional gamut on Saturday, having their season and championship reign come within an out.

Baseball: Bonagura, Hoffman help Chapel Field win fourth straight Section 9 Class D title
SAUGERTIES - As the Chapel Field baseball players walked off the field, gold medals adorning their necks and a plaque in tow, they were met with several requests from an adoring crowd.

Baseball: John Jay edges Arlington, heads for intradistrict Section 1 final versus Ketcham
FREEDOM PLAINS - It still was eating at Austin Seipp afterwards, the John Jay-East Fishkill sophomore seemingly reluctant to forgive himself the defensive blunder. While tracking a soft liner to right, the outfielder stumbled and fell, costing him a split second and allowing the ball to drop just beyond the reach of his belated dive. The result was a run-scoring double that gave Arlington a lead in the third inning. ...
Baseball: Oudom, Collins lead Spackenkill back to Section 9 final
Dan Collins occasionally looks down at that two-inch surgical scar above his right elbow, and what it represents can conjure a wave of mixed emotions. It brings about some disappointment, knowing that injury cost him a promising scholastic season and impacted his recruitment process.
