Dormer Plus, VJD close out season

The Island Now

Boys Minor League 

The last week of regular season play ended with some exciting match ups as teams scrambled to make up all the rained outs games from the season.  Dormer Plus in particular, took on three games in five days, which proved to be a daunting challenge. 

Dormer’s final game was Sunday against Village Justice Devane.  VJD came on strong, opening with a lead six runs in the first inning, largely in part by a hard hit double by Justine Obidienzo, which drove home Dan Loughlin and Julian Belardo. Then up to the plate came the long-ball hitter Nick Parente, who hit a blast way over the outfielders.  VJD was not finished yet, adding a double by Santino Migliore and a single by Chris Simms.  

Dormer Plus’ turn at bat proved they were not ready to give up in the least. They answered with a slug fest of their own.  

A hard-hit single by Jason Davidson drove in James Dermezis to score. Another single by Emmanul Ajewole followed by walks from disciplined batters Matt Gaberial and Frankie Cienski, brought in three runs by the end of the inning.  Village Justice Devane was able to get some more RBIs with some great at bats, including a single by Michael Guglielmo.  

In addition to the spectacular hitting, VJD had strong defensive plays from catcher Neal Amish and pitching closer Dillon Henning.  Dormers Plus had some notable performances of their own, particularly by Michael Hayes’ defensive talents, making difficult plays in the field and great pitching by Christen Darden, Chris Goutsas and Frank Koubek, with brother Jack Koubek taking charge behind the plate.  

Playoffs begin this week with a matchups between Mike’s Convienance and Nuzzi Contruction, and between Perci Construction and Dormers Plus.

Please note and mark your calendar for the upcoming New Hyde Park Little League’s 7th Annual All Star Game on Saturday, June 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be taking place at Michael J. Nuzzi Field located on Stewart Avenue at the Village Line.
