Adelphi uses 10-goal third quarter to reach NCAA D-II semis

5 days ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

It was not a lamentation. It was an unprompted acknowledgement of the obvious. “They have so many weapons,” Molloy coach Bill Dunn said after top-seeded Adelphi routed the visiting fifth-seeded Lions, 21-7, in an NCAA Division II quarterfinal on Sunday afternoon at Motamed Field in Garden City. Adelphi (17-1) advanced to next Sunday’s semifinal round where they will host second-seeded Saint Anselm, which outlasted third-seeded Seton Hill, 9-8.
Baty homers twice, but Mets miss opportunities

The calendar says it is early May. What transpired at Citi Field Saturday night had a slight October feel. Forty-one thousand four hundred twenty-three packed the ballpark, and a national television audience watched the best teams in the National League East and Central going head-to-head. And, of course, the requisite disappointment that comes following a devastating loss. Such as the one the Mets experienced in their 6-5 defeat to the Cubs. Because the game was theirs for the taking.
Cubs' Counsell still impressed by Mets' Stearns

6 days ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

Preternatural calm. That, in essence, is what stood out about Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns to Cubs manager Craig Counsell when they worked together in Milwaukee. “David’s not going to be altered by things that you think others are,” Counsell said. “It’s just not going to happen. In part, he explained, because of the people Stearns surrounds himself with. Both on the field and in the front office.
Mets have heard about Cubs prospect Cade Horton

6 days ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

Yes, Carlos Mendoza acknowledged, the likelihood that Cade Horton was going to make his Major League debut against the Mets was pretty good. Technology has removed some of the mystery surrounding the No. 46 prospect on MLB Pipeline’s list, Mendoza noted. But in the next breath, he stressed the importance of decidedly old-school elements:Watching. Talking. Exchanging notes.
Adelphi begins NCAA Tournament with drubbing of Georgian Court

1 week ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

Gordon Purdie was pleased. But not satisfied. “It does not feel that way,” the Adelphi coach said when asked if his team had put forth its best performance of the season. The No. 1 see Panthers routed eighth-seeded Georgian Court, 23-9, in the NCAA men’s Division II north regional tournament first round at Motamed Field Wednesday afternoon. “There were some mistakes that we made on the defensive side of the ball that needed to improve,” Purdie said. Tough grader.
Stony Brook women's lax wins CAA conference tournament

1 week ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

The numbers speak for themselves. Eleven straight conference championships. Twelve straight NCAA tournament appearances. And yet, after No. 19 Stony Brook outlasted No. 23 Drexel, 12-10, in the CAA women’s lacrosse championship game Saturday afternoon at LaValle Stadium, the question asked of Seawolves head coach Joe Spallina was simple and straightforward:Does he view Stony Brook as a dynasty? “You have to,” Spallina said. “You have to.”It would be tough–bordering on impossible–to debate the point.
Yankees rout Blue Jays in first game of doubleheader

2 weeks ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

The theme espoused by anyone and everyone associated with the Yankees can be distilled to two simple words:Lineup depth. It came to the fore in their 11-2 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of Sunday afternoon’s doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. The 5-through-9 batters in the lineup — Jazz Chisholm Jr., Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, Jasson Dominguez and Oswaldo Cabrera — went a combined 8-for-18 with nine RBIs and six runs scored. Toronto took a 1-0 in the top of the first.
Yankees remove Devin Williams from closer role

2 weeks ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

The obvious became reality. Devin Williams has been removed as the Yankees closer, Aaron Boone announced Sunday morning. Luke Weaver will get the majority of the save opportunities, but Boone noted that he has the option to use other relievers in that role depending on game situations. Williams, acquired from Milwaukee in December for Nestor Cortes, is 0-2 with a blown save, an 11.25 ERA, and 2.38 WHIP.
Boone still has Williams' back after latest meltdown

2 weeks ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

The questions, 11 in all, directed toward Aaron Boone were about Devin Williams. What’s wrong with the two-time All-Star, Boone was essentially asked. And can he return to being the dominant closer that those affiliated with the Yankees believed had been acquired in December? Instead of laying out in painstaking detail an actualized plan, the manager repeatedly expressed his belief in the 30-year-old righthander.
Mets' Francisco Alvarez, Jeff McNeil could be back soon

3 weeks ago | newsday.com | Denis Gorman

There are, Carlos Mendoza acknowledged, still a few boxes to be checked. But it appears likely that Francisco Alvarez will make his 2025 season debut sooner rather than later. “From the medical staff, he’s going to be cleared,” Mendoza said, when asked about Alvarez prior to the Mets’ 3-0 win over the Cardinals Saturday at Citi Field. According to Mendoza, Alvarez was scheduled to catch nine innings for Double-A Binghamton Saturday and DH Sunday.
