Long Island Yankees Win the Boys of Summer League Playoffs

On Aug. 13, the LI Yankees (whose home field is Portledge School in Locust Valley), played the Long Island Ducks Green in the Semifinals of the Boys of Summer (BOS) 13U Playoffs. This game would prove to be a real pitchers’ duel behind the strong pitching of Yankee pitcher Zachary Kleinwaks who threw a complete game three hitter, and a skilled Ducks’ pitcher Frank Merlino, who gave up 5 hits in 7 innings.

There were two important plays in the game that would prove to change the game’s outcome. In the first inning, the second batter for the Ducks Paul McGee walked his way on base. Then his teammate Brendan Wright hit a ball over the head of Yankees left fielder Grant Elgarten. Elgarten ran quickly to retrieve the ball and threw it to the cutoff Nick Lucchese. With screams from both sides, McGee headed for home. Lucchese made a strong throw to the plate where dirt was flying as Yankee catcher Straton Podaras received the ball and applied the tag to McGee, for the final out of the inning.
