The 2003 New Hyde Park Gladiators Varsity Baseball team is already embarking on another season. This year's group of seniors are already proving that they will provide quality leadership. Four-year starter Matt Tesoriero will be behind the plate again. In 2002, Matt received all-county honors along with his noteworthy .389 batting average. All league honorable mentions Frank Sonnenburg (3-3, 3.65 ERA) and Matt Farina will be counted on heavily for their pitching and hitting. Senior Chris Lewandowski returns after an excellent junior season (2-2, 3.79 ERA) in hope of locking up a spot in the starting rotation. Senior Mike Caputo will be in the outfield this season. He hit .326 in 2002 during his junior year. Finally, senior Matt Suckle will be playing infield and is in a battle for the leadoff position in the lineup. FULL STORY
