New Hyde Park Little League (NHPLL) Girls Major Division

On April 27 New Hyde Park Giant Ind. made an unbelievable 14-0 run steak to defeat the Malverne 2 team by a score of 18-14 at Averill South field. Although no individual highlights were provided for the game it’s safe to say the entire team was a highlight when you have a 14 run streak to take a win.

The following day the team fed off the previous game high against West Hempstead at West Hemstead High School field. A rare triple-play was started with a line drive back at pitcher Kelly Mikowski who snapped a 1-5-3 (Kelly Andreuzzi & Tiffany Moreno) and caught the West Hempstead girls too far off to get back. While catcher Angelina Fernandez put a halt to West Hempstead’s aggressive base running by throwing out back-to-back attempts to steal second base in the bottom of the fifth inning with ascore of 4-3 in favor of New Hyde Park. Julia Panarella finalized the day with a base hit & two RBIs to push New Hyde Park to the final 9-3 victory.

New Hyde Park’s William A. Gross Construction team is having a good season thus far. Their manager reported that they are 3-2 on the season and have been developing well.

Ashley Rullo and Sophia Giamarino worked behind the plate while Sophia had one hit and three runs and Jennifer Scanlon toughed it out playing SS and left field for two walks and two runs scored.
