SEMIFINAL WIN
It was the first play of each half inning in the Class C semifinal game against East Rockaway June 8, that gave the Sentinels the boosts they would need to advance to the final day of the season with a 6-1 win over the Rocks. In the first at-bat of the game, the East Rockaway leadoff hitter connected on a fly ball that dipped into center field, but did not touch the ground as senior Jevyn Granger dove in to make a one-handed grab for the first out of the game. Russ Gallo continued to show his dominance on the mound in the Class C semifinal game against East Rockaway June 8, scattering three hits over seven innings in a 6-1 win against the Rocks.

“I just wanted to keep their first guy off base,” Granger said. “We always want to play aggressive and I wanted to make sure we started the game with an out.” “I’m glad he dove there,” said Dorsett. “The lead runner gets on base and it could have been a different situation for us.” Then, in the bottom of the first, Evan Graney took the first pitch he saw and blasted it over the left field fence for a 1-0 lead. “I was just trying to make solid contact on the ball,” Graney said. “I thought at first it was a pop up, but it kept going.” Jack Grinnell continued his postseason RBI streak in the second, getting Bryce Gautreau to the plate. Following a Graney walk, Gallo came to the plate and helped his own cause with a bases-clearing double for a 5-0 lead. On the Mound, Gallo went the distance allowing the sole run and three hits.

“It was funny because he always says he is ready to go but today he admitted he was nervous,” Dorsett said. “He was able to focus in the right way and had a great game. “It was everything I wanted it to be,” said Gallo about making the championship round. “At the end of the game I just kept saying to myself that I had my defense behind me so let them make the plays.” The Sentinels added an insurance run in the sixth when Terrance Benedict drove in Austin Barnao.
