Starting pitcher Joe Guercio flirted with a no-hitter, holding the Patriots hitless into the seventh inning before surrendering a single with one out. Matt Capobianco added a pair of doubles and an RBI.

Softball:  After establishing dominance over John Glenn on Monday, , Lindsay Taylor and the Kings Park softball team were at it again on Thursday. The Lady Kingsmen avenged a 15-run loss to Deer Park to start the season with a decisive 5-0 victory. The win gave them sole possession of first place in League V as they improved to 12-1. Taylor was brilliant again in the matchup of the league's top two teams, striking out 15, allowing just two hits and two walks.
