Tommy Sheehan picked up his 1st complete game victory of his career in Manasquan's 5-1 victory over Holmdel. Sheehan faced only 23 batters (2 over the minimum 21), walked 1 and struck out 4. Sheehan raised his record to 2-1 for 2015.

In a well pitched game by Sheehan and Holmdel's #1 pitcher Ashwin Jain, who limited the Warriors to 5 hits on the day, the Warriors would get all the runs they would need in the 4th inning. With 1 out, Sheehan led off the inning with a double to left. Max Hawkins and Tyler Bradley followed with back to back walks loading the bases. John Driscoll, serving as a courtesy runner for Sheehan, would score from third on a wild pitch and move Hawkins to third and Bradley to second. Jain would then register a strikeout but the ball was dropped by the Holmdel catching forcing a throw to 1st base to record the out. The speedy Hawkins at third would take off for home on the throw and beat the return throw to the catcher to make the score 2-0. Ty Hawkins then singled to right scoring Bradley and making the score 3-0.

Up 3-1 in the top of the 6th, Tommy Sheehan led off the inning with a single to left center. Driscoll would enter the game again as his courtesy runner. Driscoll stole second and then was attempting to steal third when Max Hawkins hit a slow roller to third on a full count. Hawkins beat the throw to 1st and Driscoll, hustling again like he did in the Vianney win on Tuesday, took off for home on the throw to 1st and beat the throw home to score. With 1 out, Tyler Bradley singled to center, stole second, and then stole third and a misplayed throw from the catcher allowed Bradley to score and run the score to 5-1.

Tommy Sheehan would then retire the Hornets in the 6th and 7th, 3 up and 3 down in each inning, to preserve the win for the Warriors. Sheehan went 3 up and 3 down in 5 of the 7 innings and never faced more than 4 batters in the other 2 innings on the afternoon.

Manasquan Baseball All-Time Records

NEW as of May 21st, 2014 

Saito "shines" in win over the Roses

Caccavale breaks record in shut-out

Tues. May 20, 2014

Manasquan ended their 2014 behind a stellar performance by Senior Austin Saito in the shut-out over St. Rose. Saito would go 6 and 2/3 innings allowing only 1 hit while walking 2 and recording 7 strike-outs. Austin's last 3 starts of 2014 would all result in Manasquan wins. Saito threw 5 innings of 1-run ball in each of the victories over Wall and Point Boro (winning pitcher) in his last 2 starts. Saito's line for his last 3 starts include:

Starts - 3

Record - 2-0

Inn. - 16 2/3

Hits - 10

K's - 18

ERA - 1.08

"Iron Man" Caccavale Breaks Record....

With 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning, Saito would give way for his teammate Tucker Caccavale to record the last out of 2014. Caccavale would end the game with a 3-pitch strike-out to close out the game to his long-time catcher Tyler Bradley. This would be Caccavale's 16th appearance on the mound for the season. This breaks the record set by Mike Brower in 1983 and Mike Mahady in the state championship season of 1986.

(Left...Tucker and Tyler Bradley from their MES days...and then their last time of 2014)

Caccavale appeared in 16 of the Warrior 22 contests of 2014. Caccavale's line for 2014 would end up:

GP  - 16

Record - 1-1 2 Saves

Inn. - 27.33

Hits - 22

K's - 17

Opp. BA - .210** 

ERA - 2.30**

** - TEAM LEADER

Offensively, the Warriors would get all the runs they would eventually need in the top of the 1st inning. Tanner Cowley lined a 2-strike, 2-out single to right scoring Tommy Toole and Max Hawkins. This would give Cowley RBIs #17 and #18 on the season (2014 team leader). The Warriors would score 2 more in the top of the 6th. Manasquan got one run on a misplayed ball by St. Rose allowing Max Hawkins to score from second base and then Tommy Sheehan would knock in Ty Hawkins with a single to centerfield. The Warriors added one more in the top of the 7th courtesy of a Max Hawkins RBI single scoring Matt Paturzo.

On the day for the Warriors:

Saito - 6 2/3 inn. 1 hit 2 BB 7 K's

Caccavale - 1/3 inn. 0 hits 0 BB K

Max Hawkins - 2-2 2 BB 2 runs SB RBI

Ty Hawkins - 1-2 run

Cowley - 1-4 2 RBIs SB

Tom Sheehan - 1-3 RBI

Matt Edwards - 1-3 2B

Seniors lead Squan to victory

Mon. May 5, 2014

Jack Sheehan's 1-out single in the botom of the 7th scored Tommy Toole with the game winning run making the Big Blue walk-off winners over Wall. Toole tripled to right center to set up Sheehan's hit that avenged a 2-1 loss in 10 innings to Wall last year.

Toole also picked up the win in relief entering the game with 1-out and runners on second and third. Toole got to the 1st batter to pop up to second base, hit the next batter and finished the inning on a called strike three.

Senior Austin Saito went 4 strong innings for Manasquan scattering 5 hits while striking out 3. Fellow senior pitcher Tucker Caccavale went 2 and 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Down 1-0 in the bottom of the 4th inning, Max Hawkins, who had tripled to right center scored on an RBI ground-out by Ty Hawkins.

The Big Blue had two defensive gems today from their outfielders. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, CF Max Hawkins fired a perfect relay from the right center fence to Toole (2B) who then cut down a Wall runner trying to stretch a doublle into a triple. In the 6th inning, LF Tommy Sheehan, after an attempt on a diving catch towards the line, would recover to hit his brother Jack with a put-out at third of another runner trying to strectch a double into a triple.

This was the Warriors 2nd walk-off victory at home this year.
