While the baseball season came to an end in the Sectional Quarter Finals versus perennial power Fort Ann, the game was emblematic of the team’s season. Going into the final inning with result no longer in doubt, the players did not give up, kept fighting as they have done all year and managed to score a run before the final out of the season. As of this writing it is still the only run that Fort Ann has allowed in Sectional play.
Several players were honored with end of season awards by the Central Hudson Valley League. Kyle Jakovic ’19 was named a Second Team All-star, brother Michael Jakovic ’17 was named First Team All-star, and the team’s lone senior, Dan Sausto ’16 was named the league’s Co-MVP. The team was honored for its high class in its wins and losses, with the league Sportsmanship award.
Finishing 7-7 in the first season back after such a long hiatus in the program is impressive in its own right. The buzz and pride in the school is only matched by the congratulations and compliments the team has received from the various communities from which our students come, but also from observers of CVHL and Section II baseball. We look forward to another exciting and competitive season next year.
