The Vikings started conference play this week by traveling down to Seaford on Tuesday to play the fellow Vikings. Seaford was also 4-1 coming out of their cross-over games, so this proved to be a pivotal early season match up for first place. North Shore put Billy Melillo on the mound to attempt to hold those other Vikings at bay. Billy was up to the task. He tossed a three-hitter striking out nine and walking only two. He also contributed at the plate by going 2-3 with two triples and two RBIs. Thomas Lucchese and Mike Ragusa provided stellar defense on the left side of the infield to preserve the shut out. John Mulder continued his torrid hitting by going 2-4 with an RBI as North Shore went on to the 6-0 victory. FULL STORY
