The varsity baseball team came up big time once again by defeating Wantagh by a score of 8-5 and sweeping the best of three playoff series. With the win, the Bulldogs advance to the semi-finals, for a best of three series with an opponent yet to be determined. The Island Trees overall record now stands at 20-4. Matt Christoffersen picked up the win by going five and two-thirds solid innings and scattering six hits to go along with five strikeouts. Bryan Verbitsky came on to nail down the save by throwing gas in one and one-third innings of relief. With the Bulldogs trailing 1-0 in the top of the second, Bobby Colleluori and Frank Baglivo both came through with two-out singles to drive in two runs apiece to make the score 4-1. Bryan Verbitsky struck again in the third when he connected on a 400 foot bomb to left center field at Wantagh. The ball may still be traveling somewhere in the stratosphere.
