As balmy August days are upon us, Syosset travel softball teams are concluding their summer seasons and moving into playoffs. This year, SYAC Travel Softball is fielding three travel teams in the Glen Cove Mayor's Trophy.

On August 6, the Syosset Thunder topped Manhasset by a 6-2 score and put up a perfect 7-0 record for the season to capture first place in the U10 division. The game featured lights-out pitching by Danielle Zurek and Alexa Beovich and a steady barrage of hits by Thunder sluggers.

Also competing in the Glen Cove Mayor's Trophy are the Syosset Storm, a U10 team, and the Syosset Tornado, a U12 squad.

All three softball teams are part of the SYAC Travel Program, which also fields teams in the fall and spring seasons. More than 600 girls from grades K through 8 participate in SYAC's main softball program each spring. Sign-up dates are in January and February. For more information: www.syacgs.org.
