ESM’s Noah Kirwin Throws No-Hitter
Noah Kirwin threw a no-hitter with 17 strikeouts to lead Eastport-South Manor (5-0) in Suffolk V win over Harborfields.
Kirwin struck out the first 13 batters he faced. His only baserunner came when he walked a batter with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Logan Walsh doubled with one out in the top of the seventh and scored the go-ahead run when pinch hitter Jordan Goldhammer followed with an RBI single.
Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays Baseball Play to Support AD Mike DeRosa
Mike DeRosa has ties to the Bridgehampton and Hampton Bays communities, so it is heartwarming to see the baseball programs rally to support one of their own.
DeRosa, the athletic director and a physical education teacher at Bridgehampton, and a Hampton Bays alumnus and resident, was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma and underwent emergency surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his brain.
Fans and community members pledged a donation for each strikeout and base hit the Killer Bees recorded during the series. At the end of the series, donors tallied up the pledges and made the corresponding donation via Venmo or check.
There is also a community-driven GoFundMe that has generated more than $155,000 for the DeRosa family so far.
Section XI sends its thoughts and prayers to the DeRosa family during this difficult time.
