NORTH SHORE ATHLETIC HIGHLIGHTS FROM PAST WEEK
TEAM: North Shore Varsity Baseball,
Varsity Women’s Lacrosse
GAME HIGHLIGHTS (past week):
1. North Shore Varsity Baseball:
This week was a very successful week for the Varsity baseball team. We won our first league-play series against Bethpage High School, taking two out of three games. Monday, we came out strong with the help and preparation of the coaching staff and won 7-1. Tuesday, we had practice inside due to the bad weather and used the time to work on the pitchers' timing pick offs and our team hitting in the cages. Wednesday, we had an outdoor practice and took batting practice on field. This practice was short and light in preparation for our Thursday game. Thursday we came out strong once again and won 4-0 on the road. Unfortunately on Friday we lost 3-1 after battling back in the final two innings of play. It was an overall successful week for the Varsity baseball team. The general attitude and moral of the team is quite good and we collectively have no complaints about practice, gameplay, or the coaching staff. We all look forward to the remaining league games.

2. North Shore Varsity Women’s Lacrosse:
The North Shore Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team is off to a great start for the 2016 season. With an overall record of 3-1, the Vikings had two big one-goal victories over Sacred Heart Academy and the defending Class A County Champions, Syosset. The girls also beat a very solid Long Beach team, with a score of 12-9. The team is led by senior captains; Sarah Checca, Madalyn Conklin, Danielle Inzerillo, and Kelly Johansen. Last week, we attended the Stony Brook/UMBC game. This was a great opportunity for the girls to see a D1 collegiate program play. The girls got a tour of the facilities and saw their post- game speech. This upcoming week is a big week for the Vikings with four upcoming games. On April 16th at 10 am at the High School turf, North Shore will be hosting its first annual cystic fibrosis game. We will be honoring Madalyn and Frankie Conklin and will be donating all profits to the Make a Wish Foundation. Please come out to support the team!

No Bethpage (NY) batter was able to locate Livoti's pitches during the game. Livoti threw a perfect game, striking out seven batters while recording his momentous feat. Livoti only threw 59 pitches, 50 of them for strikes. One batter was able to get to three balls for an at bat. Livoti threw no more than 5 balls in any inning. Marc Aufiero made a diving catch for the last out of the game to secure Livoti’s perfect game.
