Sports Digest: McDermott and Bucci Debut

Welcome to Patch's snapshot of sports in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

From Dick Miller, a weekly College Round Up:

In his debut as a catcher for the Muhlenberg Mules' baseball team, freshman Conor McDermott of the Hackley School walked once, struck out once, and made five put outs in his nine's 6-4 loss to Geneva College at Ft. Pierce, Florida on Mar. 5th. On Mar. 8th, facing Marywood College, he singled, walked once, made 9 put outs, and had one assist in the 5-2 loss. The Mules closed out their Florida sojourn with a 7-6 win on Mar. 9th over Penn State Behrens, 7-6. Trailing 6-2 going into the last half of the ninth frame, they rallied with five runs to take the contest.

John Bogusz of Sleepy Hollow and Wooster University, in a seesaw lacrosse game at home on Mar. 6th with Washington and Jefferson College, won by the guests in three overtimes, 9-8, had two ground balls and one caused turnover in the game.

Forward Santo Carissimo of Sleepy Hollow and the University of Vermont, in the quarter final round against the University of New Hampshire at Albany on Mar. 9th (a team that includes Jordon Bronner, also from Sleepy Hollow) topped the Wildcats, 61-42. Carissimo had ten points, including three lay ups, one trey, and one for one from the foul line. He also had two rebounds, one assist, 3 steals, and one turnover, with his thirty-one minutes of floor action leading all players. Bronner had two lay ups for four points, one assist, and one turnover in the game.

Jamie Bucci of Sleepy Hollow and a freshman outfielder for the Cortland State Red Dragons, made her college softball debut on the morning of Mar. 8th with Christopher Newport University in Columbus Ga.. She pinched hit in the 4-2 loss, while in a second game, a 10-3 loss DePauw University, she likewise pinched hit. Playing Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on the morning of Mar. 9th, in the 8-7 eight inning setback, Bucci also pinched hit. On Mar. 10th, in the first of two games, they won over DePauw, 7-4, and then in game number two with Washington U. of Missouri, they dropped a 6-1 contest, as she also pinched hit in this one. The Bears' hurler allowed only one hit for the Red Dragons.
