Midwood
It’s a big win!
Standing O shout outs to the Midwood High School Varsity Baseball Team for becoming the Public School Athletic League AAA Title 2016 champs — for the first time ever!
The team, led by coach Saverio Nardone, faced off against Tottenville High School on Monday Night at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
By all intents and purposes it shouldn’t have won. Tottenville was the favorite going in. But that didn’t stop Midwood freshman pitcher Gregory Dorfman, who pitched five scoreless innings — can you believe it? — and consistently struck out whoever Tottenville put on the plate.
Standing O nephew Adam LeChillgrien, a teacher at Midwood, was at the stadium and shared his play-by-play through the marvels of cellphone technology. In the end all he uttered was, “They won, 3–0 Midwood Hornets.”
Along with the hard-earned AAA title, the team can now proudly display its very own Standing O!
