Nick Strano scored his third goal of the game just 21 seconds into overtime to get the win for Manhattan. The Jaspers improved to 3-10 overall and 1-3 in the MAAC. Strano and Parker Giarratana led the team with three and four goals respectively. … Continue reading JASPERS Sports Recap
Last season for Manhattan College, it was the third year in a row it failed to win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title. The back-to-back championship teams of ’11 and ’12 are further and further away, especially now that only one player from the latter year remains. What made ’14 sting more is the fact that it didn’t even qualify for the tournament. “When you … Continue reading ‘We Have Much More of a Chip on our Shoulder This Year Than We’ve Ever had Before,’ Duffy Says of Upcoming Season
Three months ago, it was announced that the Manhattan Jaspers baseball program would no longer be calling Van Cortlandt Park home. Van Cortlandt Park was in constant need of fieldwork done by the Jaspers. It often had uneven dirt in the infield and on the pitcher’s mound, pocketed grass in the outfield and an aging scoreboard. The field also had just one set of bleachers. … Continue reading New Jasper Home Plays Host to 2015 MAAC Championship

Throwing on my Jeter jersey and new hat, we jumped in my dad’s old Toyota Corolla and hopped on the Major Deegan to 161st Street. It was the first time I saw this beautiful temple that held so many magical moments … Continue reading O Captain, My Captain: A Tribute to Derek Jeter
It’s been a long and disappointing season for the Jaspers for a second straight year. Last year, they finished 24-28 (11-13 MAAC), which ranked them sixth in the MAAC. This was after winning back-to-back MAAC championships in 2011 (20-2 MAAC, 34-19) and 2012 (18-6 MAAC, 33-27). Head Coach Jim Duffy said the team is still learning and is already looking toward the future. “It certainly … Continue reading Baseball’s Strong Finish Not Enough

There are a number of arguments that could happen such as who’s better than the other in terms of personality, academics or talent. But that’s not Joe and Scott McClennan.

Manhattan College baseball is 30 games into its season, and it has been nothing short of a big disappointment. “Each game we play it’s something different,” junior third baseman Joe McClennan said. “Sometimes it’s the pitching. Sometimes it’s the offense, most of the time it’s the offense. We haven’t picked up our pitchers at all this year. It’s pretty frustrating.” After winning back-to-back MAAC championships … Continue reading Mid-Season Struggles for MC Baseball a Cause for Concern?
Nerves remedied with a bit of coach’s confidence and good sense can only help Manhattan College baseball freshman pitchers William Fabra, Joe Jacques and Joey Rocchietti so much. This is especially true on a team in which even as freshman, the pitcher’s mound is up for the taking. All pitchers know slacking isn’t an option because anyone can be called to pitch at any point … Continue reading Three Freshman Arms Leading MC Baseball toward a Bright Future
