GLENS FALLS—Late-inning rallies have become something of a specialty for these Glens Falls Golden Eagles.
Twice Monday evening, the Eagles pulled off last at-bat victories to sweep a New York Collegiate Baseball League doubleheader against the Watertown Wizards at East Field.
In the nightcap, Steve Zavala scored from third on a bases-loaded wild pitch with two out in the eighth to give Glens Falls a 6-5 win, capping a rally from a 5-0 deficit.
Earlier, Gary DerHagopian’s two-run double in the seventh lifted the Eagles to a 4-3 victory in the first game. It was Glens Falls’ third straight win in the last at-bat and gave the Eagles (16-4) a six-game winning streak.

For the third time this season, the Glens Falls Golden Eagles needed one extra inning to defeated the Albany Dutchmen, winning Sunday's afternoon game 5-4 on a pinch-hit, walk-off single through the sixth-hole from freshman infielder Kevin Berry (New Orleans) that scored freshman shortstop Eric Phillips (Georgia Southern)
"You just have to fight it off and control what you can control. I was really looking for a ball to drive," Berry said. "He threw me a fastball, I swung at the top of it and it made it through."
Phillips reached base in all five of his at-bats and finished the game with two runs scored and three
singles.
"Just trying to make contact and get a pitch up I can handle," Phillips said. "I worked the sixth hole tonight just trying to get on a base."
Pinch-hitting in the ninth for sophomore second baseman Nick Judkins (Iowa Central C.C.), who was playing in his first game as a Golden Eagle, Berry slapped a single past the diving Dutchmen shortstop allowing Phillips to score the game-winning run.
"Our pinch-hitter had a great at-bat," Glens Falls Golden Eagles head coach John Mayotte said. "He got to a 3-2 count, fouled off some pitches, and hung in till he got one he liked."

SARATOGA SPRINGS— Willie Beard walked over to Ricky Ott and shook his hand.
"Congrats," Beard said.
"For what?" Ott asked. "For nearly blowing the game?"
Ott worked his way out of a bases loaded, one-out jam to save Beard and the rest of the Glens Falls Golden Eagles in their 4-2 win over the Saratoga Phillies (6-10) in a New York Collegiate Baseball League game Tuesday night at East Side Recreation Field.
"I just knew he would close the door," Beard said. "He struggled a little bit but I knew he would get it together."
"I was working mechanically trying to fix a couple of things," Ott said. "But when the bases became loaded, I was like, ‘You can’t work on the new stuff, you have to go back to what was working before.’"

Though they still sit in first place at 10-4, with almost a three-game cushion in the NYCBL East Division, Glens Falls has lost three games at home to Saratoga.

Starting pitcher Eric Arnett (Indiana) went in the first round at No. 26, while outfielder Chad Stang (Midland College) went in the eighth round at No. 256. Three other 2008 Golden Eagles—Benjamin Carlson (Missouri State), Jonathan White (Vanderbilit), and Anthony Giansanti (Siena)—were taken in the 2009 MLB Draft.
Stang, the British Columbian native, played 53 games for the Midland College Chaparrals this season, batted .370 with 64 hits, a .623 slugging percentage, 12 doubles, six homeruns, 43 RBI, and led the team with five triples.

Pete Noordsy wiped the sweat from his brow as he prepared to throw his next pitch. The familiar snap echoed through East Field as the ball sailed into the glove of pitching coach Brett Merritt. "Was that good?" Noordsy asked.
"Yup," Merritt said.
Days like these, even if it’s practice, with the New York Collegiate Baseball League’s Glens Falls Golden Eagles are a treat for the 2007 Glens Falls High School graduate.
Noordsy is in the final phase of his rehab from a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow suffered last July.

Students of all ages packed into the stadium Tuesday morning for the Glens Falls Golden Eagles Reading Program Day, sponsored by the Southern Adirondack Tobacco Free Coalition.

GLENS FALLS - His teammates let Anthony Giansanti go home Friday night without swallowing half a can of shaving cream.
There was no repeat of Thursday night's celebratory shaving cream pie in the face.
"Thank God," Giansanti said.
But there very well could have been. For the second straight night the Glens Falls center fielder showed why the Oakland Athletics selected him in Thursday's Major League Baseball draft.

Eagles blank Phillies
SARATOGA SPRINGS - Soaking wet and spitting out globs of shaving cream courtesy of teammate Gary Derhagopian, Anthony Giansanti could finally relax and smile.
The Golden Eagles? center fielder sweated out most of the day waiting for a call from a Major League team, which he got around 2 p.m. from the Oakland Athletics. But the Siena College junior had little time to celebrate ? he had one last final exam to take in accounting.

"Some games you struggle with the bat," Golden Eagles Head Coach John Mayotte said. "Offensive is cyclical, even in the big leagues."

Phillips' slam powers Eagles
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
AMSTERDAM - Eric Phillips blasted a grand slam in the first inning Tuesday night and the Glens Falls Golden Eagles held on for a 6-2 New York Collegiate Baseball League victory over the Amsterdam Mohawks at Shuttleworth Park.
Siena?s Anthony Giansanti sparked the Golden Eagles (3-2) in the first with a ground-rule double. Then, with bases loaded, Sean Lamont was hit by a pitch, scoring Francisco "Pepito" Moreno.
Phillips, from Georgia Southern, followed with a home run to give Glens Falls a 5-0 lead.
From there, the pitching of Willie Beard and Ricky Ott held the Mohawks (3-1) in check, despite giving up 10 hits. Beard, from Rutgers, pitched six innings to pick up the win. Ott, a lefty from the University of New Orleans, finished the game.
The Golden Eagles managed only five hits in the game. Lamont tacked on a sac fly RBI for Glens Falls in the sixth inning.
"They?re a very, very good club," Golden Eagles head coach John Mayotte said. "The pitching was excellent for both teams. I thought one key hit was the difference; one swing gets you four runs."
Glens Falls travel to Little Falls for a 7 p.m. game tonight.
Glens Falls (3-2) 500 001 000 ? 6 5 2
Amsterdam (3-1) 010 000 100 ? 2 10 1
WP ? Beard (1-0). LP ? Pettepher (0-1). 2B ? Giansanti (GF); Kapteyn (A). HR ? Phillips (GF).

Phillies down Eagles
GLENS FALLS John Mayotte saw the final three innings of Sunday?s game from an unusual perspective.
The Glens Falls head coach had a partially obstructed view from a bench just outside the front gate. He was later joined by outfielder Justin Zumwalde.
The two were ejected during the Golden Eagles? 3-2 loss to the Saratoga Phillies at East Field. The Eagles were at odds with umpires for much of the game, most notably over a strike call in the sixth inning and a balk in the seventh.
But the Eagles also had themselves to blame. They ran their way out of two or three innings.

Golden Eagles can't run down Phillies
GLENS FALLS - Ask a Glens Falls Golden Eagles player his teammate?s name and you?d probably be met with a blank stare.
With the city voting on the team?s status on Monday, the first team practice on Wednesday and the first home game on Thursday, there just hasn?t been much time.
Throw in a new coaching staff, wooden bats and you can see how a few names, even your teammates, could slip through the cracks.
