Portledge Varsity Baseball Players and Coach Recognized for Strong Season After winning the Division II cham- pionship in 2013, the Portledge Varsity Baseball team took a big step this spring as they made the jump to Division I in the ACIS/PSAA Baseball Alliance. The program continued to flourish though, as the Panthers finished in 2nd place overall with a final record of 8-4. Head Coach Frank Battaglia was awarded Coach of the Year by the other Division I coaches, and four Panthers were selected for special recognition. While first baseman Zach Kleinwaks, a junior from Glen Cove, joined senior center fielder Tim Barbaro of Garden City and junior pitching ace Matt Butler of Oyster Bay on the All League team, junior pitcher/out- fielder Brad Stewart received Honorable Mention status for his fine play. The Pan- thers should be in the hunt for the league title again next year, as eight starters and several key bench players will return for the 2015 campaign.
