Just when Joe Wozny was on the verge of doing something special, Southold said no-no to the no-no.
Through six innings Saturday, Southold’s batters couldn’t touch Wozny. The Stony Brook pitcher took a no-hitter into the bottom of the seventh inning at Jean W. Cochran Park in Peconic. Then, the first batter he faced that inning, Brendan Duffy, clobbered a stand-up double over the leftfielder.
Bye, bye no-hitter. READ
Late in the second quarter, Jordan Fonseca dropped in a three-point shot from the right wing, promptly did an about-face and executed a proper bow to a section of cheering Greenport fans.
After the game was over, Fonseca and his teammates on the Greenport High School boys basketball team could have taken a collective bow, but didn’t. The cheers rained down, regardless, and for good reason: The Porters are county champions. READ

Southold began the second half of its Suffolk County League VIII boys basketball season the way it started it — with a sound defeat at the hands of The Stony Brook School.
While coach Cory Dolson took six of his top-line Mattituck/Greenport/Southold high school wrestlers to the Eastern States Classic at Sullivan County Community College, the rest of the Tuckers were left to face Stony Brook on Friday under the charge of their assistant coach, Ronnie Rosso.

Southold/Greenport may not get many style points for its play on the basketball court, but the Clippers may have found a diamond in the rough, namely, their recently unveiled diamond press.
