The 2010 baseball season for the Suffolk West Longhorns commences with a goal that has driven them to a DIII JUCO World Series in Tyler, Texas for 3 years running. A goal that will keep them hungry  for an unprecedented four championships in a row, but with an eye on the bigger prize of bringing home a National Championship.

As we roll into the new year and the new face of the Suffolk West Longhorns begins to take shape, the expectations will be great but the work the guys are ready to put in will be even greater. Gone are the former players who put their stamp on Coach Bobby Molinaro’s march into the National Junior College for 3 straight years, but in are the freshmen and sophomores that will now be responsible in getting the Longhorns to where they rightfully belong, in Tyler Texas.

The Longhorns will be led by an offensive attack of returning sophomores that include All Region Chris Rutigliano and Anthony Orsano. Returning sophomores Nick Ingoglia, Zach Taylor, All American Joe Guido, and the rest of the returning class form last year’s Championship squad in which they all played vital roles in helping get to the show. Also included in this years recruiting class are Scott Randell, (Oneonta College) Bryan Chung (Sachem High School), Kyle Olsen (North Babylon High School ), Danny Muller (North Babylon High School) and a slew of other talented ballplayers ready to take charge and make names for themselves. The pitching staff loses last years ace John Mincone, who was eventually drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 11th round of the Major League Baseball Draft, and first ever to get drafted out of Suffolk CC’s Grant Campus. Returning are aces Timmy Walsh, Ryan Bresnahan, relievers David Hugo, David Stern, and A.J. Ball along with captain Travis Kakareko. The rotation will be rounded out with transfers and freshmen led by Andrew English from Dowling College, former CW Post Pioneer Chris Sanabria, and Louie Galioto (North Babylon High School), who along with rest of the staff will be working very hard to help capture another trip to the National Championship.

Once again, there will be many teams circling the dates on the calendar looking to knock the Longhorns off of the perch in which they stand but again they will ready for every challenge with the hard work they will put in before the season kicks off on March 6th.  Head coach Bobby Molinaro returns to the program for his eighth season at the helm of the Suffolk West Longhorns. Coach Molinaro has had his share of adversity throughout his tenure as head coach of the Suffolk CC baseball program, but he has endured through it all to continue his winning ways and to keep his harshest critics wondering how he manages to keep winning time and time again. He will be joined by Coach Atan and Coach Corrado, two new coaching additions that will be detrimental in the recruiting class of the future of the baseball program as well as sharing their strong baseball knowledge and backrounds. Pitching coach Bob DeMichael returns for his second season after doing an outstanding job with the staff last season. Rich Gonzalez returns for his sixth season with the Longhorns as the hitting coach.  It will be a tough battle as usual in the quest to get to the National Championship in Tyler, Texas with the likes of fantastic baseball programs like Nassau CC, and Suffolk CC (Ammerman Campus) looking to take the trip themselves. But in the end there can only be one, and the Longhorns are hungry to get back to where they belong, Tyler Texas.
