Playing the best
By Ryan | July 26, 2010
“To be the best, you have to beat the best”
We’ve all heard the above quote in some form or another, and for Helmuth-Ingalls Post #232 baseball it’s something we live by as we strive to get better year in and year out. It may come as no great surprise that this week’s New York State Tournament will feature some familiar names.
Including Oneida County rival, Utica Post, who won District V on Sunday, there are three 2010 opponents in the field of eight. Saratoga won District IV and West Seneca won District VIII. On top of that, host and District IX champions, the Newburgh Nuclears were a team H-I faced and beat in 2009.
A couple of out-of-state Cooper’s Cave opponents are doing well also - the Colchester Cannons again qualified for the Vermont State Tournament after winning it in 2009 and Trumbull has qualified for the Connecticut State Tournament, something they’ve done in each year H-I has faced them.
Though Post #232 may have recorded a 1-5 record against these teams in 2010, sometimes the payoff is not immediate. H-I’s players should be proud that they’ve faced the toughest challenges and are prepared for the future. We’ll keep playing the best competition year in and year out, because we believe in our own abilities and are capable of competing at that level.

H-I season comes to an end
By Ryan | July 18, 2010
UTICA - Helmuth-Ingalls Post #232 knew going into Thursday’s game that even their best efforts might not be enough to extend the season, and in fact despite a 10-5 loss to Oneida County’s top team Utica Post #229, H-I was eliminated when New Hartford defeated Whitestown just a few miles away.
Jordan Doroshenko, pitching it what turned out to be his final Legion game, struggled in what was easily his toughest outing of the season. Doroshenko (4-2) was a standout on a young pitching staff in 2010, displaying leadership and maturity after spending the past year at Finger Lakes Community College. He allowed 9 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in 3 2/3 innings. Zach Lusby pitching 2 1/3 innings of one-run relief.
Patrick Foxton, Jack Sullivan, and Joe Durante led the Post #232 offense, each with two hits. H-I jumped out to a two-run lead off Utica starter Mike King in the first, but could not push runs across the plate again until UP had taken command of the game in the 4th.
H-I ends the season at 9-9 in County play and 11-13 overall. With only two regular players - Doroshenko and C/OF Ryan Murphy - coming to the end of their Legion careers, H-I should be primed for a promising 2011 season.

High honors for H-I’s Sullivan
By Ryan | July 15, 2010
Helmuth-Ingalls Post #232 catcher Jack Sullivan was honored by the New York State Sportswriters Association as 2nd team all-State selection for Hamilton Central High School.
Sullivan batted .455 with 26 RBI for the spring, and follows Hamilton and H-I teammates Jordan Doroshenko and Tyler White as all-State selections. Doroshenko and White were 1st team selections in their senior season of 2009, when together with Sullivan they led the Emerald Knights to a #2 state ranking in Class D, and lost to eventual state champion Arkport in the semfinals.
Congratulations Jack, on a well deserved honor.
