By Steven Zaitz

It took over 48 hours to play and endured a torrential downpour, but the Larkfield-Northport 9 and Under Little League baseball team finally got a chance to celebrate this past Monday — for a game that had started two days earlier.

The baby Tigers scored a 13-6 victory over the Babylon nine-year-olds at Ostego Park in Commack in a game that started Saturday night, Aug 3. After Northport took a 3-0 lead in the first inning, the heavens opened and the game resumed on Monday, Aug. 5.

Starting pitcher Jordan Ellis went three innings and gave up four runs on three hits and he struck out six Babylon batters. Kellyn Repetti, who started the game as the Tiger third baseman, pitched an inning and two-thirds, allowing two earned runs, and Jack Sheedy closed out the game, working the final inning and a third.

Northport pitchers issued 13 total walks, which  was the cause of much of the Babylon traffic on the basepaths and extended the lenght of the game to almost three hours. But they got big out when needed and allowed no more than two runs in any inning.

On offense, Northport jumped out to a 9-2 lead after two and a half innings, scoring at least a run in every inning but the fourth and exploding for five runs in the third. Sheedy and Repetti both had RBI triples in the  third inning off of Babylon starter Thaddeus Skarulis. The number two through six in the Larkfield-Northport batting order were an astounding  nine for nine, with eight runs scored, and seven runs batted in.

Ellis, Sheedy and first baseman Jackson Spoto were all 2 for 2 and Repetti was 3 for 3. Right fielder Dominic Elliot smacked a two-RBI single in the fifth inning, as the 9U Tigers just kept adding on. They led 11-4 after four and half innings, as the afternoon began to darken to dusk.

Wayne Kaifler, Reilly Cheffo and James Domanick also registered hits for Larkfield-Northport in the final game.

To make it here, the Tigers won an 8-7 nail-biter against West Islip in the semifinal game, which took eight innings to decide. Spoto, who led the pitching staff all season, threw 75 pitches in that game and was ineligible to pitch in the championship game, so Larkfield head coach John Sheedy turned to his three-headed monster of pitchers to  piece together the victory.

“Each of our pitchers did really well in this game and I am extremely proud of them and every member of this team,” said Sheedy, whose son Jack finished the game with a strikeout. “This championship is so well deserved for these kids. Every one of them put in a lot of hours of practice and they, as well as their families, were so dedicated during this season. To see everything to come to fruition is just a wonderful thing.”

Repetti, who for every game wears a shiny, multicolored necklace that his mom made for him, was ecstatic on his his team winning the championship jewels.

“It feels great to win,” Repetti said. “We are a good team, but I think the necklace brought us the good luck we needed.”

And with that, the entire team and their families were off to Coach Sheedy’s house for a  little pizza celebration.

Said the coach — “It was the best tasting pizza we’ve ever had.”

Theatre Three’s Children’s Theatre closes its summer season with Pinocchio, a musical for the entire family.

Based on Carolo Collodi’s late nineteenth century Italian novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio, the story has been seen on stage and screen, both in animated and live action versions. As with all Theatre Three children’s theatre, the company creates its own musical based on the original material. Pinocchio has a book by Jeffrey Sanzel, with new songs by Jeffrey Hoffman and Douglas J. Quattrock.

Anabelle (Emilia Guzzetta), underling apprentice fairy—third class, is assigned by Ondine, Queen of the Fairies (Ginger Dalton), to help an angry and withdrawn woodcarver, Geppetto (Steven Uihlein). 

After failing to change the recluse through song, the nervous fairy teams with the energetic and outgoing Cassandra, the Enchanted Cricket (Michelle LaBozzetta). Together, they enchant a stick of wood. Hearing the wood speak, Geppetto fashions it into a wooden companion, Pinocchio (Kiernan Urso). When they realize that the puppet is alive but lacks a sense of right and wrong, they cast a spell on his nose to grow when he does not tell the truth.

Meanwhile, two wily crooks—Carpacious Cat (Gina Lardi) and Ferdinand Fox (Ryan Van Nostrand)—set up their scam “Festival El Grande” to fleece the villagers. When they discover the magic wooden boy, the pair embark on yet another scheme. 

Along with the professional acting company, Pinocchio features two dozen students from Theatre Three’s Summer Dramatic Academy.

The score features the original songs “Lovely Thoughts,” “Bad Harmony,” “You Can Count on Me,” “Taran-Tella Da Truth,” “Put Tomorrow in Your Hands,” “Keep Your Chin Up and Smile,” and the calypso “Festival El Grande.”

The production is directed by Sanzel while  Quattrock and Hoffman, who musically directed, form the two-keyboard combo. Choreography is by Kiernan Urso, costume design is by Jason Allyn and Melissa Troxler is the production stage manager.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson presents Pinocchio through Aug. 10. Running time is one hour with a 15 minute intermission. Photos with the cast are available in the lobby after the show. Final performances are Friday, August 9, at 11 a.m., and Saturday, August 10, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. 

Children’s theater continues with Theatre Three’s annual productions of A Kooky Spooky Halloween from Oct. 5 to 19, and and Barnaby Saves Christmas from Nov. 23 to Dec. 28. 

All seats are $12. Call the box office at 631-928-9100 or visit theatrethree.com for tickets and information.
