It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Leman Manhattan Prep ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They won by a run and slipped past the Staten Island Academy Tigers 6-5. This was payback for the Bull, who suffered a 5-2 loss the last time these two teams met.
Riku Kaizuka and Jack Haskell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Kaizuka pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Haskell didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over five innings pitched. At the plate, Kaizuka scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4, while Haskell went 2-for-5 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI Haskell has posted since back in April of 2024.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Lucas Paulino, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-5. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Leman Manhattan Prep has started the season off flawlessly and has a 2-0 record to show for it.
