The Wheatley baseball team was hoping to defend its class B county title this spring.

But after an outstanding regular season, the fifth-seeded Wildcats ran into some hot Seaford pitching and saw its year end.

Wheatley was shut out twice, 6-0 and 1-0 in the Class B championship series in mid-May.

Still, it was a fine season for the Wildcats, led by Oswego State-signee shortstop Dylan Rosenberg (.477 average, 25 runs scored), and Adelphi-bound catcher Brian McCleary (.358 average, 16 RBIs).

In Class AA, Port Washington enjoyed a strong season, going 15-7, but slumped toward the end of the season and was beaten in two straight playoff games by Oceanside, 10-0 and 10-2.

In Class A, 15th-seeded Manhasset was eliminated in two games, while 11th-seeded Mineola topped 14th-seed Roslyn in the first round before falling to No. 3 South Side in the second round.
