Girls Softball!
The Long Island Astros Organization now offers girls fast-pitch softball.  Our first LI Lady Astros team is off to a blazing start this summer with a 3-0 winning streak!  Their opening day game, pitcher Tierney Fitzgerald threw a perfect game, striking out nine of the twelve batters she faced.  This, coupled with strong batting through the lineup, has already positioned the Lady Astros as the team to beat in the NJBL.  The 12 and under team is led by Manager Debbie Braito and Coach Marissa Brucculeri.  Congratulations to our Lady Astros!
