Fieldston bats come alive late to avoid mercy-rule, but Lady Eagles still doubled-up by visiting Poly

By Jason Eisenberg

May 16, 2011 -- It has been an interesting season, to say the least, for the Fieldston softball team. The Lady Eagles currently sit in fifth-place within the seven-team Ivy standings, with a disappointing 6-8 overall record and a 4-7 mark against league opponents. However, a closer look at the local team’s results -- and specifically the final scores of each game -- seem to indicate two completely different stories being written in 2011. (Read More)

Gaer’s four RBIs and Dreyfuss’ complete-game gem help Riverdale sweep season series from Fieldston

By Jason Eisenberg

May 12, 2011 -- After opening the season with 10 straight victories, the Riverdale Country School baseball team had cooled off a bit recently, losing three of the past six games -- including two in a row -- heading in to Wednesday’s meeting with Fieldston.

However, a matchup with their local rivals must have been exactly what was needed to get back on track, as the Falcons did just about everything right in a 5-2 win over the Eagles and completed a sweep of the 2011 head-to-head series between these two schools.

With five head-to-head meetings between the schools already in the books -- including football, soccer and basketball -- Fieldston was still undefeated and boasted four wins along with a draw in soccer. It appeared that this dominance by the Eagles was going to continue last Thursday, when Fieldston held a 3-1 lead over Riverdale after five innings, in the first of two baseball games between the rivals this season.

Patience at plate, strong pitching carries Fieldston past Horace Mann in quarterfinals of baseball tourney

By Jason Eisenberg

May 22, 2011 -- Fieldston baseball head coach Tony Marro admits he would have been surprised if somebody told him his team would still be hitless more than halfway through the biggest game of the season. He probably would have been even more shocked -- considering the circumstances -- to learn that his squad still had a chance to win the contest, let alone actually be in the lead at that point.

Yet, this is the exact position the fourth-seeded Eagles found themselves in on Saturday morning while facing fifth-seeded Horace Mann during a quarterfinal matchup of the NYSAIS tournament. (Read More)
