Kings Park wins Suffolk County Class A baseball championship over Sayville

Kings Park High School took back the Suffolk County Class A championship on May 30, 2026, beating Sayville in Game 2 of the Section XI final in Selden and finishing the postseason as the county’s top seed.

The win landed in a rematch between two of Suffolk’s strongest Class A programs and gave the Kingsmen another banner for a school that has made baseball central to its identity. Kings Park entered the 2026 postseason as the No. 1 seed, then closed the series against a Sayville team that had already shown how dangerous it could be when it opened the season by beating Kings Park 9-1 on March 27.

Under head coach Andrew Abreu, who has led the program since before the 2020 season, Kings Park has built a run of success that has changed the expectations around the school and in the surrounding community. The Kingsmen won the Suffolk Class A title in 2024, then followed with the Long Island Class A championship on a walk-off balk against Clarke, a 3-2 finish that sent the team to the state finals in Binghamton, where it lost to Maine-Endwell 5-3.

That stretch gave Kings Park a recent title pedigree, but it also set a high bar. The team returned to the postseason as the reigning Class A Suffolk County and Long Island champion before its title defenses ended in 2025 with a 4-3 loss to Center Moriches. Saturday’s victory over Sayville showed that Kings Park had regrouped quickly and remained one of the county’s most established programs.

The matchup also reflected how tightly packed the Class A landscape has become in Suffolk County. The Suffolk County Baseball Coaches Association’s 2026 structure places Kings Park and Sayville in League 6 with other Class A schools including Rocky Point, Miller Place and Mt. Sinai, underscoring a competitive tier where every game has playoff weight.

For Kings Park, the championship was about more than one afternoon in Selden. It restored the program to the top of Suffolk Class A, strengthened a baseball culture that had already delivered county, Long Island and state-final runs, and sent another clear signal that the Kingsmen remain a fixture in the county’s baseball conversation.
