Leading off today: The St. Dominic baseball team, held to one hit through eight innings against sophomore righty Anthony Eichorn, erupted for 11 runs in the ninth and defeated St. Anthony's, 11-0.

   Eichorn allowed four walks and struck out seven before giving way to relief help in the ninth. St. Dom's took full advantage, sending 17 batters to the plate. Danny Lackner got the scoring started in the 47-minute with an RBI double a day after belting two homers against the Friars.

   More Friday results: Freshman Sam Darpino struck out eight as Newark Valley ended Elmira Notre Dame's 55-game division winning streak with a 6-1 triumph in an Interscholastic Athletic Conference Division I softball game. Sophomore Kelsey O'Donnell went 2-for-3, including a two-run single in the fourth to give Newark Valley the lead.

   Oneida's Pat McLaughlin had a big night at the 55th New Hartford Track Invitational, winning the 110-meter high hurdles, breaking a 30-year-old school record with a second-place finish in the long jump, and scoring third-place points in the high jump.

   In one 15-minute span, the junior won his hurdles semifinal, covered 22-4½ to break the school long jump mark and then went over the high jump bar at 6-2. He came back later to win the hurdles in :15.25. He's gone as low as :15.03 this season.

   Close call: A bayman helped rescue about 20 students on St. Anthony's crew team who capsized in the choppy waters of Lloyd Harbor, police told Newsday.

   About 10 a.m. Friday, Lloyd Harbor police received a call that two crew sculls had capsized and the athletes and their coach were clinging to the boats, Officer Joseph Donnaruma said.

   By the time police responded, bayman William Rusinski had pulled several students aboard his boat and flagged down another vessel to assist with the remaining members, according to Rusinski's wife, Kimberly. Rusinski brought the students ashore, and all were checked out at Huntington Hospital before being released.

   End of the line? Veteran Lehman football coach Carmine Colasanto wasn't on the field when his team started spring workouts this week, and school sources told the New York Daily News principal Robert Leder has banned him from the building.

   A source said Leder plans to fire Colasanto, who has coached football at the Bronx school for the 32 seasons, angry over findings from an investigation that will apparently cost Leder his job. Leder will be leaving in June after a probe found that two assistant coaches were being paid hourly wages as football coaches despite records showing they weren't on campus. Colasanto was named in the report for approving the pay.
