West Deptford senior Tom Jakubowski has committed to attend Long Island University on a baseball scholarship.

"I went to visit a few weeks ago, and I felt like I fit right in with the team," Jakubowski said Wednesday. "The coaching staff was great, and I'll be going from one winning program to another winning program."

Long Island University is a member of the Northeast Conference. The Blackbirds set a program record for victories by going 28-23 last season.

Jakubowski said he plans to major in sports science.

Jakubowski hit .517 last season in helping West Deptford to the South Jersey Group 2 title. He had 10 doubles, eight homers and 51 RBIs, and scored 31 runs.
